A 90's throwback blast from the past I hadn't seen in a very longtime. Looking at it now it's a fairly formulaic slasher movie that wouldn't have been made if writer Kevin Williamson hadn't had a huge hit with Scream the year before. It has some fun moments but is light on any real scares. I had forgotten how easy on the eye Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar were though so I was largely kept entertained throughout.

A nice surprise!
A surprising good Horror film that is definitely different to the normal Slasher. A small group hire an old barn in a remote area to make an adult film. The old couple on the farm find out which lead to a series of events to unfold.
For a low budget indie film it was really good, creepy, sinister, with good gore effects as well. A prequel Film Pearl was made at same time.

Well it was far from great, it sounds like a slasher but it was more like a thriller. It doesn't have many deaths, not the greatest plot, very predictable without much reasoning for the motive. At times it was even more like an erotic thriller. It looks very dated as well for '95, looking a good 10 years older than that, a lot of use of smoke machines here. Overall a funny, odd cheesy film for a late night when nothing else is on.

A decent straight to DVD thriller/horror as a young woman recounts the events on a small island over a weekend, which led to the deaths of her friends. There are a few familiar faces in this, and the production value is pretty good for a low budget film. It has a decent plot with a few, fairly predictable twists, but still enjoyable fun nevertheless. More thriller than blood n guts horror, but it kinda just makes it into the slasher category. Check it out!

Oddball Comedy Horror
A rather oddball Comedy Horror Polish film on Netflix. Definitely not a horror in the sense of a Slasher film. Detectives arrive the at a house the morning after a New Year's Eve party to find nearly everyone dead. Then we get taken back to the start of the party. Funny in some places, but just really over the top, silly film. Something different but not necessarily all good. Most will probably love it or hate it.

With anethor remake coming out this friday, and that i already reviewed the 2006 remake. In going back to the oringal, were it alll started from. So lets take a little trip back to 1974.

Inspired by the urban legend "The babysitter and the man upstairs" and a series of murders that took place in the Westmount section of Montreal, Quebec, Moore wrote the screenplay under the title Stop Me.

The Plot: As winter break begins, a group of sorority sisters, including Jess (Olivia Hussey) and the often inebriated Barb (Margot Kidder), begin to receive anonymous, lascivious phone calls. Initially, Barb eggs the caller on, but stops when he responds threateningly. Soon, Barb's friend Claire (Lynne Griffin) goes missing from the sorority house, and a local adolescent girl is murdered, leading the girls to suspect a serial killer is on the loose. But no one realizes just how near the culprit is.

Margot Kidder remembered shooting the film as being "fun. I really bonded with Andrea Martin, filming in Toronto and Ontario. Olivia Hussey was a bit of an odd one. She was obsessed with the idea of falling in love with Paul McCartney through her psychic. We were a little hard on her for things like that.

Black Christmas eventually gained a cult following and is notable for being one of the earliest slasher films. It went on to inspire other slasher films, the biggest one of all being John Carpenter's Halloween (which was apparently inspired by Clark suggesting what a Black Christmas sequel would be like).

Black Christmas has been included multiple lists in various media outlets as one of the greatest horror films ever made. The film ranked No. 87 on Bravo's The 100 Scariest Movie Moments.

A overall classic slasher horror movie based around a hoilday.
