Simon’s 1982 cult favourite. 2 mill take on a relatively small budget. Panned on release mainly, but has developed a drive-in, grindhouse style following. Fun fact: blood and guts taken from an actual slaughter house. #1980s#80sslasher#80shorror#slashermovies#slasher#horror
Michele Soavi’s first film. Student of Argento, Soavi’s debut feature regularly appears on underrated 80s slasher lists. The Italian- Soavi gets a lot of credit for his style being similar to his tutor:Dario Argento. #darioargento#michelesoavi#80sslasher#80shorrormovies#80s
Cunningham was so convinced with the films success, that he took out a full page ad featuring the title only before the film had been made.
It worked and he received the full financial backing that he needed. #friday13thmovie#80s#80shorror#80sfilms#80smovies#kevinbacon
1989 Was a little late on the band wagon and a few years too late to make any decent 💲. The bubble had burst on the slasher movie by around 86/87. Although panned by most, some critics announced that this film was ahead of its time and deserved more credit. #80s#80shorror
