Bechdel Test Movie List

Two female leads, with plenty of conversations revolving around their friendship, demon possession, personal betrayals, etc. Pity that it's not a particularly good film, IMO.

I don't watch horror films much, but this was really good. Emo band turns to Satan after Myspace doesn't lead them to fame? I'm still not sure about the whole teenage girl/succubus thing, but I think the movie was campy enough for me not to have to scrutinize that too much.

I don't know much about the horror genre, but I think this was good. It was entertaining, the dialogue, like any Cody film, was quirky, and it had a boatload of good actors. The special effects were good. I only hate that it put some really bad emo in my head.

This one surprised me. I thought it was just going to be about how hot Megan Fox was, but it was actually a fairly female-centric story. Not as bad as I thought it would be!

A definite pass, especially at the end, though I would still say a majority of the film is various named female characters talking about men.

However, I thought the inversion of the Damsel in Distress narrative was pretty neat (Needy climbing through the vines in her dress to rescue Chip was a really fun homage to Sleeping Beauty).

Though it's heavily about boys, boys, boys, the larger story of the film is still about the intricacies of Needy and Jennifer's relationship, and Needy's motivations are more to do with Jennifer, including the horror that was done to her by Low Shoulder.

I'll also add that though the sexual tension between Need and Jennifer may clearly have been padded to satisfy male gaze, I think there's some evidence to suggest that the sexual tension is being provided for more than just the straight male gaze, and actually being provided to tap into a legitimate subtext about the two characters.

imo feminist masterpiece

This is not a feminist movie and fails the Bechdel test. All conversations between the deuteragonists revolve around boys, sex, or related to the two. Worse yet, this film pretends to be a satire or parody when in fact it leans too much into tropes and misogyny, racism, shock jokes, trash humor, putting women against women, and has a cheap revenge plot that has no semblance of empowerment.
