Slasher films..

Personally, I highly enjoy slasher films. Yes, I'll admit, they aren't always great filmmaking, but they just personally entertain me. I even love the sequels.

My top 5 slasher films:

1. A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master
2. A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child
3. Prom Night (1980 version, the remake sucked.)
4. Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
5. Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers

Odd choices, even for those of you who enjoy slasher flicks.

So, what are your thoughts on slasher films, and for those of you who enjoy them, what are your favorites?

I am kinda into slasher flicks myself.

1. Halloween

2. Nightmare on Elm Street

3. Scream

4. Child's play(This counts as a "Slasher" flick right. I get confused with "Slasher" and "Horror"0

I hate slasher films, to be honest. To me, they're gross and scary, and they make me lose my appetite, along with any other horror film out there.

I don't like them. The plot and such doesn't interest me at all, though it does some folks. As long as I don't have to watch them, that is ok. There is some for the folks that do. I don't find them scary, just a genre that doesn't interest me.

Sorry, not really my genre

Bump.

Other slasher movies I'm a big fan of:

The Final Destination trilogy (At least I consider them slashers.)
The Sleepaway Camp series.
Terror Train
Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

I really can't stand slasher films... too gory.

I hate slasher films. Too much blood and not enough plot.

And 1 last statement: I see enough gore as an EMT!

Don't like slasher films. I like my films to have plot, and not an obscenely high body count..

I agree with that!

That's why decent slasher films are so hard to come across. Not enough plot and too many stupid characters

I also hate slasher flicks. The only one I ever really liked was the original Halloween, and that was because intelligent thought was actually put into it.

Noname · **Reply #13 on:** June 25, 2009, 05:48:43 PM

To be fair, Scream wasn't so bad.

Friday The 13th
Scream
The Blair Witch Project
Halloween
Nightmare On Elm Street
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Psycho!
Hellraiser
Sleepaway Camp
Terror Train
Prom Night
This also includes the sequels or remakes. A couple of movies didn't get remade Terror Train and The Blair Witch Project.

Just let everyone know my list is ten times longer than this without adding sequels/remakes though.

I hate the basic slasher genre, but some original movies I thought make good horror movies in my opinion:

Halloween (+H20)
Scream (saw only 1 & 2)

These movies had a good storyline to them, but when some movies end up with more than 3 sequels, it seriously takes away my interest. I just don't like the senseless surreal gore in movies.

More of my favs:

Urban Legend and Urban Legends: Final Cut (Very good whodunit slashers)
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors
April Fool's Day

My post will be very short. I just don't like slasher films.

Understood. I'm not trying to force you to like them or anything.
