| Let's not forget the godfather of Gore, Herschell Gordon Lewis, who made in 1963 a budget-less movie titled Blood Feast. It's a terrible movie but at some point it reaches the kind of naive beauty of some silent movies...
The totaly odd Bad Taste and the hillarious Brain Dead from our friend Peter "LotR" Jackson are also pretty impressive for over the top gore action (nothing like killing zombies with a landmower...).
But these are more "gore" movies than slashers if under this label we put movies where the plot is centered on some random screaming people fighting one killer. Fitting that category I enjoy the self-reflexive Wes Craven's New Nightmare where the actors are haunted by the characters they played in Nightmare on Elm Street... |
