Slasher Movies

A Slasher Movie typically involves a number of teenagers being creatively killed off one-by-one by an extreme psychopath or a supernatural killer often for revenge but sometimes just for fun! Modern Slasher Movies can be fairly light hearted but still often quite shock filled and extremely gory.

Many slasher anti-heroes are now infamous due to the popularity of the genre (and the substantial amount of sequels that slashers spawn), such as Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street, Michael Myers from Halloween and Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th.

Alfred Hitchcok's Psycho is often cited as the original Slasher Flick and has inspired hundreds of slashers from Dementia 13, Blood Feast and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to the more recent Final Destination and Wrong Turn.

The Cabin in the Woods

If you hear a strange sound outside... have sex.

Posted on 11 October 2013 by

Pazuzu Iscariot

The Cabin in the Woods is a rarity in modern horror in that it gets a lot right. Directed by Drew Goddard (who also wrote the movie alongside Joss Whedon), it is apparent that his time writing and producing TV was well spent, mastering the art before delving into film. Whedon's influence is also very noticeable within the execution of the film, the... Click to read more "The Cabin in the Woods"

In 2009, Indonesian writer/directors “The Mo Brothers” (aka Kimo Stamboel and Timo Tjahjanto) unleashed their horror movie Macabre on the populace of Singapore. They made a deliberate effort to merge the American slasher genre with more traditional Eastern horror and they definitely achieved this. It draws influences from American horror so much so...

Strange Behavior

Good Kids Turned Killers!

Pazuzu Iscariot

Strange Behavior (known as Dead Kids, Human Experiments, Small Town Massacre and Beyond the Gate but never referred to as Strange Behaviour in the UK) is a peculiar entry on the list of video nasties. Most peculiar is why it was banned in the first place, yes it has gore, but not enough and not in a context where a banning should be necessary. Comp... Click to read more "Strange Behavior"

You have the right to remain silent. Forever.

Pazuzu Iscariot

Back in the late eighties when New York cops had facial hair that would make Tom Selleck feel inadequate and 93% of crime was committed by Puerto Rican's in headbands, William Lustig (Director) and Larry Cohen (Writer and producer) got together to show society that not all police in America greet citizens with a "toodle pip" before rescuing a cat f...

Needle

Ten Suspects. Six Clues. One Killer...

Posted on 18 February 2013 by

Pazuzu Iscariot

Needle is an Australian slasher movie written and directed by John V. Soto (whose name you may recognise from Ozsploitation movies such as Crush... or maybe not). Soto takes a fairly original concept and some intriguing characters and slots them perfectly into the generic American slasher template. Despite the customary execution of the plot, Needl...
