The Best Decade for Movies

[M.10rda]

If you haven't seen it, there's a film called IN A VIOLENT NATURE that was the best new movie I saw last year, and it addresses/explores a lot of the slasher-centric conversation here. If you love slasher movies you might love it, and if you hate slasher movies you might love it...!

I've never seen any appeal at all to slasher movies. To be honest I've always thought they drew-in people who had limited exposure to how terrible real life acts of violence can be.

...to me it's all escapism at the end of the day. I'm not going to think too hard about equating what goes down on-screen in an enjoyable piece of cinematic trash to any 'real life' woes.

^ I'm not ragging YOU- you like what you like. More power to ya. Fer crying out loud- I think the HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND is a classic! 
As far as "limited exposure to real violence"- I've had boat loads of real violence happen in my life- murder- suicide-car wrecks- but watching slashers don't bother me. If they are well made, say like the 1st HALLOWEEN- it's all good. It's just the repetition of it all. It just seems like watching the same movie over and over , ad nauseum.

it's all good. we all have our tastes. and no one can really help what they do or don't like, movie-wise...

- attempting to justify taste is another matter

Eh, late '70s, early 80s, when cheap but amusing knock-offs of Star Wars & Alien started coming out of the woodwork, & then all these Mad Max rip-offs started catching on....
