A celebration of slasher cinema - from PSYCHO to the present day, with a focus on highlighting many of the genre's forgotten cult classics, deconstructing how to survive a slice and dice movie and meditating upon why it is almost always a final girl and rarely a final guy... this is a documentary which is designed for both the biggest fan of "mad maniac" movies and the person who may only have seen HALLOWEEN and SCREAM. Either way, this is a documentary that proves the SLASHER FILM is truly FOREVER!

Then there's Freddie Cooper and his band, FREDDIE AND THE GOBLINS; a tale of how Freddie's band mates try to kick him out and get caught up in the young singer's growing psychosis. With his hopes of selling the house fading, John is horrified to hear the story of Robbie, a young veteran of the war in Iraq, who returns home to live with his father Brad in FATHER LAND. Something isn't right, though, as Robbie's dark secret slowly bubbles to the surface. As the house's dark past comes to life, John becomes weary and is convinced the house is cursed and unsellable.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I managed to see this superb slasher documentary at the GFT in Glasgow where it played with Scott Spiegel's Intruder. The documentary produced by High Rising Productions covers slasher titles from Psycho right through to recent titles like the Maniac remake starring Elijah Wood. People familiar with High Rising's work on Arrow Video titles like Zombie Flesh Eaters, City of the Living Dead and Day of the Dead will not be disappointed with this treasure of a documentary. The doc features interviews with the likes of Corey Feldman, Tobe Hooper, Norman Warren, James Moran, Tom Holland & Mick Garris to name a few discussing the genesis of the slasher genre, the rules of the genre & the final girl.The work is clearly a labour of love for the High Rising team who made the documentary with no budget whilst working on special features for some of the many horror films they have worked on in recent years. The animation work between interviewee's and the subject matter covered is fantastic as is the music by the Acid Fascists in the title and end credits.Having been well received at film festivals around the globe the documentary is due to be released in May by 88 Films in the UK and has a plethora of extras. This is a must buy for all horror fan's! DISC 1: Feature Film Special Features: *Audio commentary with director/ producer Calum Waddell moderated by Justin Kerswell, author of Teenage Wasteland: The Slasher Movie Uncut *Additional 'outtake' interviews featuring Corey Feldman, Felissa Rose, J.S. Cardone, Kevin Tenney and more *Post-screening audience Question and Answer session from the Glasgow Film Theatre featuring Slice and Dice interviewees James Moran and Norman J.

I don't get the negative review and can only imagine that it was written by somebody who hasn't seen the film and has cast only a cursory glance over the synopsis. All of the interviewees have direct connections to movies featured in the documentary. Slice And Dice is an entertaining and informative film which skips along at a fair pace and the interviewees come across as enjoying themselves. And there were a few films mentioned which I hadn't seen, so had to seek out after the screening. A great addition for anyone with even a passing interest in horror movies.

Wherfore art thou? How is it possible to do a documentary on slasher films without their presence? No Kane Hodder? No Robert Englund? And those guys will appear in ANYTHING! Without the participation of the 'movers and shakers' who defined these films, all you're left with is a constant stream of people who's (for the most part) only relation to the films is the same as you or I. They watched them.For a more thorough examination of the genre I'd recommend 'Gone To Pieces' - not without it's faults but at least it strives to do something to place the films within the context of the times. Please god, won't somebody make this man stop.....

I was one of the lucky few who managed to get a sneak preview of this brilliant documentary. As soon as it starts it has you captivated as it churns out classic after classic of a Genre that has been scaring us for years. The interviews are done superbly and as Ash has already said it is almost like you are sitting there with them. The interview with Corey Feldman is one of my personal favourites having grown up with a lot of his movies and after all he is the boy who kicked Jason's butt. All the classic movies are represented in this well structured and well directed trip down memory lane. The soundtrack is also brilliant and gels in nicely to the documentary.This is highly recommended and if you haven't already seen it rush to buy the DVD when it is out as you won't be disappointed.All in all Brilliant job by Calum and his team.
