Men, Women, And Chain Saws by Carol J. Clover
Gender in the Modern Horror Film
A pioneering study of gender and spectatorship in modern horror films that argues slasher movies both enforce and unsettle sexual politics by constructing shifting audience identifications—most famously through the figure of the ‘final girl’—and by staging violence, the gaze, and bodily vulnerability in ways that reveal cultural anxieties about masculinity, femininity, and power.
