3/5
best-suited for someone who'd not only never seen a horror movie but who'd never even heard of such a thing. His mind would be blown. Go to Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena 01/29/2007
3/5
Como antologia dos grandes momentos do gênero até funciona, mas sua análise sobre as questões temáticas e sociais é pedestre, a montagem falha em sua cronologia e %u2013 o maior pecado %u2013 ignora filmes seminais como Dementia 13. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jimmy P 01/20/2023 This thing isn't very good. It is surface level information. See more 11/25/2015 Intéressant, mais la réalisation est dégueulasse et la musique insupportable. Entrevues cools avec tous les grands noms de l'horreur. See more 10/14/2015 Great celebration of a great sub-genre. See more 01/19/2014 Solid film talking about the evolution of the slasher and reflecting on how it is now. See more 02/04/2013 A fun documentary detailing "the rise and fall" then the slight rise of slasher films! It's a great look back and does provide some great information on the genre; but it does feel targeted to those who haven't really been a massive fan as it focusses more on the introduction to history. So if your not an avid horror watcher this could quite easily change your attitude towards the slasher genre. See more 12/23/2012 Helt ok. Slasher är som Mcdonalds, käka det mer än två gånger i månaden och du blir less, en gång i halvåret så är det fantastiskt. See more Read all reviews
