Posted under Slasher FilmsOk so I am a really big horror movie fan but I loathe!!! Slasher Films. It took me two years to finally watch the first saw movie but I have to admit it turned out to be a really smart movie without being slasher like I thought it would be. So my idea of Horror Movies are ones with decent story lines that are scary without making me puke pretty much. Some of my favorites are the original Omen, Exorcist, Saw, 28 days later, The Exorcism of Emily Rose and stuff like that so my question is what is the scariest/ best horror movie that you have seen lately?
These are the ones I recently watched and really hated didn’t think they were scary at all:
The Messengers
The Abandoned
Tourista’s (just gross)
Decent
I haven’t seen 1408 but I want to:
I have seen:
The Hitcher (wasnt sacry to me)
The Ring and Ring 2 those are both really good. The first one was really scary I thought.
I have seen all of the saw movies so far and the first is still my favorite although the rest were not bad.
u should see the invasion. it’s not bloody, but a good, intellegent horror.
just wondering :\ I’m not sure if this is the right category for this, sorry if it isn’t.
A pacifist is a person who dislikes real violence and cruelty where as a movie is just a movie, and it’s not being hypocritical towards their beliefs
on a trip thru west virginia, an unsuspecting group of generation Xers find themselves in a race for their lives as they are hunted by genetically deformed hillbillies…….that was a great movie, this is just a trip my daughter and i took to west va. to collect some rent.

Posted under Slasher FilmsI’m looking for a couple of rare, obscure and quite graphic/bloody/gory Slasher Films, which I happened to come across in one of my cult film reference books; they were produced in Brazil, by the same producer/director in 1990, and were called "The Ritual of Death" and "Satanic Attraction"…
….does anyone know where I can find them, and if someone has seen them, can you give me any insight on how they are, or if they’re any good???
…available only through mail order, in the early 90’s, several of the released films, directed by Fauzi Mansur, has since gone out of print, are very, very, very hard to find, and have virtually disappeared into the void of obscurity; however, I was one of the curious and lucky few, who ventured into the film work of this Brazilian filmmaker, and picked up several of his productions, when they were made available, including "Ritual…" and "Satanic…"…
…indeed, these films are quite over-the-top bloody and gory, but to put the quality and appeal of his films into the simpliest of terms, consider comparing his films to the portrait work of the great Picasso…..quite visually striking, but ultimately incoherent and confusing…

Smoke and mirrors and everything nice
I wasnt married to the weekend, I was banging on the back end
Kamikaze and Miami Vice
She shook a few of my favorite things
Like cloak and daggers, I see very clear
I couldnt keep it all together, I was spooking in the end zone
Arigato, go-go gadget arm
She only took me for 10,000 yen
Its like a bad dream, something from the back of a magazine
Black and white and cheaply put together
Like a slasher film
Im torn in opposite directions
The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous
God these killings are gorgeous
Darkened corners at every bend
I wasnt sucking down the poison; I was working on the QT
Shaky shaky, all over the world, she tried a cartwheel at every turn
The creepy crawlies, a case of revenge
I had the martyrs that I bartered from the barons for the bandoleers
Karaoke, a feminine flaw, I had a feeling this was not the end
Its like a bad dream, something from the back of a magazine
Black and white and cheaply put together
Like a slasher film
Im torn in opposite directions
The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous
And like a nightmare, covering the tracks that had brought you there
Paranoid and frozen in the heavens
Like a slasher film
Im torn in opposite directions
The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous
Cave in cave out
Nothing but nervous doubt
Waiting for the big bang to get me
[x2]
Waiting for the big bang
Wrapped in plastic, we all get the ends
She had to take it to the majors couldnt keep it on the down low
Silly rabbit, good grief, tambien *
Another stiff at the scene of the crime
Its like a bad dream, something from the back of a magazine
Black and white and cheaply put together
Like a slasher film
Im torn in opposite directions
The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous
And like a nightmare, covering the tracks that had brought you there
Paranoid and frozen in the heavens
Like a slasher film
Im torn in opposite directions
The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous
God these killings are gorgeous

