"Troublesome Night"

Hmmmmm nice title! I'm sure it's only funny because of the translation though.

well you know what I mean, they ALL sucked after the first one so actually I guess that isn't a brilliant idea.

I know whayt you mean though. i dont care fo r slashers.

outside of Halloween(I liked 'em all up until H20 which I did find mildly entertaining), Nightmare on Elm Street(besides one and New Nightmare they all kinda suck as horror films but I still like 'em because they're entertaining) and Friday the 13th(first one only)

For the most part all other slashers can go to hell. I mainly prefer psychological horror-Silence of the Lambs,Se7en,Manhunter ect.

Nightmare on Elm Street wasnt a slasher .. despite Freddies finger knives ..

Its really more of a monster/ghost story... way more creative than a slasher ..

the first one was brilliant ...

I guess you're right, he was dead and only in their dreams also he didn't just walk around...well...slashing, so it is a ghost story.

it doesn knid of fit the genre though.

Human or semi human pathological killer murders teenage victims onbe at a time.

However, calling it a ghost story leaves a better taste in my mouth.

it has simularities (dead teenagers) but the structure and excecution it a lot more complex than a standard slasher ..

there were a lot of stand out moments you wont find in a slasher ... all the dream sequence stuff ...not knowing when you were asleep or not, etc ...

At least you didnt say Dog Soldiers was a slasher....

Dog Soilders a slasher :confused: who said that? that was an all around werewolf.

I think the misconception is that just because there's "slashing" in the movie, it doesn't make it a slasher.

Dog Soldiers was an action flick more than anything...
