This historical and critical look at slasher films, which includes dozens of clips, begins with "Halloween," "Friday the 13th," and "Prom Night." The films' directors, writers, producers, and special effects creators comment on the films' making and success. During the Reagan years, the films get gorier, budgets get smaller, and their appeal wanes. Then, "Nightmare on Elm Street" revives the genre. Jump to the late 90s, when "Scream" brings humor and TV stars into the mix. Although some criticize the genre as misogynistic (Siskel and Ebert), most of the talking heads celebrate the films: as long as there are teenagers, there will be slasher films, says one.

User Review - 10/10 by Sarah FIf you are a fan of the slasher genre, this is a very interesting documentary. It features some of the best in the business, Craven, Carpenter, Cunningham, Nicotero, and even the king of gore Tom Savini.
User Review - 10/10 by Amanda UReally interesting and insightful look at the history of slasher films and the genre and what it has gone through. ONe of my all time favotite documentaries
User Review - 10/10 by dylan sThis documentary rocks. It gives you a complete history of slasher films since they arose back around Black Christmas days and even brings us into the late 90s. It also gave me a whole new list of films to see, no matter how shitty they may be. The filmmakers got all the bests to speak on the slashers' behalf and there's a lot of insight to it all. We all know I want to make movies and this pushed that want even further by giving us an inside look into one of my favorite horror genres this side of zombies.
User Review - 10/10 by Dayna NGoing To Pieces"The rise and Fall of the Slasher" This is a MUST HAVE for any Slasher,Horror or Gore hound. It traces the controversial roots of the Slasher all the while showing interviews with Horror icons ,Make up artists,directors etc,. It also shows some of the best and goriest scenes form some of the best slasher flicks from the 60's to the present. I have watched it so many times and each time I see something new that I missed the first time,it also pays special attention to the films that have become classics and discusses the reasons why they are so endeared and have stood the test of time. It's the best compilation of horror gore clips I have ever seen in one movie.
