Best Slasher Movies

Dorothy Mills is what low budget horror is all about. Some complain the movie was a little slow, but in my honest opinion that was necessary to develop the characters.

Dorothy Mills takes its time getting going, but the payoff is a great movie that doesn’t spend all its time on scares and blood. It makes sure you care about who is bleeding and you’re not just scared because something jumps out of the dark and catches you off guard. You’re scared because you care what happens to the people you’ve grown attached to over the course of the movie.

Probably the best thing about Dorothy Mills is it doesn’t cheap out in the end and give you the ending you were expecting. When they try to explain everything that happened in the movie, its well done and doesn’t seem rushed or pulled together. The plot twists are genuinely surprising and the acting is solid – all for less than a million dollars. Not bad at all.

I can’t get enough of these free zombie games. Way too much fun!

Zombie X is your basic first person shooter, but the graphics are fun and it’s a little challenging. Fire with the mouse and reload with space. Another good time killer.

Zombie Avenger was a necessary addition to this site. It’s a quick fun little game you can play right here on bestslashermovies.com with absolutely no strings attached.

It’s a simple game to play. You aim and fire with your mouse, move with either the ‘w’, ‘a’, ’s’ and ‘d’ keys or the arrow keys. Change your weapon with ‘q’. The weapons are awesome – an AK-47, mini-sub machine and a rocket launcher. My only real complaint with the game is it’s a little too easy, but all in all, a fun game.

Okay, so I liked Yeti: The Curse of the Snow Demon. I might be alone in that, but I liked it all the same, and damn it! I’m not ashamed to admit it.

If you go into a movie with a name like Yeti: The Curse of the Snow Demon looking for a serious, intense watch and then cry that it’s stupid, well, you might want to reconsider what is stupid in this scenario. I couldn’t be more serious about that. This movie screams ridiculous from the title alone. You can rip apart the plot like the Yeti rips apart its victims, but what’s the point? If you spend the entire movie saying, “That wouldn’t happen because…” and “Why wouldn’t they just…” you’re thinking too hard. Stop.

I fail to see how The Unborn garnered such terrible reviews when it really wasn’t a terrible movie at all. This is another great example of people bitching for the sake of bitching, and that’s unfortunate.

First, Gary Oldman (Fifth Element, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight) is great in The Unborn, but it’s my opinion that he’s great in everything. Odette Yustman (Cloverfield) is gorgeous and turned in a believable performance as did the also gorgeous Cam Gigandet (Twilight, Never Back Down). No one’s gonna win any awards for The Unborn, but the performances were strong and there were some good scares. Once again, the dreaded PG-13 rating has robbed us of any real decent gore, but again, sometimes implied gore is more fun.

Okay, so it’s bad. I won’t try to lie to you. The Haunting of Molly Hartley is the same thing we’ve seen a hundred times and the scares are few and far between… yet, I found myself oddly engrossed by it.

I had only mild curiosity in seeing it in the first place. Chase Crawford and AnnaLynn McCord aren’t exactly big draws for me, but I said to myself, ‘Slasherella, that’s just not fair of you. Give it a chance.’ So when it showed up in the house I put it in. Why not? I got what I expected. A mildly entertaining little film that didn’t even have good gore on its side. That said, I couldn’t look away. I wanted to. I really did, but it grabbed my attention and kept it to the end.

Was it good? Not really. Was it unique? Far from it. Was it entertaining? I suppose. Was it at least bloody? Sadly, not really. But I watched it all the same. I guess somewhere in the dark recesses of my mind, on some level, I must’ve liked it. Maybe you will too.

I’m not sure how I managed to overlook Dead Silence for so long considering it’s directed by James Wan who also co-wrote it with Leigh Whannell; the demeted duo that brought us Saw. Somehow, though, Dead Silence slipped completely under my radar which is sad as when I finally did see it, I was upset with myself for not seeing it sooner.

It would’ve been easy for Wan and Whannell to produce a Saw clone after the success of the first movie and while the theme of creepy dolls is carried on in Dead Silence, don’t watch it excepting another Saw sequel. It’s very unique in that it doesn’t rely as much on the gore (although there are some especially gory scenes) but focuses more on creating genuinely scary villains and a creepy atmosphere.

A killer croc munching on tourists. I have to say, I love the premise and Rogue delivers, even if it does go a little lite on the gore.

Rogue is suspenseful and really succeeds most because of the decision to keep the croc hidden for most of the movie. We see glimpses of what’s lurking in the water, but by keeping it out of sight for the most part, the viewer is allowed to use their imagination.

Of course Rogue is doomed to be compared to Jaws and Lake Placid and in all honesty, it doesn’t fair well in either case, but on its own, Rogue is a great film. Watch it without preconceptions and you won’t be disappointed.

30 Days of Night doesn’t break any new ground as far as vampire movies go but that’s not to say it isn’t a great movie. It gets you from the beginning; setting the scene for exactly how isolated and desolate this little town in Alaska really is. From there, the movie has you in its grip and doesn’t let go.

The thing about 30 Days of Night is that if you let go of the fact that vampires aren’t real, it’s a very believable movie. The cast, led by Josh Hartnett, does an amazing job of convincing you they’re scared for their lives and horrified by what they’re witnessing.

The cheese-factor is surprisingly low for a vampire movie and is without the typical attempts at humor from a wise-cracking hero which seem to have become a staple in vampire movies. The vampires themselves aren’t completely original, but are truly frightening and actually behave like the creatures they are instead of humans with pointy teeth and a thirst for blood.
