Storyline

A celebration of slasher cinema - from PSYCHO to the present day, with a focus on highlighting many of the genre's forgotten cult classics, deconstructing how to survive a slice and dice movie and meditating upon why it is almost always a final girl and rarely a final guy... this is a documentary which is designed for both the biggest fan of "mad maniac" movies and the person who may only have seen HALLOWEEN and SCREAM. Either way, this is a documentary that proves the SLASHER FILM is truly FOREVER!

Outstanding documentary on the Slasher genre

I managed to see this superb slasher documentary at the GFT in Glasgow where it played with Scott Spiegel's Intruder. The documentary produced by High Rising Productions covers slasher titles from Psycho right through to recent titles like the Maniac remake starring Elijah Wood.

People familiar with High Rising's work on Arrow Video titles like Zombie Flesh Eaters, City of the Living Dead and Day of the Dead will not be disappointed with this treasure of a documentary. The doc features interviews with the likes of Corey Feldman, Tobe Hooper, Norman Warren, James Moran, Tom Holland & Mick Garris to name a few discussing the genesis of the slasher genre, the rules of the genre & the final girl.

The work is clearly a labour of love for the High Rising team who made the documentary with no budget whilst working on special features for some of the many horror films they have worked on in recent years. The animation work between interviewee's and the subject matter covered is fantastic as is the music by the Acid Fascists in the title and end credits.

Having been well received at film festivals around the globe the documentary is due to be released in May by 88 Films in the UK and has a plethora of extras. This is a must buy for all horror fan's!
