		<description><![CDATA[The students of Lanier College have more than exams to worry about. A slasher armed with a butcher knife is stalking the corridors of academia. Only the survivors get to exempt this test. Final Exam could have been just another generic campus slasher but is saved by bizarre camera angles, an oddball but loveable cast, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Romano Scavolini&#8217;s Nightmare was one of the most notorious of all the slasher films to emerge in the eighties. Distributed in the United Kingdom under the more infamous moniker Nightmare in a Damaged Brain, the film eventually fell foul of the Video Recordings Act 1984 and found its way onto the &#8216;video nasty&#8217; list.

		<description><![CDATA[Outside the obvious franchises (Halloween, Friday the 13th, etc.), perhaps the most beloved slasher of the early eighties was the Canadian thriller My Bloody Valentine, a claustrophobic gorefest that, despite being heavily censored by the MPAA, still became a huge hit with the splatter fans. Boasting the key elements that would make an effective slasher [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of all the lost-in-the-wilderness slashers to appear in the early eighties (which would include The Final Terror and The Forest), Jeff Lieberman&#8217;s backwards thriller Just Before Dawn was arguable the most beautifully shot and well crafted, perfectly capturing the deadly beauty of the Oregon mountains. Having previously helmed the nature-run-amok flick Squirm, Lieberman had been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With so many slashers being released between 1980 and 1982, there were countless films that fail to receive the recognition they deserved. Whilst hardly the masterpiece that Halloween was, Jimmy Huston&#8217;s 1981 campus thriller Final Exam was an above average effort which benefited from an atmospheric score and impressive use of shadows. The story may [...]]]></description>

His mini-series Salem&#8217;s Lot had given him some credibility back but he was desperate for another hit to revive [...]]]></description>

Few can argue that Herb Freed&#8217;s 1981 effort [...]]]></description>
