All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006)

Jonathan Levine

An above average teen slasher that deliver some nice scenic wide-angle shots and decent twists, but the ending was too complex compared the otherwise simple storyline. Other than that, it's not a bad flick; just don...

Among Friends

Awaiting Release

English

Danielle Harris

Among Friends is a horror (and a comedy, depending on how twisted you are) about a dinner party gone wrong. Set against an 80s backdrop, the good time takes a dark turn when one in the group hijacks the evening in an attempt...

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...

Black Christmas (2006)

Glen Morgan

Yet another pointless remake that's nothing more than a bunch of pretty girls getting killed. Instead of wasting time and money on this watch the original instead.

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...

Chain Letter (2010)

Deon Taylor

With expectations set to a critical low, Chain Letter ended up being a decently proficient film that works best when it stops taking itself so seriously and just lets the audience have fun. The shortcomings are in ample...

Cherry Falls (2000)

Geoffrey Wright

In my opinion this is an underrated slasher that's overlooked due to the fact that it never really made a huge impact when it premiered on the USA network back in 2000. It also might be considered "tame" by...

Christmas Evil (1980)

Lewis Jackson

A decent seasoned horror slasher. If you're into killer Santa flicks, then give this a try. It'll be worth a check around Christmas, but be sure to drink a lot of eggnog before ya watch it.

Club Dread (2004)

Jay Chandrasekhar

A disappointing horror spoof. The funny moments are few and far apart, so we're really just left with an incredibly cliched slasher flick. It does manage to have hot chicks, and decent gore and blood, but that's...

Cold Prey (2006)

Roar Uthaug

A decent slasher from Norway that uses the standard premise, but throws a little realism and an interesting new backdrop. Worth a check if you can get your hands on it.

Cold Prey 3 (2010)

Mikkel Brænne Sandemose

Cold Prey 3 isn't necessary a bad film, in fact, as a standalone it's a pretty decent backwoods slasher. However, when compared to the previous movies it just falls flat, and in many ways. Not recommended unless...

Cold Prey II (2008)

Mats Stenberg

While the first film delivered a very moody and atmospheric slasher, its sequel offers us a great old-school ballsy action-oriented slasher with an intimidating and potentially iconic killer. If you thought the first movie...

Cold Prey III

Awaiting Release

Norwegian

Mikkel Brænne Sandemose

Set in 1976, the film finds the Stehøe mountain hotel on the brink of bankruptcy after several suspicious and bizarre events. Unsure that their son has nothing to do with the inexplicable events, the young couple running the...

Cut (2000)

Kimble Rendall

A good slasher flick that kicks many other recent teen slashers in the nuts. I definitely recommend this movie.

Dead Dudes in the House (1991)

James Riffel

Not a bad low-budget film. The killer granny was creepy and cool. Check this film out if you can.

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...

Death Bell (2008)

Director Chang

The film starts off as a ghost flick, which turns into a semi-torture feature and ends up as a standard who-done-it slasher. It clearly suffers from an identity crises, but still kept me entertained from the start. Check...

Demons Never Die

Awaiting Release

English

Arjun Rose

When Amba takes her own life, Archie Eden and seven other depressed London teenagers decide to follow her lead and create a suicide pact. As the group begins to die one by one, Archie realizes they have all become the target...

Detention

Awaiting Release

English

Joseph Kahn

Story centers on teens who must survive their final year of high school. Standing in their way is a slasher-movie killer who has seemingly come to life.

Dolly Dearest (1991)

Maria Lease

In the end the movie is just another Child's Play ripoff, but a decent one at that. It's cheesy and entertaining for those who can appreciate it for what it is. As far as doll horror goes, this is one of the better...

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...

Freddy vs. Jason (2003)

Ronny Yu

A silly plot, but who cares? It has a lot of good blood and gore and the fights between the two horror icons are pretty damn fun! Personally I would have liked it more, but I'm not much of a Freddy fan, so I couldn...

