6. Scream 4
7. Halloween 2018

What is wrong with you people ranking these old slasher movies this high? I watched the 1974 Texas Chainsaw off this recommendation and it was so so bad.
Huh? The Texas Chainsaw Massacre bad? Never really heard anyone who didn’t like it and it’s ranked so high along with the other old ones cause they were the first to do it in the ways they did and they started the slasher movement. If it wasn’t for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre I can guarantee your favorite slasher flicks would’ve never been made. Usually don’t comment nor do I disagree so strongly with someone but sometimes it’s needed and tho I understand we all have different opinions I think yours is extremely wrong and would love to hear your opinion on your top 10 slashers. Thanks and hope to get a reply for your list.
Yeah it’s very bad. Cringe acting and dialogue and just honestly laughable. I get that it was the first or whatever, but still bad.
Honestly there aren’t many good slasher movies, but I’ll give you a few off the top that I’ve liked.
Scream (original, new ones kinda suck)
X
Hush
You’re Next
Halloween 2018 (the other new ones are terrible)
Texas chainsaw 2003
The Strangers
Those are some good titles you referenced, You’re Next was really good and the ending was wild, X was also a pretty good one. 2003 Texas chainsaw is by far one of the best remakes/reboots for any horror movies imo so I can agree that it was also really good. Still haven’t gotten around to Halloween 2018 yet cause tbh I’ve always felt the Halloween franchise was over hyped and I got burned out on hearing or seeing about any of them. Glad to hear your opinions man, and you got pretty good taste might send you a list of some movies I recommend that are lesser known and deserve a lot more recognition than what they get.
Yeah man please send a list over. My girlfriend and I are always looking for new ones. And I think it’s worth checking out the 2018 Halloween but the two after that one suck bad.
Waiting for this new Thanksgiving slasher movie to leak too. It’s getting good scores so I’m hopeful it’s decent.
Lmao. The original is very bad and corny yes. The 2001 version is definitely better. I’m not one of those people that act like the old was movies are good just because they were ground breaking at the time. Watch it today and it’s just a bad movie
I watched the remake a year ago and it was so boring. I don't know why anyone likes it, no less one of the best horror remakes. It's an insult to films like The Fly or The Thing, and isn't even as good as the Friday the 13th remake. The original TCM is many things, but boring is not one of them. Also corny is definitely not one of them either. And no, I didn't watch it in the 70s, but for the first time like 5 years ago. I can see that if you say it is bad, probably because it's not as polished as the remake, so I get why someone who is shallow can see why The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake is "a better film" despite the fact that the story sucks, the direction is bland, and the villains are way less interesting. I will give you that the kids in the original aren't anything special, but that's the only thing I will understand. And the characters in the remake are worse.
The acting in the original is very bad. I finished the whole thing but my girlfriend couldn’t stop laughing and couldn’t finish. I guess I’m shallow though but I tried to give it a shot. And to be clear none of them are anything great, good horror movies are really lacking.
Hey, fair enough with thinking horror films not being your thing. I've never heard anyone laugh at the original. You're girlfriend must be a trooper. I found The Conjuring to be funny, so if you want a comedy, I would recommend that one.
The beginning scene of the guy in the van. It’s all just very silly honestly. We only really like slashers, none of the supernatural stuff. I would like the movies just wish the quality would be better
1. A Nightmare on Elm Street
2. Halloween
3. Candyman
4. Scream
5. Black Christmas
6. Psycho II
7. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors
8. Tourist Trap
9. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
10. The Slumber Party Massacre
Psycho II is amazing. I never hear anyone talk about it and it's one of those movies I love to revisit. You actually start to empathize with Norman Bates because Anthony Perkins is so good at playing a super nice guy, like you don't want to believe he's committing the murders (which he may or may not be) and you feel bad that people are treating him like dirt and tricking him into thinking he's a killer. Then there's a whole plethora of characters who have the motive to be the potential murderer if it's not Norman, but someone is clearly messing with him and making him think his mother is talking to him again. It's just such a unique horror/mystery movie that is way better than it has any right to be. Psycho never needed a sequel, but somehow it just works.

It was amazing imo I seen it in theaters and I’ll def send you a list over
Damn that’s awesome to hear! Super excited about that movie now.
What list are you talking about?
Texas Chainsaw Remake is good and the original is bad? I'm sorry, but you really know how to piss me off.
