Dad's Genre Lists -
Slasher/Splatter Horror Films
These are my top films for the
Slasher/Splatter
Horror sub-genre. Enjoy!
Slasher Horror
features a psychopathic killer, often masked, who stalks and
graphically murders a group of young people, typically
teenagers, using bladed weapons. These films rely on
suspense and graphic violence, and often explore themes of
revenge, trauma, and societal punishment.
Splatter Horror (aka Torture Porn) explores the concept of
human mortality and displays a fascination with the
theatricality of mutilation along with the vulnerability of
the human body. It revels in gore as an art form and is
generally characterized by choppy camerawork and usually
narrative work that is non-continuous and lacking a coherent
plot.
