Camp Slaughter: this is how you capture the spirit of 80s slashers
I really cannot BELIEVE that I’ve seen this 2005 movie TRASHED by those who claim it completely fails in doing justice to the 80s slasher tradition. These people either didn’t grow up on 80s slashers, or don’t remember the 80s. … Continue reading

Death Valley: He’ll shoot your eye out!
In 1982, a year before A Christmas Story was released, our beloved Ralphie starred in a 1980s slasher—as “the final girl.” Yep. Death Valley is a road trip slasher flick in which the killer is predominantly stalking a little boy. … Continue reading
When The Car collides with Road Games, you get Creep Van!
It feels like the 1977 killer car movie The Car was the inspiration for Creep Van, which is a total homage to the 1970s, from the music references and “pulp” feel of the picture quality to the concept of a … Continue reading
Severance: when good backwoods slashers take a wrong turn
The premise of the 2006 comedy horror Severance is pretty straightforward: a busload of employees from a huge weapons company head into the mountains on a business retreat and are then picked off in brutal and gory ways. The quirky … Continue reading
