‘Terrifier’ director Damien Leone thinks it's "kind of hilarious" that people claim his horror series is misogynistic.
The franchise had been labelled as sexist by some disgruntled viewers for its intense violence against women, though the 42-year-old director pointed to his heavy reliance on "the final girl" trope - which usually finds a young unassuming woman having to face off against a nightmarish creature alone - to dispel these claims, and said the concept is actually a "powerful element" in his work.
