About This Movie

Calum Waddell's 'Slice and Dice: The Slasher Film Forever' dives deep into the slasher genre, and it’s not just a recap of the big names. It thoughtfully explores the lesser-known gems that have slipped through the cracks, highlighting films that are often overlooked. The pacing feels breezy, but it’s packed with insights on the archetypes, especially the final girl trope which is examined with a critical eye. You’ll find plenty of interviews with directors and actors that add a personal touch to the narrative. Plus, there’s a solid focus on practical effects, which, let’s be honest, have a charm that today's CGI often lacks. It's a fun watch if you enjoy dissecting horror tropes.
