 * This article states it needs to be cleaned up.
 * The article does not have enough citations used.
 * Second paragraph has one large quote that should be separated.
 * Has specific places where you cannot tell whether it is opinion or fact.
 * Lead section is too complicated and frazzled.
 * The 'Structure' section allows us to see how the act is structured but we do not get any more information about these sections/titles of the act. Should there not be information about them?
 * Many sections cannot be identified as fact, there is no citation.
 * Many of the links are not reliable sources.
 * Small grammar mistakes.
 * Could have better clarity and structure/flow.

Annotated Bibliography
Clover, Carol J. 1996. “Her Body, Himself: Gender in the Slasher Film”. In The Dread of Difference: Gender and the Horror Film, Edited by: Grant, Ed. Barry Keith. 66–113. Austin, TX: U. of Texas P.

Carol Clover states that the monster in horror films possesses emasculated rage that portrays the male idea of the monstrous female identity. The audience relates only with masculinity and is disdained by femininity. There is a possibility that the heroine who defeats the monster is a female and is categorized as the final girl. However, the final girl is only able to kill or escape the monster by taking on male characteristics.

Weaver III, J.B. "Are `Slasher' Horror Films Sexually Violent? A Content Analysis." Journal Of Broadcasting & Electronic Media 35.3 (1991): 385-392. Communication & Mass Media Complete. Web. 11 Feb. 2015.

Slasher films do not predominantly victimize women like many individuals believe. However, the fact is both women and men who have been sexually involved in the slasher genre are destined for death. Even though Weaver’s research is unable to pin point whether women are or aren’t the gender who is dominantly killed in an explicitly sexual way, he shows small ways it can be seen.

Wester, Maisha. "Torture Porn And Uneasy Feminisms: Re-Thinking (Wo)Men In Eli Roth's Hostel Films." Quarterly Review Of Film & Video 29.5 (2012): 387-400.Communication & Mass Media Complete. Web. 11 Feb. 2015.

The torture we see in the torture horror genre can be seen in contemporary U.S. discourses. The methods of torturing in these films can be adapted from how we think about terrorism and terrorists. Wester states that the hero and the monster have blurred lines making their characteristics very similar. Both the hero and the monster are dependent on the female body whilst taking part of the patriarchal world and degrading women.

Huddleston, Jason. "Unmasking The Monster: Hiding And Revealing Male Sexuality In John Carpenter's Halloween." Journal Of Visual Literacy 25.2 (2005): 219-236.Communication & Mass Media Complete. Web. 11 Feb. 2015.

The monsters in horror films try to hide their sexual frustration by masking their identity and human self. The mask allows the monster to kill and release the tension from his sexual repression. It also resembles a mirror gazing back at the audience who is unsuccessful in hiding their own sexual desires.
