Slasher Films

Perhaps the most rigidly structured of horrors the Slasher is rarely one to stray far from it's Grindhouse doorstep & Giallo colored roots. It is here that psychopathic killers, isolated cabins, poor cell phone reception & barely clothed ‘final girls’ abound. The ancestral home of misunderstood notables the likes of Jack Torrance, Jason Voorhees, Leatherface, Chucky, Jigsaw and Asami Yamazaki.

Although undeniably a controversial mixing pot of drugs, gratuitous nudity, extreme violence & scant subtext it is nonetheless a sub-genre that has produced some of horror cinemas most iconic imagery to date.
