205 - Room of Fear

Awaiting Release

German

Rainer Matsutani

What happened in Room 205? Why has no one lived there for over a year? Katrin could care less: the 19-year-old student has landed a room in the dorm, and that means freedom! Freedom from home and her over-protective father....

Black Christmas (1974)

Bob Clark

Black Christmas is an expertly crafted chiller that successfully relied more on genuine tension and thrills than over the top gore. Easily one of my favorite holiday slashers, I give Black Christmas a whopping 8 screwing...

Dark Corners

Pre-Production

English

Tom Shankland

Revolves around Jess, a beautiful blind college girl who is tormented by a methodic killer who knows her well, and therefore knows what terrifies her. He is motivated by sadistic revenge, but she turns her apparent weakness...

Girls Nite Out (1984)

Robert Deubel

Girls Nite Out should remain forgotten, as it offers nothing new or good to the genre. I have a hard time imagining this film has any kind of a fan base, when almost every other slasher is better. The few things this film...

Happy Hell Night (1992)

Brian Owens

Not a bad underrated slasher flick. The undead demonic priest looked pretty cool and there were plenty of dead bodies. Despite it's unoriginality, it entertained me from the start. Worth a check!

Nightwish (1989)

Bruce R. Cook

A boring and uneventful 80's effort that suffers from both an identity and a proper script. Don't bother with this one.

Pledge Night (1988)

Paul Ziller

This movie could have been a lot better. Seemed rushed towards the end and the climax was just plain silly. Rent this to see the first 40 minutes and think of it as a comedy. Don't bother with the rest.

Pranks (1981)

Stephen Carpenter, Jeffrey Obrow

A good movie if you've never seen an 80's slasher movie before, otherwise it's nothing but the same-old. It does have some interesting deaths and they aren't too far apart, so worth a check if you're...

Rush Week (1989)

Bob Bralver

A good rent if you're into 80's slasher movies. Not very original, but not many slashers are. The killer wasn't too bad either.

Sexykiller

Awaiting Release

Spanish

Miguel Martí

Set on a college campus where a string of mysterious murders have occurred, leaving the local police baffled. Unbeknownst to them, the killer happens to be the innocent-looking and highly-fashionable Barbera.

Sexykiller (2008)

Miguel Martí

A failed attempt at crossing two sub-genres together, which comes off as a confusing mess. Identity crises or not, the zombie aspect that we're introduced to towards the end of the pic is somewhat entertaining, but...

Splatter University (1984)

Richard W. Haines

This is your typical 80's slasher that bares the average clichés and predictable that you've seen a dozen times before. Not recommended.

The Apparition

Post-Production

English

Todd Lincoln

When frightening events start to occur in their home, young couple Kelly (Ashley Greene) and Ben (Sebastian Stan) discover they are being haunted by a presence that was accidentally conjured during a university...

The Ghostmaker

Awaiting Release

English

Mauro Borrelli

Centers around a group of college friends, who discover a 15th century coffin that allows them to experience the world as ghosts. While their first adventures in the spirit world are playful and innocent, the "Box of...

The Initiation (1984)

Larry Stewart

A very underrated 80's slasher film. Pretty original story and a killer that DOESN'T wear a mask. Cool twist at the end. Recommended if you can find it.

Theorem

In Development

English

N/A

Tells the story of a genius college professor who, while trying to investigate the genetic compound of an ancient artifact, discovers a relic from Hell and accidentally unlocks the equation for evil.

Vamp (1986)

Richard Wenk

A fun movie that doesn't take itself seriously and offers a good assortment of interesting characters. If you're into 80s vamp flicks like Fright Night then I suggest giving this one a shot.
