Ever since Alfred Hitchcock created PSYCHO in 1960, the story of a weapon-wielding madman - stalking and slaughtering helpless victims - has become a fixture of fear flicks and bludgeoned bombastic box office takings worldwide. SLICE & DICE: THE SLASHER FILM FOREVER takes an often irreverent look at this much-maligned, and frequently misunderstood, genre with commentary from some of the form's most celebrated filmmakers. Cutting an immediate presence on the screen, this delirious documentary delves into the history of hack 'em up cinema, investigates the rules of this teen-trepanning terror trend and even gives some pointers into how to survive a stint in the genre.
Frequently funny, delightfully disgusting and always engaging, SLICE & DICE: THE SLASHER FILM FOREVER is ideal viewing for anyone who has found themselves gnawing on their fingernails during a chance viewing of BLACK CHRISTMAS, HALLOWEEN, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET or SCREAM. An unashamed salutation to the arterial-spraying excellence of Norman Bates, Leatherface, Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger and their many plasma-packed protégés, SLICE & DICE: THE SLASHER FILM FOREVER is a must-have for horror-hounds everywhere.
Dokumentaren er en independent-produktion, der ikke vælter sig i topnavne som f.eks. John Carpenter, Wes Craven og Tom Savini, men man får bl.a. interview med Corey Feldman, Mick Garris, Adam Green, Tom Holland, Tobe Hooper og mange andre. Det lyder under alle omstændigheder som en dvd, der skal hjem til samlingen. Kilde: Dread Central
Der findes allerede en fremragende slasher-doku, nemlig GOING TO PIECES, der så mest handler om 1980ernes slasherbølge!
SvarSletGOING TO PIECES er udsendt på DVD i England, som en del af af THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT 3-disc DVD bokssættet, men så vidt vides ikke som "stand alone" udgivelse!
Men SLICE & DICE er klart en køber - rart at se det ikke er de sædvanlige ofre man har interviewet (om end jeg tror Mick Garris også dukker op i GOING TO PIECES)!
GOING TO PIECES er nemlig rigtig god; jeg har skrevet om den her. Den er udkommet på dvd i Sverige fra Njutafilms.