Friday the 13th (1980)

Sean S. Cunningham

Friday the 13th may have its fair share of flaws, but its entertainment value, along with the place it's created for itself in the genre's history, make this film required viewing for all slasher fans. The uncut...

Friday the 13th 2

Development Hell

English

N/A

No official plot yet, but it will likely take place sometime after the events of the first film.

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...

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...

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...

Grindhouse (2007)

Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino

Grindhouse proved to be a masterful piece of creative filmmaking. From the hilarious faux trailers, the fun-ride that was Planet Terror, and to the funny and true-to-exploitation Death Proof, I enjoyed every minute of the...

Halloween (1978)

John Carpenter

The slasher film that started it all. Inspired by the works of the late-great Alfred Hitchcock, John Carpenter manages to scare the audience without the overuse of gore or pop-up scares. No, he gets the audience by simply...

Halloween (2007)

Rob Zombie

So, is this a good movie? Yes, it is, but is it a good remake? No, it isn't. I saw this film for what it was -- a good slasher, and obviously isn't better than the original. However, it is an interesting take on...

Halloween 3D

In Development

English

Patrick Lussier

No official plot yet.

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)

Dwight H. Little

Halloween 4 is a worthy sequel that went back to the basics that made the original the classic it is today. While the mask was a poor decision, the overall tone and the pants shitting ending made up for the short comings and...

Halloween II (2009)

Rob Zombie

Zombie has turned Halloween into his own entity and delivered one of the most unique (to say the least) entries in the series. Superior to its predecessor on every level, Halloween II consisted of many questionable elements...

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!

Hatchet (2006)

Adam Green

Hatchet is a fun ride, but (much like a ride) once things start moving along, before you know it, it's over. The first half is nothing but dirty jokes and T&A, while the second half is a lot of running in circles...

Hatchet II (2010)

Adam Green

Hatchet II is solely made for fans of the first film who are looking for more of the same blood-drenched, throwback fun. Yeah, it's cheesy and dumb, but it’s also fast, violent, and comes to a screeching halt long...

Hatchet III

Pre-Production

English

BJ McDonnell

No official plot yet, but it will reportedly continue where the previous film left off.

Hell High (1989)

Douglas Grossman

A decent little slasher that breaks the mold of the typical theme we're all used to seeing from the 80's. Worth a check if you can sit through the story, but don't expect a lot of deaths or gore.

Hell Night

In Talks

English

N/A

No official plot yet, but the original told the story of a group of college pledges who are forced to stay the night at a supposedly haunted mansion, where they encounter a deformed killer who picks them off one by one.

Hidden (2009)

Pål Øie

Hidden is a bit too clichéd and overambitious for its own good but it's still a rather suspense full horror flick which deserved to do better than it did at the local box-office. I really hope we get to see a DVD...

High Tension (2003)

Alexandre Aja

A gory surprise. Lots of blood, gore, and excellent tension between the heroine and killer in the flick. I would have given it an 8-rating, but the ending had to ruin it for me. Recommended none-the-less.

Home For the Holidays (1972)

John Llewellyn Moxey

This was decent mystery-thriller that, sadly, didn't age very well. The killer is easily guessed, the acting is overly-dramatic, and the quick-zoomed shots and pointless awkward stares are nothing more than...

I, Madman (1989)

Tibor Takács

A guilty pleasure. Cheesy, but has an interesting and original plot for a slasher flick. Worth a rent.

Intruder (1988)

Scott Spiegel

Personally one of the best slasher films I've seen. There's lots of killing and plenty of gore. Some humor here and there and an interesting twist at the end. I'd recommend this movie to anyone who loves...

Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI (1986)

Tom McLoughlin

Jason Lives is a tricky film to examine because while it doesn't stray too far away from the tired but true slasher formula, it excels behind the camera with a tight script, beyond competent directing, and phenomenal...

Kill Theory (2008)

Chris Moore

A decent film that although has a number of faults, still manages to be entertaining. Despite the lacking story, it offered a change to your standard slasher, which kept me interested. Worth a check if you've got...

