Best Slasher Movie of all time!!


This and hell night are the top of the slasher crop!!

Are you nuts? Halloween is the best slasher of all time! Terror Train is good but nothing beats the suspense and terror of Halloween.

I don't necessarily agree, but I love this movie and Hell Night. Hell Night rules.

Definately not the best slasher of all time, but one of the better ones.

In my retarded opinion, I rate Terror Train higher than any slasher flick. it's even better than Halloween!!!

Hell Night is awful. The editor must've been sleeping while working on this sleeping pill of a flick. Hell, it's not even a slasher film! It truely was a HELL NIGHT trying to make it through this stinking pile of garbage. The pace was extremely low, so low that I suspected a turtle running past the actors any minute... why the long, winding, boring takes of people taking their weekly walks? I want blood, I want entertainment!

Just had a friend from New York send me a DVD of Terror Train as it is very rare here in Sydney, Australia. I last saw Terror Train at the drive-in in 1980. Viewing Terror train a couple of days ago, I am surprised how good it was and still is today. better than I remembered. The best Jamie lee Curtis has ever looked with maybe exception of "True Lies"

Those are the only two slasher movies from the 80's that I don't like. There is something about them that is just so boring and generic. There is NOTHING original about them, even for slasher movies.

Ehhh....Not quite. But it's very good. I liked it. Anything that can combine the acting legend Ben Johnson with the top 80's "Scream Queen" Jamie Lee Curtis, David Copperfield, and soon to be "Die Hard" smarmy Hart Bochner is something special.

I love to love my Lisa.
