A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

Samuel Bayer

With its mess of a script, wasted potential, and questionable effects work, the new Nightmare on Elm Street is sadly disappointing and definitely not made for fans of the original. Those who like Platinum Dunes style of...

April Fools Day (2008)

The Butcher Brothers

The film offers no redeeming values, except for maybe some of the female eye-candy from the lead actresses. There aren't any scares, nudity, or even gore, and I felt as though I was watching some cheesy day-time soap...

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...

Bloody Murder (2000)

Ralph Portillo

Unoriginal, cliched, bad-acted and bad-scripted can all be described as this film. If you're not looking for anything special and have lots of cash to blow then I guess you can check this out, but I don't recommend...

Dead in 3 Days 2 (2008)

Andreas Prochaska

Although an improvement over the first, it's still not much better or different than what genre vets have already seen. The first half plays out like a mystery, why the 2nd is every bit as clichéd and...

Dream Home (2010)

Ho-Cheung Pang

Despite some pacing issues at times, Dream Home is a refreshing take on the normally tired sub-genre and not only offers an interesting concept behind the killings, but also gives us a lot of gory eye-candy and deaths to...

Drive Thru (2007)

Brendan Cowles

Drive Thru is neither a good nor a bad film, existing merely to entertain by its brainless and clichéd storyline and silly comedy aspects. Offering a decent-looking killer clown, but some uninspiring deaths, it's a...

Faces in the Crowd (2011)

Julien Magnat

Faces in the Crowd is a good example of a movie that offers a fairly original and intriguing premise, but suffers a very bland and poor execution. Milla fans may enjoy this, but viewers seeking a horror flick will likely...

Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981)

Steve Miner

It's not perfect, but it comes as close to it as a slasher sequel can. With a charismatic leading lady, good pacing, and a frightening bagheaded Jason, Part 2 has everything you could ask for. A must see for any lover...

Friday the 13th Part 3 (1982)

Steve Miner

While my least favorite of the first four, Friday the 13th Part 3 still delivers all the goods needed to make a slasher fan happy. A technical achievement at the time that outgrossed Jaws 3-D and Amityville 3-D, me thinks,...

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)

Joseph Zito

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter is a strong entry into one of the most beloved (and berated) horror franchises of all time. Boasting strong direction, likable actors (for the most part), and a copious amount of badassery...

Funeral Home (1980)

William Fruet

The film has very little redeeming value -- there's no nudity, gore, offers very little deaths, and it's slow-paced for the first hour. However, for those looking for mystery-type horror films, this may be a little...

Grandmother's House (1989)

Peter Rader

A flawed, but underrated 80's slasher that offers an interesting mystery in the first half that keeps the viewer guessing, while the second half becomes your standard, plot-hole ridden and cliched slasher. Worth a check...

Hostel: Part III (2011)

Scott Spiegel

This is simply a poor excuse of a Hostel movie. The deaths were unimaginative and tame, there's barely any gore at all, and the ending is just completely ridiculous. Aside from the fact that it managed to somehow keep...

Mute Witness (1995)

Anthony Waller

A good and original flick. A lot of suspenseful scenes and nice comedic moments to loosen up the serious feel. Definitely worth a check.

Prom Night (2008)

Nelson McCormick

Prom Night brings unoriginality to new levels, from its premise to its scares; the movie offers no redeeming qualities and proves that once again Hollywood doesn't care about delivering quality remakes. Do yourself a...

Real Killers (2000)

Mike Mendez

Not a bad direct-to-video. This is a good movie at first, but starts to lose its edge when you lose track of what's actually going on. There is nice action and twists, but the plot is its weakest point. Check this out...

Saint (2010)

Dick Maas

Saint is a surprisingly fun and enjoyable slasher that doesn't shy away from the gore and mayhem, but due to some bad decisions (not using the Bishop enough) and delivering an even worse climax, the film falls short in...

Sleepy Hollow High (2000)

Kevin Summerfield

A clichéd and predictable movie with a lame-ass story and unrealistic acting. Don't waste your time with this mess.

Sorority Row (2009)

Stewart Hendler

Sorority Row is exactly what you expect it to be; A typical slasher film that plays by the rules. Only this time it’s well acted, thanks to all the lovely leading ladies, with believable dialogue and an electric directing...

The Coroner (1999)

Juan A. Mas

Here's a word of advice for all you horror fans out there... if you see a movie in a video store and you've never heard of it before and the cover of the box looks somewhat cool and when you read the plot in the...

The Hills Run Red (2009)

Dave Parker

The movie isn't the most original, but it still attempts to throw some twists at us towards the end, which chances are us seasoned genre vets will have already seen coming. Regardless, there was a good amount of blood...

The Loved Ones (2009)

Sean Byrne

The Loved Ones is a surprisingly good addition to the psycho-family sub-genre. The flick doesn't necessarily deliver anything we haven't already seen, but its creative, ballsy, and (at times) dream-like approach...

The Sleeper (2012)

Justin Russell

As an experiment in recreating the look and tone of the 80s slasher on a shoestring budget, The Sleeper rocks it. As a stand-alone story, it leaves a lot to be desired. If you’re a slasher fanboy, like myself, it’s...

The Stepfather (2009)

Nelson McCormick

As a remake of a beloved 80s gem, The Stepfather fails. As a standalone thriller meant for no more than entertainment value, The Stepfather fails. As a bloodless, watered down, tween friendly thrill-less thriller with a...

Trick or Treats (1982)

Gary Graver

Lame 80s slasher. Barely any deaths, zero gore, basically just an hour full of tricks pulled on the babysitter. Don't bother with this nonsense.

Vacancy (2007)

Nimród Antal

Despite a couple plot-holes and a seemingly abrupt ending, the movie will likely keep viewers on the edge of their seats from the moment the leads step foot in the room, to the moment the credits roll. Worth a check.

Venom (2005)

Jim Gillespie

A horror film for horror fans. Same-old story, but with a interesting new lead villain and cool deaths; mixed with decent gore. Check this enjoyable no-brainer slash-flick.

When a Stranger Calls (1979)

Fred Walton

If it weren't for the intro this movie would just be another wasted horror film to come out in the 70s. The film is tense and suspenseful until 20-minutes, which is the point where viewers may be prone to falling asleep...
