The Best of Slasher Movies!

The best slasher movies of all times are movies that gave you the creeps just thinking about them. The following are some of the best slasher of all times because they got under my skin to the point that I couldn't go to sleep alone and became paranoid of overly friendly weirdos!

10) The Last House on the Left (1972)

Director: Wes Craven

Writer: Wes Craven

Plot: One thing watch out for vengeful parents, they will do whatever it takes to get sweet revenge. This movie was banned when it first came out in the 70's, even Wes Craven did not want to associate himself with the movie because it had such bad reviews but once I watched this movie for the first time, I knew I could only love it, I know the cops were comical, and some of the scene arrangements were inconsistent but I loved the gore, the bloodshed and the fact that Mari's parents in this former version took no prisoners.

9) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The beginning (2006)

Director: Jonathan Liebesman

Writer: Sheldon Turner

Plot: This story is based on true events; these kids were on their way home from Mexico without a care in their mind. They picked up a first female hitchhiker who’s had a similar lifestyle as them and blended in as such, but the second hitchhiker they picked up started it all. There was something terribly wrong with her, she looked as if she had been raped over and over but she wouldn’t say a word until she saw that her benefactors were going the wrong way, the way back to where life was not the same as she knew it, so she ended her life, right there in their van. All of them sat there stupefied not knowing what to do; so they go to the town in the search of the sheriff. Maybe they should have buried her in the middle of the desert; maybe they should have never picked her up because sometimes the right thing to do is not always a good thing. The chain of events that took place thereafter is so gory that you, the horror fanatic, have to watch if you haven’t already.

8) I know What you did last Summer (1997)

Director: Jim Gillepsie

Writers: Lois Duncan & Kevin Williamson

Plot: A group of high school friends, loving and enjoying life to the fullest would have never believed what they were about to go through if someone was to tell them five minutes before it happened. On their drive back home from the beach, they hit a fisherman that was walking on the street by accident. Unnerved by what happened they decided to dump him in the ocean and to speak of this incident never again. Only if secrets could stay secrets, they would have been able to get away with murder but we all know better. So, the next summer they start receiving black mails in between the group, paranoid of the situation, they start pointing fingers at each other, blaming each other for spilling the bean. But was it one of them? Or was the fisherman ever dead? They start to believe the worse as they are getting killed off one by one.

7) Misery (1990)

Director: Rob Reiner

Writers: Stephen King & William Goldman

Plot: "I am your biggest fan" is always stuck to my head when I think of this movie. Sometimes, being a fan and not having a life of your own is not the right mix. As a result, you get so involved with the artist, author, writer, singer whatever profession they have, to the point that you cannot stop yourself from being too concern about their personal life as well as their professional life. That is the story of this nurse who is a true passionate but sometimes too much passion becomes an obsession. She was obsessed about this writer; she loved his works and had bought all of his books. The gift of her life arrived when this writer came to her town. What a no-life, self-absorbed, fanatic, writer crazed of a woman to do? Plan an accident and hold the writer hostage until he writes the ending of her dreams. She will do whatever needs to be done to get this writer to see how much she truly cares about him; even if that means paralyzing him to the bed with the help of a hammer.

6) Hannibal (2001)

Director: Ridley Scott

Writers: Thomas Harris & David Mamet

Plot: Hannibal is one of those sociopaths who has the façade of a sociable person, very knowledgeable but eats people’s flesh on occasion while he’s killing them. Hannibal is one of those characters that kills certain group of people and wants to be known for doing it, wants the cop on his tail as if that is his greatest motivation. Hannibal and Silence of the lambs are very similar as the former is the continuation and the description of the serial killer at hand, which makes for one of the greatest serial killer installments ever.

5) Identity (2003)

Director: James Mangold

Writer: Michael Cooney

Plot: This serial killer is sentenced to the electric chair; his doctor wants the judge to change the plea to not guilty because of his insanity on the wake of his execution. His doctor requests a meeting between all the lawyers and the judge, to prove his patient’s condition. Meanwhile, this multiple personality serial killer is having a meeting in his head with all of his personalities also. One out of the 10 personalities is evil; he has to confront them all in order to conclude which one is the evil one and how to rid him of the evil one. Will he succeed? Will the evil one kill off all of the good personalities? You got to watch it to know.

4) Psycho (1998)

Director: Gus Van Sant

Writers: Robert Bloch & Joseph Stefano

Plot: Mother this, mother that! Alfred Hitchcock is one of my favorite directors/writers because of his originality. This movie has a valuable lesson in it, if you weren’t paying attention, read this very attentively. Whoever you are dating and have to make sure his mom is fed, clothed, or have to approve of their decisions, not that I care personally but something is very wrong. No man should act this way towards their mom unless mother is paralyzed, even if that was the case, whatever happened to in-house nurses? You need to keep your psycho radar on at all times!

3) Scream (1996)

Director: Wes Craven

Writer: Kevin Williamson

Plot: "Hello Sydney!" This movie is the dictionary of what to expect in a scary movie, how to react if you were to become victim of a scary movie plot, how to prevent being killed off, and last but not least the scream factor that comes to finding out that the killer is usually the closest person to you, the one that you would least imagine to be a killer.

2) Hostel (2005)

Director: Eli Roth

Writer: Eli Roth

Plot: Two friends go backpack through Europe, befriends another traveler and get words from an European sex addict that they would be able to find the most beautiful women in Europe hassle free in the heart of some hostel in the middle of nowhere. What he faulted to tell them is that for one night stand with these beautiful women they get to become pieces of meat for some twisted men literally.

1) Irreversible (2002)

Director: Gaspar Noe

Writer: Gaspar Noe

Plot: Things that happen to us in life are sometimes unfortunate and most often irreversible no matter how much we try to turn back the clock or to make others pay for our misfortune, it will never make it better or make it go away. Two wrongs just do not make it right. This movie was banned in major Countries when it first came out due to extreme violence and nudity. This movie is very profound, and provides us all with a very important lesson. Some might not see it right away, because we love the gore, the violence and the nudity but after you let it sink in, you will see sometimes no matter how much you try to make others pay for your pain, it will always be with you. The movie plays in a non-linear format which makes it more interesting to see how one wrong turn can change not just one life but three lives for the worse. This movie is very inspiring to see how one girl's misfortune can transform two other lives forever. I love Vincent Cassel and my ex loved Monica Belluci so much, they are a married couple in real life by the way. This beautiful couple starred in this visceral, most controversial thriller. Two questions: What would you do if the love of your life gets victimized and abused physically over and over and over? Would you seek revenge personally or would you let the cops handle it? If you haven’t seen this movie yet, shame on you. Watch it today.

Is it a shocker that this European slasher got the number one slot? Well, watch it and you'll find out why it got banned from several Countries for years.
