Maybe they'd get the R just based on "disturbing content" or whatever, but maybe not. Really the only constant you can expect out of the MPAA are if there is a visible dick, you're going to get an R rating.

If Anaconda counts, Jaws 2 should count too, that's even got a bunch of teenagers who get picked off one by one.

It's pretty clearly defined in the title, slasher is about the slashing. Hard to do good, gory slasher kills within the PG-13 rating. Creature feature on the other hand is all about the creature, that's the main draw. So you can get away with much less in the gore department.

Maybe they'd get the R just based on "disturbing content" or whatever, but maybe not. For TCM it'd be the visceral shots of corpses and such. For Halloween it'd be the titties and the cavalier representation of teenage drug use and sex. Which is to say, there are lots of reasons why a room full of anonymous, mostly rich white people would give a film an R-rating, none of which really have anything to do with the intrinsic quality of the movie. This even bares out in the context of slasher films. Maybe people are conflating "slasher films" with "splatter films"? They overlap, but they're not the same thing. Go back and watch Black Christmas, it's a decidedly chaste movie. In fact, I'd argue that the best slasher films to experience are consistently more focused on emphasizing some morbid theme rather than how technically explicit they are. And, again, what ends up being explicit enough to get you an R-rating is highly dubious. Kvlt! posted:there are good pg13 horror movies but there has never been a good pg13 slasher movie ever Happy Death Day edit: Let's also be clear here - the R-rating just means that a trust of the major film studios decided that the film was appropriate for someone as young as 13 to see as long as they're accompanied by a parent. Instead of talking about arbitrary content classifications, let's maybe talk about things like... good filmmaking.

If I put a slice of bread on each side of a Meatballs 2 DVD then it is a slasher.

Kvlt! posted:there are good pg13 horror movies but there has never been a good pg13 slasher movie ever Case in point: Krampus was PG13 and it's the best Christmas horror movie ever. Also Germlins, the reason the PG13 rating exists and the second greatest Christmas horror movie ever made, is an excellent movie. PG13 horror movies are for the most part pretty great (a lot of my personal favorites had that rating), but you're right that none of the good PG13 horror movies are slashers. The whole point of a slasher is to show a whole bunch of violence and blood and crazy kills and you just can't do that within the confines that a PG13 rating entails.

Krampus may not be the best Christmas horror movie ever but it's certainly the best one in quite a long time.

Tried to watch American Mary last night but couldn’t stand the terrible writing and editing. There’s a scene where Mary’s phone rings and then cuts to the end of class except now she is apologizing for falling asleep? Also, the writers need to learn the difference between a character and a caricature. Stopped when a surgeon at a party just kept repeating something about cutting people. Surprised that movie has decent reviews.

I think you were supposed to watch it when you were a teenager and it was brand new; most of its charm was novelty that it doesn't have anymore. edit: Holy gently caress that movie's not nearly as old as I thought. I, uh, I dunno. I got nothin' over here.

The Soska Sisters are obviously really huge horror fans and also evidence why you can't just give a camera to any nerd at a HorrorCon with encyclopedic knowledge of the genre and get a good film.

Seriously, I got to see this at the Fantastic Fest last year and I couldn’t believe how good it was. According to the director during the Q&A, that was the first US screening of the movie. Good that it’s finally getting the distribution it deserves.

Rewatched Misery last night with some company, and we all realized upon rewatching that Paul Sheldon was the same dude as the dad from Elf, who coincidentally is a guy who works in book publishing in New York and hates the holiday season for some mysterious reason. So now I'm convinced Elf is a sequel to Misery, about a PTSD-suffering Paul Sheldon confronting his trauma and overcoming his fears of eccentric strangers, and also Christmas I guess.

On the topic of Misery, Caste Rock season 2 just wrapped up and actually managed to stick the landing this time. Quality season, Tim Robbins got a good chance to shine (hah).

Black Christmas and Christmas Evil are masterpieces but I don't think Silent Night, Deadly Night deserves to be included in that category. It's good but I have more fun watching Krampus.

My sincere pick for Christmas trifecta are Black Christmas, Christmas Evil and Dial Code Santa Claus now. I still like Gremlins as a Christmas movie, despite it's flaws.
