Not only are there so few of them in Hollywood film, but did you ever notice that their reasons for killing are significantly different from men's? With the possible exception of the murderous mother in
Friday the Thirteenth I
, they show no gender confusion. Nor is their motive overtly psychosexual; their anger derives in most cases not from childhood experience but from specific moments in their adult lives in which they have been abandoned or cheated on my men.
Strait-jacket, Play Misty for Me, Mortal Thoughts, Thelma and Louise
and this film come readily to mind. The most noteworthy exception, (which still retains characteristics of some of these other films) is
Monster
(2003).

It's a fact 90% of killers are male. And women often kill for diffrent reasons and with diffrent ways. But we ARE all still human.

Very good observations though. Women usuallly kill people they know, and use poison a lot. But not always. To sort it all out we have a long way to go.