Posted under Slasher FilmsI Love slasher films where, lets say 9 teenagers go on a weekend break for e.g and one of the teenagers is killing everybody and you dont know who it is!
For E.G Films like
Scream – a good example
The Pool ( or swimming pool )
valentine’s day
I Know what you did last summer
Anyone know any films like these ! ??
Most of the following are followed by numerous sequels.
Psycho (1960) – Though not technically a slasher film per se, Psycho helped create the archetype of the disguised, mentally deranged killer who preys on innocent (if sexually indiscreet) young women, and would directly influence many later films. As the slasher craze took off in the 1980s, Psycho was resurrected in the form of three bloodier, less subtle sequels. The film was also remade in 1998.
Twitch of the Death Nerve (1971) – A Giallo by Mario Bava, this atmospheric film truly borrows from (or aids giving birth to) the slasher genre. Halloween, Friday the 13th, Friday the 13th Part II, and others that followed stole an amount of kills for the formula. A gory whodunit, with sleaze and shock that makes it stand out proud among the large horror section.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) – The film most often credited with establishing the "staples" of the slasher genre, including young people poking around in places where they don’t belong (and harm consequently befalling them), the lone female survivor (or Final Girl), the lumbering masked killer who never speaks, etc. The film was followed by three sequels, a remake, and a prequel to said remake. Over twenty years later Wrong Turn was released. This film was influenced by such films as the above and others like Just Before Dawn & The Prey. Wrong Turn was followed by a sequel, which went straight to DVD.
Black Christmas (1974) – One of the first films to combine the elements of a murder mystery with the slasher genre. Notable for use of long tracking shots from the point of view of the film’s killer, an element that would later be cemented by Halloween as a staple of the genre. Later remade by Dimension Films.
Halloween (1978) – Popularized the "classic" slasher formula and, together with Friday the 13th, helped kick the slasher film craze of the ’80s into high gear. Also established the tropes of the innocent, virtuous "Final Girl" (as opposed to her more free-spirited, promiscuous friends), the long tracking shot representing the point of view of the villain (often accompanied by ominous breathing), and the unstoppable, seemingly immortal masked killer. Halloween was followed by seven sequels, and a remake. Certain slasher movies afterwards (such as Offerings & Sorority House Massacre) closely emulated this motion picture.
Friday the 13th (1980) – The first in one of the longest and best known slasher series. Notable for the increased level of gore when compared to earlier genre entries, and increasingly elaborate or unique death scenes. Followed by ten sequels. It has also been emulated by video nasties Madman and The Burning.
Happy Birthday to Me (1980) – Another example of an extremely well executed slasher film, and is known for starring Little House on the Prarie’s Melissa Sue Anderson. The DVD release has caused some controversy because Columbia TriStar released the DVD without the original theatrical music score.
The Burning (1981) – Largely written off as a shameless Friday the 13th rip upon initial release, this inspired 1981 effort has since developed its own cult following in the ensuing years. Particularly notable for two reasons: its decidely grim and mean-spirited tone, distinctly lacking the tongue-in-cheek sense of fun that pervaded many of its brethren; and its gore and make-up effects by Tom Savini. The single largest contributor to the film’s fame is a particular sequence, often dubbed simply "The raft sequence" or "raft massacre", which demonstrates the two aformentioned qualities in equally strong measures. Also noteworthy as one of the very few 80’s slashers that discards the familiar trope of the morally pure "final girl" in favor of a morally suspect "final guy" (who violently executes the more pitiful killer).
The Prowler (1981) – Much like The Burning, this 1981 slasher is notable for having both a decidely mean-spirited tone as well as the make-up effects talents of Tom Savini. The camera lingers on bloodshed for an uncharacteristically prolonged amount of time during several of the film’s gruesome death sequences (due to a moderate boycount), seemingly reveling in the carnage whilst encouraging the viewer to do the same. As with William Lustig’s Maniac (1980), a strong current of misogyny is present. Tom Savini has been reported as saying that this film showcases some of his best work as an artist.
The Funhouse (1981) – Paying homage to his previous work along with psycho and Halloween Tobe Hooper portrayed the killer as a less human more monstrous character but this movie is also noted for being one of the first slashers that displayed a general feeling of sympathy towards Gunther Straker (the deformed killer in question) and made the audience take pity on him (Dean Koontz wrote a novelization based on the screenplay that gave a backstory behind the events of this film).
My Bloody Valentine (1981) – One of the slashers most heavily butchered by the MPAA, this has nevertheless achieved minor cult status. My Bloody Valentine is one of the best executed slasher films of the golden age. It has comparatively little gore, but still creates good suspense and shock moments. Paramount Pictures has still yet to release an uncut version of the film.
Sleepaway Camp (1983) – A classic slasher film with one of the creepiest atmospheres in the entire genre. Its characters, drama, and various methods of murder gave it a cult following on VHS. The film is best remembered for its disturbing climax, which has been hailed as one of the scariest movie scenes ever. It was followed by two campy sequels, an unfinished sequel, and another sequel is expected in the future.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) – First in the series that gave slashers a supernatural twist. Unlike some of its darkly lit, shadowy predecessors, Nightmare on Elm Street films used make-up, special effects and post-production techniques to create startlingly realistic horror images. Followed by seven sequels, and a television spinoff
Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) – Most notable for the amount of controversy surrounding it during its release: the film was condemned by critics such as Siskel and Ebert, and was protested by various parents and religious groups for its depiction of Santa Claus as a murderer (noted also for focusing primarily on this antagonist). Followed by four sequels.
April Fool’s Day (1986) – One of the only slashers that follows the set up of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None. A particularly well known slasher film, that perhaps most known for its ending in which a girl has her throat cut and her friend comes behind her and show that it is not real.
Deliria (film) (1987) – Known for combining Giallo with elements of Halloween’s "classic" slasher formula! It also delivered some rather clever symbolism (notably the killer’s choice in mask). Whilst depicting, it’s antagonist: Irving Wallace; The Night Owl as having a classical thespian past, displaying in his behavior and movements as being warped, but also (in a way almost) flamboyant & dramatic flair, who played deafening pieces of opera music in between his murder-spree only to later on proceed to position his slain victims in artistic & theatrical poses (later as did the character, Francis Dolarhyde: Irving even situates himself amongst their now almost lifelike corpses, as if struggling to be part of this group).
Child’s Play (1988) – Another notable series in the genre to combine traditional slasher elements with both humor and a supernatural twist. Followed by four sequels.
Scream (1996) – Revived Slasher Films in the 1990s, most notable for the used satire of its own genre. It is the most financially successful slasher film ever made, and spawned two sequels.
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) – The most successful of the post-Scream cash-ins. The screenplay was written by Kevin Williamson, who also wrote Scream. Followed by two sequels.
Freddy vs. Jason (2003) – Combined the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street franchises, as the main killers from the two series’ clash after crossing into each others’ killing territory. The eleventh film in the Friday the 13th series, and the eighth in the Nightmare on Elm Street saga.
Posted under Slasher FilmsOkay, before we start, do you know what a final girl is?
If not, it means the smart and virginal girl that will survive and kill the slasher in Slasher Films.
Now, I am wonder if there is slasher film where the guy survives and kills the slasher. Two examples are
Friday the 13th Part VI and Hostel (though it was torture porn)
Ah, Joy Ride
yeah he did
Haven’t seen Wrong Turn
Ever seen the movie Evil Dead? or Dead Snow
