An overall pretty good film about the slasher genre, 25 June 2008
7/10
Author: Moviefreak4653 from United States

I gotta say that it was a real treat to see more into the slasher genre(probably my favorite genre in the horror category), so it was cool to see clips and interviews about the films I've seen and have wanted to see.It was also cool seeing interviews from Fellisa Rose(Angela from Sleepaway Camp), and directors also.I was glad to see some stuff about the Controversy about these films and how its ridicules to begin with.However I felt some stuff was rushed in, and why didn't they talk more about the golden age of slasher films, like why the hell didn't they talk about Black Christmas, or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, or even Suspiria.So I felt some stuff to be rushed in to fast.Also being a huge fan of Scream, I felt they didn't talk about it to much and how important it was to slasher cinema, or even Nightmare On Elm Street, and what about Childs Play?Also I felt why did they waste so much time talking mainly about Friday The 13th and Halloween, don't get me wrong I love both of those films.My last statement was they should have just totally made it longer, to actually talk about the history of the slasher genre.Overall its cool and good, but I honestly thought Me and a bunch of other slasher fans could have made a better documentary, but its still a treat to see.
