Author: insomniac_rod from Noctropolis

A really interesting study on the Slasher sub-genre but lacks on profundity on the investigation field.

It clearly skips some important movies like "Black Christmas" or "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" because it doesn't gives the respect to them. But that's just my opinion.

The featured movies are really well chosen although more footage would be great. Still, this is a movie recommended ONLY FOR FANS of 80's slashers. If you are looking for more interesting Horror movies, look elsewhere.

As a fan of 80's Horror I truly enjoyed the movie because I grew up with Jason and company.

It was also a great detail to show interviews from important Horror icons from the time such as John Carpenter, Wes Craven, and Sean S. Cunningham.
