Slasher Films

Slasher films are a subgenre of horror movies characterized by a killer stalking and murdering a group of people, often using sharp weapons. They typically feature a lone survivor, often referred to as the "final girl," who confronts the antagonist in a tense climax. Key themes include fear, morality, and the consequences of risky behavior. Iconic examples include "Halloween," "A Nightmare on Elm Street," and "Friday the 13th." Slasher films often have a distinctive visual style and create suspense through a combination of music, pacing, and the reveal of the killer.
