Summary:
"Examining the popularity of low-budget cinema, particularly slasher, occult, and rape-revenge films, the author argues that, while such films have been traditionally understood as offering only sadistic pleasure to their mostly male audiences, in actuality they align spectators not with the male tormentor but with the females being tormented - particularly the slasher movie's "final girls"--Who endure fear and degradation before rising to save themselves."--Provided by publisher.
