Regarding Misogyny:
I think the misogyny of the movie is in the literary sense. The fact that there is an almost entirely female cast creates the opportunity for violence to be done to women exclusively. In the film, there are several men that die, three at the hands of the bugs and one at the hands of the police woman, but the really stand out moments are all women.
So, there is an argument here, but I wonder to what extent its really necessary. Arguing about the intent of an author is always difficult and convoluted.
