to answer your threads question, no the slashers aren't acting. its all real. what you think is just a common movie is actually a high quality "snuff" film. think about it..... why do you think you hardly if ever see those actors in other movies?????? they appear in a slasher flick and are never seen again. just think about it. mannnnnnnn thinkkkkkk ffs

I dont think it is TOO correct to give jason or michael's actors a great deal of credit. They were low budget movies, and the guys who go tthe roles did repeatedly because of ties to the director, not any degree of talent. Although the stories behind them might be complex, Michael and Jason themselves are very 1 dimensional.


Good call on Kevin Peter Hall. he made his characters LIVE. For that matter, the guy in the creature costume in Alien did an excellent job. Im not knocking the other two guys, but when the character is devoid of any emoition or personality, its just not asking much of the actor.

On the other end of the scale, take a killer who has deep feelings and beliefs tied to his murders, for example, John Doe. NOBODY but kevin Spacey could have pulled that character off like that.


"Only in a world this sick could you call these people "innocent" with a striaght face...."

He had HATE. The other guys have motivation, but for Jason, you have to see the first couple of movies toget it, and with Michael, well, we're lucky Donald Pleasance kept coming back.

But the point is.....THEY DONT CONVEY ANY SORT OF EMOTION

Very very true, Kevin Spacey was amazing in that role, very talented actor

Have you seen the extended version of Friday the 13th part ????: Jason Takes Manhatten???

Theres a lovely scene where Jason carries a headless corpse to the front of a boat and recreates the famous scene from Titanic. Such emotion shown.

Gets a bit messy when he carries the corpse to an empty car to make love to it.

Not since Se7en and The Usual Suspects... he isnt exactly over-used, but he is certainly not underrated.
