The conventions and standards of American slasher horror films are discussed with examples.
This was not as good as Eaten Alive! TRAFOICF. It focused more on the obvious, mainstream hits of the genre without digging much deeper. This time, the hour and a half seemed to drag. The information density was much lower and it seemed more like an infotainment Discovery channel production. The interviewees were just as good, being filmmakers and stars along with writers. The subject matter was much more mainstream and "pop culture" than Eaten Alive!, which I did not appreciate. Most of the interviews had the same static camera angle, but a couple of them mixed it up a little bit. The audio was mixed well, but the Halloween theme just kept coming back in the soundtrack over and over. The style of this film was much less academic than Eaten Alive! as well. This got a 7.3/10 on IMDB and I agree with a C- grade because it just wasn't that great. I rate this o.k. for mediocrity.
