Men,Women and chairs 1992
she came up with the opposite idea of wheeler Winston Dixon and she set horror in modern dated houses. the reason why she set the scene is because the audience would expect horrible things to happen. She said that films should be full of screaming female victims being hacked up by male monsters and serial killers, urged by an audience of teenage boys. The scenario of the final girl also callsinto question the Mulveyan paradigm, she shows that men can identify with women, that a woman can employ an active investigating gaze without being punished. She also thinks that killers in horror films tend to either have issues with childhood for example Freddie Krugger played a child molester.
She used walls in houses which at first seem safe by keeping the killer out soon become prisons holding victims in. In 1974 the victim locked in somewhere (houses, room, closet, car) waiting with a pounding heart while the killer slashes, hacks, drills his way in.
No slasher films contain guns, victims get fire alarms, like telephones, doorbells, and car engines.
used to be only one beautiful woman being killed in horror movies, only thing better than one beautiful woman being gruesomely murdered was a whole series of beautiful women being gruesomely murdered.
