Review of Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film (2006) by Dylan M — 18 Jan 2008
Really dug this doco that is dedicated to the slasher genre. I can't help comparing it to The American Nightmare, which I also saw recently, however that doco covered horror as a genre, where as this one focuses only on slashers.
All the faves are there Freddy, Michael and of course my boy Jason. Lots of interviews with genre legends such as John Carpenter, Wes Craven and Tom Savini. Also covers alot of other slashers such as My Bloody Valentine, Prom Night, Maniac and Sleepaway Camp.
Warning it may spoil plot points if you have not seen these flicks....spoiled Sleepaway ending for me dammit. A must see for fans.
