Review of The Slayer

The Slayer (1982)
Better than many
18 June 2004
Warning: Spoilers
This is a great 80's horror movie. It has all the elements a scary movie should have. Anyone looking for a masterpiece of movie making will be disappointed. Anyone looking for a classic 80's horror movie should love this. It is no 'Halloween' or 'Friday the 13th', but it is as good as 'The Fog' or better. There is no monster waiting for them on an island. The monster is part of the girls psyche and comes to life through her. The ending is unexpected and fits very well into the story. I have read bad reviews about this movie and they all have their head on backwards. They definitely have no idea what 80's 'B' horror movies should be like. They must be comparing it to 'A' list horror movies. It is not an 'A' list horror movie. It is a 'B' list horror movie and it pays off great.

8+ out of 10 stars for this one.
