Carol J. Clover’s seminal work examines the gender dynamics inherent in the modern horror film, specifically focusing on the slasher subgenre. By analyzing the roles of victims and villains, she introduces the concept of the 'final girl' to explain how audiences identify with characters across gender lines. This rigorous cultural analysis challenges traditional assumptions about spectatorship and the psychological construction of gender in popular cinema.