Killing Spree (1987)

Tim Ritter

Poorly directed, acted, lame and with a predictable story. Don't waste your time on this crap.

Madman (1981)

Joe Giannone

Not a bad 80s slasher. A few plot holes, but entertaining none-the-less. The madman character was quite interesting and funny at the same time. Check this film out if you're into Friday the 13th wannabes.

Mirage (1990)

Bill Crain

A slow-paced and forgettable Australian slasher that (aside from the setting) offers nothing new to the genre. Skip this.

Mother's Day

Awaiting Release

English

Darren Lynn Bousman

After a bank robbery gone wrong, three brothers head for home, hoping their MOTHER (Rebecca De Mornay) can provide them with a getaway. The youngest brother, JOHNNY (Matt O'Leary), has been shot and their back-stabbing...

My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009)

Patrick Lussier

My Bloody Valentine 3D is not only a successful remake, but an overall great slasher and throwback to the 80's. We're given numerous gory on-screen kills by a cool ballsy villain in glorious 3D! How can you go...

My Super Psycho Sweet 16 (2009)

Jacob Gentry

Perhaps it was due to my extremely low expectations, but MTV’s My Super Psycho Sweet Sixteen turned out to be a surprisingly entertaining slasher with decent deaths and a strong visual style. Sticking too close to the basic...

My Super Psycho Sweet 16: Part 3

Post-Production

English

Jacob Gentry

Skye (Mcknight) prepares to leave for college in New York City in hopes of finally leaving her bloody past behind her. When she gets a ride with fellow freshman Sienna (Reed), they form an instant bond and Skye truly...

Night Warning (1983)

William Asher

This turned out to be a nice little hidden 80's gem. The premise was interesting and dealt with a couple things we didn't see often in the genre. Although not as gory as I'd like, the film did offer a fair...

Phone (2002)

Byeong-ki Ahn

A decent Korean horror film. Kept my interest and had its moments, but don't expect to get any good scares out of this. Worth a check if you're into Asian horror.

Pieces (1982)

Juan Piquer Simón

Even with a great concept, Pieces ended up being just an average low budget early 80s slasher. Worth a watch for its saving graces of ample nudity, great gore moments, and unintentionally hilarious script. It's not a...

Popcorn (1991)

Mark Herrier

You're typical slasher flick. The plot could have been a lot better, but the film itself was fun to watch and that's why I would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a decent slasher.

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...

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...

Rabies

Awaiting Release

Hebrew

Navot Papushado, Aharon Keshales

A brother and sister in their twenties run away from home after their dark secret is discovered. They find temporary refuge in a deserted nature reserve. When the sister falls into a hunting trap, set by a psychotic killer,...

Reeker (2005)

Dave Payne

The movie somehow manages to not only pull off an interesting and entertaining watch, but even adds a semi-original villain in the mix. If you're looking for something fun then be sure to add this to your list of flicks...

Return to Sleepaway Camp (2008)

Robert Hiltzik

The movie takes itself too seriously and unsuccessfully attempts to be as crafty as its predecessor. The kills are creative and it's one of the better 80's interpretations I've seen in a while, but that's...

Run Stranger Run (1973)

Darren McGavin

"Run Stranger Run" ("Happy Mother's Day, Love George" in some markets) is written by veteran Robert Clouse, who went on to write one of my favorite films "The Pack" four years later (Joe...

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...

Savage Weekend (1979)

David Paulsen

One of the crappiest films I've ever seen. A waste of a slasher film, and you don't even realize it's a slasher until 50 minutes into the film. Don't waste your time on this unless you're an aspiring...

Scared (2005)

Tharathorn Siripanwaraporn

Despite the plot-holes and dubious first bits, Scared turned out to be a fun gory slasher. The deaths were surprisingly brutal and creative, which is really the only reason for watching this movie. Worth a check if you want...

Scream (1981)

Byron Quisenberry

A horrible slasher movie. The story is predictable and unoriginal, the killer is a bore, there is nothing positive about this. Avoid!

