Santa Slasher
Hard to see what all the fuss was about by today's standards but suppose it was a bit shocking for '84. The film does look really dated now and is just unintentionally funny rather than scary or gruesome. A very poor film with cheap effects, bad acting and little plot. The good things are the typical 80's slasher feel to it, a few inventive kills. Hard to think it got 4 sequels!

Very amateur Slasher
Stumbled across this on Amazon low budget UK slasher film that tries to capture the 80's Horror vibe. Obviously influenced by Friday the 13th mainly. Some of the ideas are OK, the score was good and Killer mask wasn't bad. Unfortunately as with most basic budget films the execution is poor. Bad acting, poor almost non-existent plot, cheap effects really make it one to miss.

Refreshingly original
Brings a refreshing change to the slasher genre. Very cool film, quite gory and the first time you see it you just think.......What on earth is going on!?

A very poor British attempt at a Slasher film. It's not scary or gory and the acting was not very good. Only the location was the only interesting thing about this.

Slasher
Based on the amount of backpackers who vanish in Australia this is a slash them up survival horror done better than most and works due to it being so believable.

An ok low budget film, thought might be a slasher but more of a ghost story. Billie Piper's first major film role. Far from great but far worse on Amazon Prime.

Sets the 80's Horror video well (0 more)
Retro Horror short
A mini Horror film at around 50 minutes long. Made to feel like you are watching an old 80's Horror video complete with VHS style trailers and warnings. Does well in setting the low budget horror vibe. Not much of a plot, much the same as the old slasher films. It's not that bad if you like Slasher films and don't mind low budget stuff, nothing special though.

A Carpenter Masterpiece
With an excellent eerie score, chilling suspenseful tone, realistic grounded acting, unforgettable quotable dialog, and genius inventive camera work. John Carpenter's classic slasher about a boogeyman possessed escaped inmate stalking babysitters on All Hallows Eve has been a huge inspiration for slasher films in generally. Not mention it spawned 7 sequels, a remake with a sequel, and a reboot. But after all these years John Carpenter's original Halloween still stands tall above the rest. A masterpiece!
