Revoir les Final Girls : Massacre à la tronçonneuse (Marcus Nispel, 2003) et Halloween (Rob Zombie, 2007)
Résumé
David Roche applies the importance of theory in expanding adaptations to a very different genre: that of slasher films, particularly the recent remakes of Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. In redefining the trope of the final girl (as examined by feminist critics like Carol Clover) for a contemporary audience, filmmakers Rob Zombie and Marcus Nispel show an awareness of their genre, its precedents, and its tropes, that allow them to remake the slasher film in their own image. This reconstruction, of course, is not without its own imperfections and misreadings of feminist texts, as Roche shows.
