While Sidney does spend much of her time performing the standard routine of a woman in a horror filmrunning, falling, narrowly escaping the killer's bladeshe does manage to kick some ass and even executes the coup de gras on the movie's vile slayer. Plus, she's a rare horror scream queen who seemingly can't be killed.
