      Jimmy P This thing isn't very good. It is surface level information. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Intéressant, mais la réalisation est dégueulasse et la musique insupportable. Entrevues cools avec tous les grands noms de l'horreur. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Great celebration of a great sub-genre. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review william s Great to see these horror masters talk shop and the history of slasher flicks.Nice walk down memory lane. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Solid film talking about the evolution of the slasher and reflecting on how it is now. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Christopher Null Filmcritic.com 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. Rated: 3/5 Mar 30, 2007 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena 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. Rated: 3/5 Jan 29, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews
