Slasher Film

A slasher film is a subgenre of horror movies characterized by a killer, often masked, who stalks and murders a group of people, typically teenagers or young adults. The narrative usually involves the characters making poor choices, which heightens the suspense as they encounter the relentless antagonist. Common elements include graphic violence, suspenseful music, and a final surviving character known as the "final girl," who confronts the murderer. Slasher films explore themes of fear, morality, and the consequences of rebellion, often leaving a lasting impact on popular culture and influencing subsequent horror films.
