not entirely devoid of interesting ideas, but clover's commitment to the psychoanalytical lens renders huge swathes of the book borderline incomprehensible

Surprisingly Freudian, partially outdated but still a great overall book that treats its subject matter well.

This was a difficult read, slow at points and full of terminology that I wasn't all together familiar with. Some parts were easier to read than others but overall I was disappointed after wanting to read this for awhile. If you are familiar with the works of Freud and the idea of the "male/active" gaze then you'll have an easier time of this than I did most likely. I hope to find an updated, easier to read look at gender and feminism in horror films.
