There's just something about the slasher film format. Everyone goes on about how they're all the same and how cheesy they were. But really they straddle every genre from high-end glossy thrillers to pure sleaze, from psycho character study to the supernatural and to pretty much monster movies. One I wish someone would put out on DVD or Blu-ray or something is Night Warning aka Butcher Baker Nightmaremaker. Awesome movie. Fuck you Scream and the kid in hooded jackets that supposedly reinvigorated the genre. Maniac is a slasher movie, even Blood Sisters is a slasher movie. I Don't Care What You did last Summer and the Scream franchise are daytime soaps with the odd murder. They're not even at good at being slasher soaps. And they look piddling compared to the overblown operatic stew of entertaining nonsense that is Happy Birthday to Me. Anyway that's what I think. Reply to this

When I see Chinese or Japanese films on DVD Blu-Ray, i will often watch the film in the English dub but also put on the subtitling as sometimes News Paper headlines and other signs (which can be significant in some Chinese films, like "Fists of Fury' "Sick Men of Asia" sign) are not translated, it is also interesting to see the differences in the dubbing and the subs.

Great discussion about slashers - especially on the subject of grating unrelatable characters in modern horror flicks. My question is how did that particular trend get so prevalent these days? Is it a symptom of lazy writing, or is it a calculated decision by film makers?
It seems to me that because the killers are the reason that people come to these movies, film makers today think they should portray the killers more like protagonists. The natural result of this is making the "victims" as unsympathetic as possible. This (in my opinion) makes a horror movie into a grey, muddled mess - just a string of gory scenes with no feeling or passion behind it. Hell, most people can't even do gore right anymore...
It's as if the people who make these movies now (I'm looking at YOU, Eli Roth) don't even have the most basic understanding of why slasher movies became popular in the first place.

I think the real difference is who producers and casting for parts. If you look at older horror films the actors looked fairly normal. The actresses were in the normal range of pretty to average looking to even a bit frumpy and the actors looked like average people too. Everyone in modern American horror looks like the super good looking girls and ultra buff young men that dominated TV in the 8Os and 90s. It's like watching a bunch of showroom dummies. Most normal people would look deformed next to these people and that makes the killers sympathetic by default. The Internet doesn't help because it's full of lardy 15 year-olds boys who think any nose larger than nose-job tiny is an enormous konk bordering on being an elephants trunk and any body shape different to pert is an unspeakable outrage. It's just become an orthodoxy that all horror characters must be be blandly "hot" in case it offends some brainless kid somewhere or causes their heads to explode or something when they try to work out who the killer is. Basically, a lot of modern horror filmmakers don't cast actors to play caracters, they just go through photos and eleminate anyone who dislays any sot of quirk. the casting dictates the scripts. Actors chosen for their looks aren't convincing for parts that suggest something else is required. Reply to this

I like Radiodrome alot, because well pretty much I watch everything that Brad is on. And this is just a TIP. That I think would make the show better, and this show is a good example. ALMOST the 1st HALF of every Radiodrome of listened to is like a recap of your weekend or other stuff complety unrealted to the topic of the show, and then you seem rushed to wrap up convos just as the show is getting good. Brad does this on his reviews but he only spends like 2 minutes on it and its enjoyable. Spending nearly half the show NOT talking about slashers is kinda irritating. I mean once you get going its a GOOD show. But you could cover alot more if you limited the unrealted chatter to even 10 minutes. Keep it up though, not enough genre shows in the world. Reply to this
