I wouldn't say feminist but more female leaning. When we look at what media each gender views the most, women are into WAY MORE fucked up things than men and horror being one of them.
Plus when you see how characters react typically in those films, most guys would instead either nuke it from a safe distance or do this. Centuries of being hunters has taught us if you face an unknown situation, best bet is to run the fuck away to live another day. None of this 'let's check out the abandoned asylum at night' shit, I watch real Ubex channels and they do their exploring in the day time in teams of two or more majority of the time.
There are a few films that do this kind of thing but they are the minority than the majority.
