I agree about Laid to Rest... I consider it a throwback slasher (with a modern setting) and I thought it was fantastic. Been meaning to check it out again since the sequel just came out.

I thought that Hatchet was overrated but do consider it a throwback, though it seems at times to be trying too hard.

House of the Devil is a quintessential throwback movie to me - I thought it was brilliant and definitely caught an entire era - It's occult and not slasher, though.
