Alright, alright, lemme tell ya ’bout these “good for her” horror movies. You know, the ones where the gals ain’t just screamin’ and runnin’, but they’re kickin’ butt and takin’ names. I ain’t no fancy movie critic, mind you, but I know what I like.
So, what’s this “good for her” stuff all about? Well, it’s like when you’re watchin’ a movie and some fella is doin’ a gal wrong, real wrong, and she finally gets fed up and gives him what for. And you’re sittin’ there thinkin’, “Yeah, you go girl! Good for her!” That’s the kinda movie we’re talkin’ ’bout. It’s about women gettin’ even, plain and simple.
Now, some folks like them horror movies where it’s just blood and guts everywhere. Nothin’ wrong with that, I guess, but I like a little somethin’ more. I like seein’ the underdog, the one everyone thinks is weak, turn the tables. That’s what makes a “good for her” horror movie so darn satisfying.
- First off, you gotta have a gal who’s been pushed around. Maybe it’s her husband, maybe it’s some crazy stalker, maybe it’s just the whole darn world. But she’s had enough.
- Then, somethin’ snaps. Maybe she finds a weapon, maybe she just gets real mad, but she ain’t takin’ it anymore.
- And finally, the payback. This is the best part, where she gets to unleash all that anger and frustration. And boy, is it somethin’ to see!
I remember watchin’ one movie, can’t recall the name right now, but this gal, she was trapped in a house with a bunch of killers. They thought they had her, but she was smarter than all of ’em put together. She used everything she could find, pots, pans, even a darn toothbrush, to fight back. And let me tell ya, she won. I was clappin’ and cheerin’ by the end, thinkin’, “Good for her!” That’s the kind of movie that sticks with ya.
Another good one, this gal, her family was in trouble, and she had to go to some crazy lengths to protect them. She wasn’t afraid to get her hands dirty, that’s for sure. She was tough as nails, and she didn’t let anyone mess with her or her kin. By the time the credits rolled, you just knew those bad guys learned their lesson. And again, I’m thinkin’, “Good for her!” That’s what it’s all about, see? Women finding their strength and fightin’ back.
There’s this other kind too, where maybe the gal ain’t so tough on the outside, but she’s got somethin’ else, somethin’ inside her that’s just as powerful. Maybe it’s her smarts, maybe it’s her determination, maybe it’s just plain stubbornness. But whatever it is, it’s enough to get her through. And when she finally triumphs, it’s even sweeter, because you know she had to work for it. And you can’t help but say, “Good for her!”
And it ain’t always just about physical strength, you know. Sometimes it’s about outsmarting the bad guy, playin’ him at his own game. That’s just as satisfying, maybe even more so. Seein’ a gal use her brains to get out of a tough spot, that’s a real treat. It shows you that bein’ strong ain’t just about muscles, it’s about heart and mind too. And when the bad guy gets what’s comin’ to him, you’re thinkin’, “Yep, good for her.”
Now, some folks might say these movies are just silly, just mindless entertainment. But I think there’s somethin’ more to ’em. I think they’re about showin’ that women ain’t just victims, they’re fighters too. They’re about showin’ that even when things seem hopeless, there’s always a way to fight back. And that’s a message worth hearin’, ain’t it? And when that final scene hits and you see her standing tall, victorious, you can’t help but feel a surge of pride and think, or maybe even shout, “Good for her!”
So, next time you’re lookin’ for a horror movie, don’t just settle for the same old blood and guts. Look for one of these “good for her” flicks. You might be surprised at how much you enjoy seein’ a gal take charge and kick some butt. It’s a good feelin’, you know? And after all, who doesn’t like a good story where the underdog comes out on top? And when she does, you know what I’m gonna say. Good for her. It’s always a good time when the tables turn and the ones you least expect rise to the occasion. Good for her indeed.
