Hey Everyone,

I am doing critical research for my A2 exam. I am doing it on the topic of how women are represented in the Slasher Genre and the phenomenon of the 'Final Girl'- the one who overcomes the killer.

It would be a massive help if you could dicuss with me how women are presented, especially how they appear to be victimised and how why the final surviour ends up being a girl and whether that has changed.

I am focusing on mainly on 1970's slashers such as Halloween and Nightmare and Elm street- to see how women are shown in them but also I am lookin at new Slasher films such as The Devils Rejects to see how gender repersentation has changed and to compare them with the beginning of the slashers.

It would be a great help to hear your opinions.

Thank you,
Jodi
