Hello all, I am just new to this site!

I need your help!!

Im trying to do my dissertation at the mo, on The female Identity in past and present horror/ slasher films, and i need ur views on the subject. As much feedback as possible would be much appreciated!!

Do any of you have any views on the subject ie, the female as the victim, the man as the monster, the final girl, the different characters or just an opinion on the genre as a whole???

ya know how, ts always the girls having sex with their boyfriends that are quickly killed off, while the virgin (or final girl as you put it) is the one who overpowers the bad and defeats him.

Does anyone agree/ diagree with: the victim-heroine is female who "acquits herself 'like a man'," therefore by the end of the slasher horror film, the typical "feminine" characteristics become "masculinized" through the action of the film.



I need to build up info, possible interviews and others opinions

Please help would be so so appreciated!! :) I need your help!!
