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.

Don't Go in the Woods

Everyone has nightmares about the ugliest way to die.

Don't Go in the Woods is another slasher rescued from wrongful imprisonment in the short-lived purgatory known as the BBFC Video Nasty List. Proof that it was not worthy of the cult status imbued by inclusion on the now infamous list is that when it was finally re-released in 2007 it passed the censors uncut and was rated 15. It is also a contentio... Click to read more "Don't Go in the Woods"

The Slayer

Terror strikes again and again.

Posted on 25 June 2014 by

Pazuzu Iscariot

For the most part, The Slayer brings little new to slashers of that era but manages to present itself in a way that makes it feel like it might have a little something extra to offer. Writer and director J.S. Cardone uses tried and tested horror methodologies amid a few innovations but fails to grasp any of these elements as opportunities to really...

Did you remember to lock your door?

As humanity's need to make sense of the world by categorising everything to the utmost degree grows stronger the mumblegore genre has been given life. Mumblecore describes a low budget brand of independent film with an emphasis on natural dialogue, throw in some horror and some cunning rhyming skills and the further refinement of mumblegore becomes...

Be glad you're afraid. It means you're still alive.

As the end of the eighties loomed, slasher movie makers began to struggle to find original methods and motivations for serial killers to deprive the innocent of the rest of their life. To keep it real, before the later decades resorted to supernatural fast food mascots and murderous baked goods, writer and director Dick Maas (known for The Lift and...

Someone's Knocking at the Door

We all kill... and fuck... together...

Posted on 04 April 2014 by

Pazuzu Iscariot

Drugs are never the answer (unless the question is “What shall we do at the weekend?”). It is obvious from the opening credits that Someone's Knocking at the Door is going to feature copious amounts of narcotics, drug addled students dying and a modern psychedelic skew. It is obvious from the opening scene that loose morals and brutal pervertedness... Click to read more "Someone's Knocking at the Door"

Pazuzu Iscariot

Scream Queen is a term used to describe an actress famous for her roles in horror movies, either as a regular victim, the heroine or the disturbed killer.
