We set out looking for the billboards, wild with mortality and anger and fear. We had some bullshit idea that we could be heroes. We would burn the billboards to the ground, fell them like trees with axes and chainsaws.

The popular press has traditionally either ignored or deplored the slasher film. Given the genre's focus on graphic violence one is scarcely surprised that the critical establishment has condemned the slasher film, claiming that viewers enjoy and become implicated in the murderer's sadistic rampages. But Clover questions the assumption that the viewer's enjoyment is really sadistic or misogynistic in the way that most critics have posited. True, most of the killers are male and most of the victims are female.
