I don't know about Dark Ride and won't have it for a week or two but I've just tried Bride of Chucky on my Region A set player and it played no problem. Its got a good picture for a catalogue title to. I liked Mandy Lane but as you can tell I do tend to like Slashers.

Defjuggalo,does D-Tox have any special features on it?Thanks in advance.

master_8ball · 01-26-2011, 05:54 PM

Did you just create a sub group or something to get your Slasher titles to show on their own in that link you posted on the last page (to view covers)?

When I look at my collection Slasher isnt an option, just horror genre.

I didnt consider Triangle a slasher movie.

I highly recommened Mandy Lane.While it doesn't reinvent the genre,it is highly entertaining IMO.

A few questions to get to here. D-Tox is completely devoid of extras unfortunately jmb1381.

Master 8ball I added the Slasher category myself. Click the Manage categories tab on your collection options and add it and your sorted. Triangle is a Slasher in my opinion. Its non linear story and supernatural elements certainly lend it to different sub genres. However at the end of the day it still has at its core Slasher elements with just enough twists around them to make it seem like something fresh.

Unfortunately the only place that I could find for Bride of Chucky that would ship to me in the UK was was Amazon.fr StoogeFan1118. It was pretty pricey so I got the Wife to get it for me for my Birthday.

I believe we got it for around £20 delivered but can't be sure.

Kainefu I've not seen the Strangers. Will have to give that a go. I've never thought of SAW as a Slasher, of course its heavily influenced by the genre but it I feel it its to many steps removed from the Slasher. Not that I'm some sort of authority.

I've just watched Friday the 13th part 3 in 3D for the first time and currently see everything in red and green.

jmb1381 · 01-26-2011, 11:54 PM

Ah well, I still may order D-Tox sometime and just keep my dvd for the special features.

Is Babbysitter Wanted a Slasher then? If so I'll have to check that out. I love a bit of Bill Moseley. I've made a list of available Slashers that I've not yet got for my collection. To be honest I'm not 100% that they are all Slashers so please let me know if they veer off into Torture film territory or whatever. I've seen a few of them such as House of a 100 Corpses, The Hills Have Eyes 1 & 2, The Wrong Turn trilogy and the Halloween 3 film set. Feel free to let me know what you think of any of them, for obvious reasons I'd rather import the better films.

Dark Nature - US
Wrong Turn Trilogy - US
Hills Have Eyes 1 & 2 remakes - UK
Seed of Chucky - US

As always suggestions are more the welcome if I've missed any. Watched Child's Play the other day. Tremendous transfer I thought. Here's an update on my Slasher Movie Blu collection at the moment.

Praying that Anchor Bay and other companies get their acts together so I can see some classics released.

AB has Halloween 1 THX edition, 4, 5, Hell Night, and Sleepaway Camp (plus they have recently put out Phantasm 1-3). Paramount has Friday the 13th parts 4-8, April Fool's Day, and Happy Birthday to Me (and Paramount can be counted on for great video quality as Ft13ths 1-3 and their joint venture with Lion's Gate on MBV have once again shown). Universal has Halloween 2-3, Child's Play 2 (plus a couple bunched in with the genre like Phantasm 2-3), and the Funhouse. New Line has ANOES 2-ANN, Jason Goes to Hell, Jason X, TCSM 3, etc. MGM has The Burning, Sleepaway Camp 2-3, and other films bunched in with slashers like Night of the Demons and Phantasm 1 and 4, etc. Lionsgate should have a ton through their Vestron catalog (Mortuary being a good one). Plus smaller companies have some real gems like Elite and Alone in the Dark (a New Line film though), Synapse and Madman (though they had the incorrect color timing and weaker video quality on their release), and Shout Factory with the Slumber Party Massacre series, plus Blue Underground probably has a boatload of foreign slashers like Stage Fright in their catalog (they seem to have the rights to most of Anchor Bay's releases of Spanish and Italian films).

Synapse has listed Intruder as a future release, I have always felt this is a slasher that would really benefit from hd.

I'll have to look at my collection to see what I have on BR (I know I have a bunch more I recorded from tv, which tides me over until a BR release on the good ones).

Madman was released by Code Red, but the director had full control over the new DVD release and he used a HDTV broadcast (MonstersHD) source for the DVDs transfer. Part of the deal for Code Red to get this was basically that they paid the director to release it on their label however he wanted with little to no control. Shortly after the Code Red DVD release came out the director stated on some forum, possibly originally on AV Maniacs, that he was already planning a Blu-Ray Madman release as well as 2 more new Madman movies. Whether Madman actually comes out on Blu-Ray or not is to be seen. Don May Jr of Synapse said the director wanted entirely too much to release the DVD and didn't want to create a new master so they basically had no choice but to pass because it wasn't really up to their standards.... there's a Code Red thread at AV Maniacs with much of the hoopla surrounding Madman in it from last year if anyone is interested in reading such drama.

I know very well what a slasher film is. I just tend to lump slasher and survival type horror films together, mainly because it's the same general concept executed in a different way.

Except this is a thread solely for Slasher movies and there for it doesn't matter if you lump them in together personally. It doesn't make them Slasher movies does it. I think you can make an argument for the first Final Destination but its a loose one and I don't personally subscribe to it. Sure the Torture/Survival films borrow convention from Slashers but that doesn't mean they are Slasher films. Now if you want to debate the similarity's and justify the inclusion that's cool but I can understand why CZAR has pointed out the floors in your list.

KFelon I've heard of Code Red a few times. Are they a legit company? I'm from the UK and only stumbled upon mention of them a few times here and there on the net and can't quite work out what there deal is. Would love a Madman Blu.

DarknessBDJM I can't wait for Intruder, I've never seen it but the trailer is on a ton of Hardgore budget DVDs in the UK and its been on my list for years now. Interesting to read just who has the rights to what. It really surprises me that studios don't put more Slashers out. Traditionally they have been the horror bread and butter of studios. I know they don't scream HD to the casual man on the street but surely they would do well enough to justify there releases. Otherwise smaller companies wouldn't bother such as Synapse. Hopefully Scream 4 will do insanely well and we'll get a slew of new Slashers and Blu releases of all the classics.

Gardenofstone10 · 03-07-2011, 09:30 AM

I'm a huge slasher fan and get as many as I can on blu ray and certainly hope that the sequels come this year to series like Halloween, TCM, Friday, etc.

DEF! · 03-07-2011, 01:55 PM

Have any of you seen Laid to rest? I'm thinking of importing the uncut Dutch limited edition Steel Mediabook.

Any thoughts? It doesn't appear to be on Blu-Ray.com which is odd. Its released by Dragon Film Entertainment. Are they known official distributors? REALLY don't want to fork out and end up with a bootleg. Don't want it if its more survival horror/Torture than Slasher so if you've seen it let me know.
