MY TOP FIVE FAVORITE SLASHER MOVIES

I'm a big fan of Abel Ferrara. He's raw, strange, cheap, darkly humorous, and loud. The first thing you see in this movie is: THIS FILM SHOULD BE PLAYED LOUD, which I abide by. Since this film is an early slasher film, it's a very different kind of slasher film. The film follows the killer as he descends into madness through the streets of scummy crime ridden 1970's New York City. I love the post-apocalyptic look of 1970's New York and very few movies capture that. Troma's Combat Shock is another movie that perfectly captures the horribleness of 1970's New York. I can not recommend this movie any higher. I found the whole movie on youtube, which is below. There is no reason not to watch it.

4.) My Bloody Valentine (1981) Directed by George Mihalka

This is the best non-Franchise 1980's slasher film. If you want to start watching slasher films, I suggest the Friday the 13th films and My Bloody Valentine. This film is the perfect slasher film gateway. It's full of interesting enough characters, awesome death scenes, and great atmosphere. Even the 3D remake wasn't that bad, but I suggest the original first.

3.) Friday the 13th (1980) Directed by Sean S. Cunningham
This is one of the most important slashers movies of all time. Also my favorite movie franchise. I watch these film over and over again as a kid. But today, I realize the true importance of the first film. This film made violent deaths in movies famous. This movie is the reason I like slasher films. Bored Now.
Instead of a trailer, here is a shitty Fan Film.
