There is a large change between the female victims/leads in movies like The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari and the movie Scream. Such as after Psycho in 1960 and Rosemary's Baby in 1968 the females started fighting back against the killer/monster but are still have no control over their own lives. In Robert Weine's film The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari released in 1919 the female is extremely reliant on the male lead, Alan, for survival. Another big change was when the lead role stopped being a man but a woman this started when the females started to fight back agents the evil in the film. Up until Was Craven, Scream, the female lead would always be saved by the 'big strong man', making here completely reliant on him, this cycle was broken by a character named Gail Weathers who shot one of the killers in the head.
I have watched people who have nothing to do with the film business, but who have become part of the circle for a short period of time. They can be truly devastated when the film wraps and people leave.
