@Variety Such sad news.

@TheTennisLetter Over the moon for her! I kinda hope she wins it, but it's a tough choice.

[Slasher Trash @SlasherTrash]

@DiscussingFilm Of course it does.

[Slasher Trash @SlasherTrash]

@Zwxsh No.

@TheTennisLetter Kostyuk.

[Slasher Trash @SlasherTrash]

@TheTennisLetter And she has back-to-back bageled those slam champs.

That is unreal.

[Slasher Trash @SlasherTrash]

@WTA I think it's Kostyuk's title.

@BDisgusting THE GUEST is absolutely badass and this sounds like a spiritual sequel.

I am so in.

[Slasher Trash @SlasherTrash]

@Batrachian393 @grumpyandrew @jdiggs67 @FANGORIA For sure. I've not seen anybody actually nail down the very first time it was used in a critical analysis. I've just seen several newspaper reviews utilise it in the wake of FRIDAY THE 13TH.

Reviews for films like FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2, SWEET SIXTEEN, SILENT MADNESS etc

ALICE, SWEET ALICE (1976) | Slasher Trash Review 🔪🩸

To mark its 50th year, I turned the lights out and revisited Alfred Sole's magnificent proto-slasher.

'In 1961, divorced Catholic couple Dom and Catherine Spages' life is upended when their teenage daughter Alice is suspected of her younger sister Karen's brutal murder during her First Holy Communion and a series of stabbings follow.'

@serenawilliams Welcome back, Queen Serena! 💪

@grumpyandrew @Batrachian393 @jdiggs67 Yes, I'm sure you're right. I've seen several similar terms coined in reviews for 70s horrors. 'Slasher' definitely marked an evolution as it become much more widely used after the original FRIDAY THE 13TH, with many critics referencing the 'slasher boom'.

[Slasher Trash @SlasherTrash]

I think that's just it. The slasher tag wasn't coined until the FRIDAY THE 13TH era, so certain older films which fit (or partially fit) the template were retroactively labelled as such.

I appreciate that some filmmakers have never viewed their films as slashers – even when they fit the bill – but I think a certain level of pretension comes into it as well.

There's a negative attachment that comes with slashers, so some don't want to 'diminish' their work by accepting the tag. It's like they feel it removes any artistic merit, which is a shame.

@thenanaaba He's an all-time great.
