Abstract

Women in East Asia have been under the oppression of patriarchal society for a long time, due to the differences in physiological structure of gender, women get easier to be treated by violence. But horror movies often give women who lost their lives some supernatural magic, helping them get power beyond male, so they can make a revenge for themselves. This essay will analyze the oppression of East Asian women reflected in horror films from different aspects.
