- DirectorDarren Lynn BousmanStarsRebecca De MornayJaime KingShawn AshmoreThe sadistic members of a villainous family return to their childhood home to terrorize the new home owners and their guests.completely in contrast of the original, this "remake" takes place on a grittier and surprisingly original take on the story, about three hardened criminals takes refuge to their home, only to find out it's no longer theirs. Which means trouble for the home owners and their guests.
Home Invasion at its best. - DirectorKinji FukasakuStarsTatsuya FujiwaraAki MaedaTarô YamamotoIn the future, the Japanese government captures a class of ninth-grade students and forces them to kill one another under the revolutionary "Battle Royale" act.it's not a slasher film per se, but it takes the formula and molds it into something far more creative and soon, even inspire SLASHER films to do the same (Death Bell series anyone?)

It all leads up to the ultimate showdown!This weird weird serial killer/ slasher flick has it's moments of chuckles.

But after giving this film a second stir, I kinda appreciate it a little more. It took more emphasis on the stalks and whodunit than the actual murders, this "slasher film" takes the murder mystery route instead.
- DirectorScott Kenyon BarkerStarsRobbie DaymondMai-Ly DuongChristopher BurnhamDead On Site is the story of a group of media arts majors who decide as a final project to take over a vacant house where a family had been wiped out a year before. They plan to re-enact the murders and web-cast them on a site while they search for clues to the killerI'm kinda surprised how good this one was.

The creature is no longer a mindless blob ( literally) swallowing anybody it crosses path with, but rather, it's a dangerous predator out for meat. And it does it in a rather familiar pattern...
