Men, Women, and Chainsaws did a lot to legitimize the genre and argue for feminist subtexts in the horror films of the 1970s, ’80s, and early ’90s. Prior to this book, horror was either ignored by “serious” critics and scholars, or condemned as hopelessly misogynistic.
Clover’s Men, Women, and Chain Saws: Gender in the Modern Horror Film is hands down the most important work of horror film criticism, and one of the most important works of film criticism, period.
Today, I’m reviewing the scholarly book that every horror fan and has to read.