Scream 4 (2011)

Wes Craven

If you’re a fan of the series, Scream 4 is a smart, cynical, and sometimes brutal reinvention of the franchise. Though not flawless by any means, Williamson and Craven managed to deliver some entertaining slasher goodness,...

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...

Sick Nick

Mark Pavia

House-sitting for the President of the University over Christmas break, Cindy Hart and her college classmates gear up for a crazy night of holiday fun when a massive snowstorm traps them inside without power. Undeterred,...

Silent Madness (1984)

Simon Nuchtern

A forgettable 80's slasher that has its plus and minuses. It throws a couple interesting ideas to the normally bland slasher mold, but also falls victim to predictability and a lack of gore and on-screen kills. 80'...

Sleepaway Camp Reunion 3D

Pre-Production

English

Robert Hiltzik

Mike the original surviving member of the Sleepaway Camp Massacre mysteriously gets invited to a reunion at a closed mountain resort, 25 years later.

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.

Slumber Party Massacre 2 (1987)

Deborah Brock

As entertaining and fun as The Slumber Party Massacre 2 can be to the right audience, there's no way of ignoring the fact that it's a poorly made, uneven late 80s slasher.

Smiley

Post-Production

English

Michael Gallagher

After learning of an urban legend in which a demented serial killer named "Smiley" can be summoned through the Internet, mentally fragile Ashley must decide whether she is losing her mind or becoming Smiley's...

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...

Stitches

Post-Production

English

Conor McMahon

Stitches is the macabre story of Richard 'Stitches' Grindle, a jaded workaday kids' birthday clown, whose one-liners are witty in a way that's just not for kids. Stitches falls victim to a fatal party...

Sweet Sixteen (1983)

Jim Sotos

With the successful blend of a slasher and a horror mystery, this is a surprisingly decent movie. Although it's pretty slow-paced, and the deaths are pretty tame (using only a knife), we get some above-average acting...

Terror Tract (2000)

George P. Cosmatos

The film is very predictable and doesn't deliver much in the blood and guts department, but it's still a fun watch thanks to its interesting stories and hilarious wraparound segment. Check this out.

Thanksgiving

In Development

English

Eli Roth

No official plot yet, but the trailer depicted a killer who murders several people on Thanksgiving.

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 House on Sorority Row (1983)

Mark Rosman

The House on Sorority Row is a stylish, well crafted slasher from the early 80s heyday that’s able to rise above its clichéd material. While it’s by no means overtly bloody or violent, it’s shooting style and impressive...

The Prey (1984)

Edwin Scott Brown

Another rare 80's slasher that follows the formula with less than stellar results. Nothing to new or exciting is offered up, except for the one climbing scene that Wrong Turn blatantly ripped off. Recommended to the 80...

The Record (2001)

Kim Jong Seok

Pretty much a Korean remake of I Know What You Did Last Summer. Had its moments, but wasn't anything special. Don't bother with this.

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...

The Surgeon (1995)

Carl Schenkel

If you're a fan of killer doctor movies then this is your flick! Mindless and cheesy, but highly entertaining for a direct-to-video. Worth a look.

The Tripper (2006)

David Arquette

The comedy and satire fell a bit flat, but as a slasher it was an entertaining watch. Interesting characters, deaths, and a decent amount of blood and guts. Worth a check.

The Vagrant (1992)

Chris Walas

A good fairly unknown horror-comedy, with an interesting premise and a lot of quirky characters. Although predictable, it still manages to be an enjoyable watch. Worth a check.

Tourist Trap (1979)

David Schmoeller

A good original underrated horror film. Check this baby out.

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.

Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000)

John Ottman

Your stereotypical slasher film, nothing new. Don't rent this unless you're into watching the same shit over and over again.

Valentine (2001)

Jamie Blanks

I enjoyed this film, it wasn't very original, but entertaining none-the-less. The killer was easy to guess, though. I recommend any fan of classic slashers to check this movie out.

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.
