Slice and Dice: The Slasher Film Forever (2012)

Some of the masters of horror cinema come together to discuss the legacy of the slasher film in this fun, often irreverent and always informative documentary.

Produced for Arrow Video in the United Kingdom, SLICE AND DICE: THE SLASHER FILM FOREVER is divided into six sections - "how to survive a slasher film", "the genre's greatest hits", "the final girl", "making a memorable movie maniac", "the secret of a good gore gag" and, finally, "the slasher film forever", in which the enduring appeal of the form, and the current crop of remakes, is discussed. Those taking part in are a little cultier than usual and generally not as ubiquitous on genre documentaries. This includes J. S. Cardone, who directed the classic "video nasty" THE SLAYER and later wrote and produced the STEPFATHER and PROM NIGHT remakes; Corey Feldman, who killed Jason in FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER; Scott Spiegel of HOSTEL and INTRUDER fame; legendary Brit director Norman J. Warren; FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE NEW BLOODs John Carl Buechler; and such recent genre kingpins as Patrick Lussier, who edited the SCREAM movies and directed MY BLOODY VALENTINE and DRIVE ANGRY, Adam Green of HATCHET, Dave Parker of THE HILLS RUN RED and Chris Smith of TRIANGLE and SEVERANCE.
