Terrific little documentary, made exclusively for Cable TV which traces the evolution of the slasher subgenre. It is informative and entertaining. In the documentary, you will see most of the directors associated with these kinds of films talk about how they really feel about this much-maligned movie subgenre. You will also see endless clips of the most popular and interesting slashers film of the 1970s, 1980s and beyond (anything from "When a Stranger Calls," "Prom Night" and "Pieces," to "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Scream"). The program addresses the claims that this type of movie is inherently misogynist and amoral. For example, the film shows parts of an old 'Siskel & Ebert' program that was dedicated to belittle the slasher subgenre; this is another example of the rampant elitism in film criticism. Not long ago, neo-con puppet Bill O'Reilly said that only sick people would want to see movies like "Saw" and "Hills Have Eyes," and his comments reminded me that there are still people out-there who simply do not get it. What I like about this documentary is that it does not preach but explains why slashers appeal to a vast majority of horror aficionados. The documentary does omit a few important titles, but overall, this is an effective dissection (no pun intended) of a type of film. Highly recommended to horror fans.
