i think most people know how i think ..
i grew up on them and learned to hate them..
specifically 1980s american slashers.
cookie cutter 'plot', poor acting from minor soap opera
'stars', shit music, dark, impossible to see anything cinematography, total lack of imagination and creativity.
i still dig a lot of the giallo/slashers, and the one or 2 outstanding ones (halloween, black christmas) but i think that for the most part the slasher movie cost the horror genre a lot of respectability... (combined with the home video explosion of the 80's)
