Retro Slashers

Like My Bloody Valentine 3D, the House On Sorority Row redux is one I’m interested in. The original is my absolute favorite retro slasher, but my eyes are not clouded by unmatchable nostalgia here. The title has been shortened to simply Sorority Row, hopefully the film won’t carry the usual remake stigma. A pretty big [...]

Thanks to youtube user AustralianRoadshow for the vid. Don’t forget, Romano Scavolini’s preferred cut of Nightmare is coming to DVD (with extras) from Code Red in the future! More news as it develops.

An Unrated edition of Wes Craven’s Last House On The Left is hitting DVD on Feb 24th from MGM. Presumably it should have coincided with the redux but the release date for that is in limbo, so here we are. The extras contain some cool new shit.

Beautiful do-gooder Julia (Trish Everly) and her insane, hideously deformed twin sister Mary (Allison Biggers) have a hard time occupying the same room, let alone the same town, without Mary either brandishing a [...]

I love the internets. You get to see things you ordinarily just wouldn’t be exposed to. Such as, this BBC documentary on the US slasher film. They have some pretty high profile interviewees, and take some alternative angles on some of the most well-known titles in the subgenre. Here’s part one on the embed above, [...]
