Ispravite me ako se varam, tim više jer ja iskreno i nisam stručnjak za horror žanr, ali kao jedan od prvih, ako ne i prvi slasher horrorac slovi Hitchcockovo remek-djelo Psycho. Ona famozna scena pod tušem je inspirirala cjeli niz slasher horroraca koji su posebice obilježili 70-e i 80-e godine prošlog stoljeća – Halloween, Friday the 13th, Maniac, Prom Night te mnogi, mnogi drugi. Ljubitelje tog pod-žanra, kao i one koji nisu toliko upoznati sa njime (poput mene), će zasigurno oduševiti ovaj Britanski dokumentarni film redatelja Caluma Waddella o povijesti slasher filmova. Mnogobrojni poznati (i manje poznati) glumci i glumice, te redatelji koji su se okušali u tom pod-žanru pričaju o svojim iskustvima i viđenjima fenomena slasher horroaca koji su popularni još i dan danas. Tako su u filmu Tobe Hooper, Corey Feldman, Dean Jones, John Fallon, Mark Atkins, Fred Olen Ray, Scott Spiegel itd. Budžet iznosi svega 10 tisuća $, a Slice and Dice: The Slasher Film Forever je bio prikazan na par filmskih festivala kao što su Sitges Film Festival i Horrorthon Festival u Dublinu. Britanci će film imati prilike pogledati na DVD-u od 13. svibnja 2013.
RADNJA
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.
