Men, women and chainsaws

Book • 1993
Men, Women, and Chain Saws offers a thought-provoking analysis of gender roles in horror films, particularly the 'final girl' trope.

Clover argues that these films empower female audiences by aligning spectators with the female protagonist who survives and defeats the antagonist.

The book explores how horror films challenge traditional gender roles and power dynamics, providing a feminist perspective within the genre.
