Put in spoiler tags why in the blue fuck you don't consider it a slasher? Jason has the worst taste on the board so his blabbering of "psychological thriller" (which it is as well) doesn't bother me, you are now bothering me! will it bother you less if we argue about it and i don't change my mind on the categorization? why can't we just agree that it's awesome horror? Wat? Arguing is what I do best, zombs. Nah, I called you out first as being my Haute Tension brother and then later got even more love. Jason being the only dickface to rag on it. But I honestly just want to know why you don't consider it a slasher. I think this is in the vein of Maniac as not the purest of one, but to me, come the fuck on?

italy gives it a run for the money (and canada if you wanna count that as foreign) but it's a damn fine almost slasher. so his blabbering of "psychological thriller" (which it is as well) Lol.

Click to View...}the main character is also the killer, and that takes away from the slasher feel for me.

The reveal was iffy, shit like that has been done before, but still enjoyable. It's still not better than Madman and shit. 9/10 movies on your list probably would've made my top ten.

So when we have to rewind back and know she is doing all of it, and even shows some of it... She stalked and sliced and diced this family. Others beyond the farm. Concrete Saw to the fucking face! I get it, she wasn't a slasher at all, just misunderstood.

Izzit like NOTLD supposed to be flesh eaters and not zombies, or summat? no night of the living dead is a zombie movie. they probably wanted to use flesh eaters to differentiate it from the earlier zombie movies, which were not anything like they are now. i'll say that psycho is a proto-slasher. but you did catch me in a little bit of a bind, admittedly, cause i do consider psycho 3 to be a slasher.

Yes. I don't like Psycho, however, so hence not on list.
