Great review! Only one thing: I think Psycho is psycho-thriller suspense movie, not a slasher horror film. That would make Norma/n Bates a next door boy killer (the 2°, the 1° is Hans Beckert from M-1931, a noir suspense film). While I was watching the movie I see Leslie more as a ndbk than a slasher, he really reminds me of Norman Bates in some scenes. Nice guy, handsome, a little bit crazy, charming, get along with guys and woman fall for him, police dont suspect...is an ndbk with no doubts

Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate your analysis of the movies. Your comment is the first I've ever heard of the "boy next door killer" sub-genre. Categorizing these films can become a very gray area because the different sub-genres share so many similar characteristics. However - classification gives us a jumping off point for analysis. Thanks for sharing.

'twitch of the death' nerve was the bridge between 'blood and black lace' and 'halloween'. great giallo and a must for any slasher fan. called by many to be the first body count movie and shares many similarities to both halloween and friday the 13th, just a decade earlier!

[MutantvillePlayers]

Thanks for bringing up Bay of Blood. That was one of those films that I neglected to mention - but always wish I had. That's the pain of doing these reviews extemporaneously as one always tends to leave out something. Like you said - Twitch of the Death Nerve deserves mention as there are more than simple similarities between it and Friday the 13th part 2 as several shots/gags were almost lifted straight from Bava's earlier film and recycled into Friday part 2.

Thanks for watching.//Streebo

Peeping Tom came first.

In the film at one point, Leslie did mention Chucky. I wish people would'nt forget him cause he's a slasher like Michael & all that

Great review!!! Im gonna have to buy this movie. I saw it on ebay for only $4.

Black christmas 1974 is insane. I just saw clips from the movie. And it had me on the edge of my seat. Scary as shit!!!

[residentvania]

Man great review. I gotta buy this movie. Hell i saw it NEW on ebay for $4. Im buying it tonight. Black christmas has got to be the most insane movie ever. I saw just bits and parts of it. It really had me on the edge of my seat.

Hell yeah ! i think no one can beat The fourths Slashers legends: Michael Myers, Jason Vorhees, Leatherface and Freddy Krueger. They are the best, and it's not a little dolly like Chucky or somes fags like "ghostface" (scream), "Pinhead" (hellraiser) or "Candyman" who can compete with them. They are the ELITE, The best killers of all movies man ! They pwn everything and everywhere. A lot of people will not agree with me but i don't cares. Slasher-fans know that i'm right!

Wikipedia Says it's "ki ki ki ma ma ma" (for "Kill her, Mommy" or somethin' like that)
