        A good watch but it's almost just a commercial for the genre. They get into the history of how people were against the slasher flicks when they were coming out but there was no one to talk about the other side of the situation. It's a very one sided doc. This is one for the fans of the genre, by fans of the genre.

        If you're looking for a simple and informative documentary on the history of the slasher flick, this is a good film to see.

        Simply a great and entertaining history and survey of slasher films throughout the years. It made me want to check out some I'd never seen and rewatch others. One problem I had with it is that it completely leaves out Bob Clark's Black Christmas, that definitely had a large influence on the slasher genre... for shame.

        Brilliant documentary about the history of slasher films as told by John Carpenter, Wes Craven, makeup artist Tom Savini, and various actors and filmmakers of the horror genre. If you're a horror enthusiast, this is a must see.
