Men, Women, and Chain Saws

One of my very favorite pieces of gender-based film theory. I recommend this one to all horror-film loving females (and males) interested in deconstructing tropes common to the genre.

Hmm, good but there are a few things standing in the way of getting a better understanding 1) I haven't seen a lot of the movies she discusses, 2) I wasn't born in the 80's so I'm sure there was a more strict toxic masculine culture going on, but there was also the satanic panic going on...so I just don't get that culture around that time period. 3) It's a bit out of date now.

I would love it if the author revisited this now. Otherwise, it is an interesting read and def. put out some new ideas that I haven't thought about.
