Men, Women, and Chain Saws: Gender in the Modern Horror Film by Carol J. Clover

informative reflective slow-paced

4.0

An interesting dive into the gendered and psychosexual nature of horror films up through the late 80’s, and the ways in which the genera of horror gives us windows into perceptions and feelings of gender, the controlled flow of anticipation and release, and sadomasochistic sexual fantasy. This book is primarily an analytical exploration of these topics from a cis-gendered and heteronormative standpoint with touches on queer representation.
