Two of the film's four heroes are women.

There are three scenes in which women talk to each other:

1 - Deardra Farnum brings her husband Bill to the town's only doctor, a woman (Judy Dutton), and they talk to each other about his condition.

2 - Becca Darling asks Judy, her boss, if she can knock off early - to watch her boyfriend play in a baseball game.

3 - Becca and Judy, sequestered in a makeshift sick room in the local high school and strapped to hospital beds, talk to one another about their plight.

Otherwise, Becca and Judy are shown together numerous times, but there aren't any other one-on-one conversations - just a lot of screaming, whimpering and running.

So I think the film passes based on one scene.
