A 80's slasher film with no nudity?
That fact alone makes this movie an utter failure in my book.
Show me the holes!

Nudity is a must in slashers. So i agree that it needed some t&a, but i wouldnt call it a failure or a bad slasher.
shareThe original A Nightmare on Elm Street and Black Christmas had no nudity and there was no nudity in Friday the 13th VI and that's the movie with the most respect from critics. If you nudity is your primary concern than switch it to porn. Some of us care more about a decent story and character development.
sharePart VI is a fan favorite and it was generally well-received, but it's not the one with the "most respect from critics". The original still stands as the most well-received film in the series, which isn't saying all that much given how much critics hate the F13 franchise. And for fans, Part 2 is also generally held in higher regard than Part VI. IV and VI are about on the same level.
Still, you definitely have a point. There was a time when slasher films were actually concerned with things other than just nudity and the kill count. Black Christmas and ANOES are prime examples of slashers without nakedness that were also quality films. Scream is also in that category.
I'd rather sit through a good film than a bad one, with or without the boobs. But hey, there's no reason you can't have both. Which is where Halloween comes in.

Elm Street has nudity when Nancy is being pulled down into the bathtub.

Judging slasher films by critical evaluation is foolish. Critics have never respected the genre and they can all lick my balls.
shareIt really doesn't bother me. Still a classic slasher.

I give it points for not stooping to exploitation.

Showing numerous gory murders simply for shock value IS exploitation.

Absolutely. This film in it's unrated cut is extremely gory.
Snobby slasher fans are weirdos. You're watching films with people getting brutally murdered but you consider a topless scene to be exploitative and in poor taste. 🤪

If the only reason you're watching slasher films is to stare at nude people, it might be cheaper in the long run to just move to a house overlooking a nude beach. Horror movies don't have to be pervy to have a good story and be entertaining. 😲

not sure a beachfront house is cheaper than renting movies...
shareIt’s Canadian, that’s probably why.

I don't think it really would had added too much to the story as it was more based on a massacre taking place in and around a working-class mining town.
