Are Slasher's "Acting"?
 

Being an actor, emotions are the hardest thing to portray, and most of the challenge of acting comes from that. Now, you are portraying a totally emotionless killer....You walk around with a knife, do some occaisonal stunts....Whoop-dee-dooo. Sure, the character is kool....but not bacause of the actor, beacause of the writers, and the costume


There are exceptions, Im not adressing all slashers (Robert Englund is very talented as Freddy), Im mostly talking about the silent, emotionless killers, Jason and Micheal being the most prominent.


As stuntmen, some are very, very talented. But how does that count as acting? Are stuntmen credited under "Cast"? Nope. Why? Cause they arent acting.


Please keep this to a respectable debate, If you disagree, please state why.

michael cryed in part 5

Ok, I havnt seen it....I might get to soon though


Was he actually crying, like emotionly, or were there just tears streaming down his mask?

his neice (jamie lloyd) was cornered by him she asked to see his face michael pulled the mask off and put his head down then she said "just like me" and it zoomed into one of michael's eyes and a tear began to roll down he put the mask back on and began to swing the knife around

Well Ill be damned!! I mightget to renting some more Halloween....my Dad said I could, cause he let me see the 2st, so Ill grab some, especially #5!

part 4 a dude gets his face ripped off

It wont top the face ripping in Poltergiest....

oh on part 6 when michael kills jamie he jams her on farm machinery before jamie is killed she holds her hands out for michael to give her a hug michael slowly reached his hands out then he suddenly pushes her down further


he almost hugged her thats showing emotion

Ok, ok....


Now we just need to get a Jason fan in here.....O F13F, where art thou?

KK's pretty big on Jason, too, isnt he??

Who can forget the infamous head tilt in Halloween? If anyone can't act, it's the one-dimensional teenagers who they kill (read: Rowland, Kelly).
