The slasher movie genre is a subcategory of horror films characterized by its focus on a relentless, often masked, and typically malevolent antagonist who employs a variety of weapons, such as knives or other sharp objects, to gruesomely dispatch their victims. These films frequently feature a group of unsuspecting, often young, protagonists who find themselves isolated and pursued by the relentless killer, often in an enclosed or remote setting. The tension builds through a combination of suspenseful pacing, creative death scenes, and a sense of impending doom. The genre gained prominence in the late 1970s and 1980s with iconic franchises like “Halloween,” “Friday the 13th,” and “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” establishing enduring archetypes such as the final girl, a resilient female survivor.
