A lot of horror films present women in the 'male gaze', with their femininity and sexuality in particular being focused on by the camerawork. Women are often presented in one of two extremes, either powerless and submissive or seductive and tempting.
The way in which the audience reacts to the female on screen depends on how the male character responds to her, for example, if the male finds the female attractive, the audience is invited to view her from no more than a sexual aspect.
