Slasher Film is a
subgenre of thriller and horror film, typically involving a psychopathic killer stalking and murdering a sequence of victims in a
graphically violent manner, often with a bladed tool such as a knife, as used in
'Scream' (Craven, 1994, bottom-centre), or, more extremely, a saw, as used in the
'Saw' franchise (Wan, 2004-2010, top-centre) . Although the term 'slasher' is often used as a generic term for any horror movie involving acts of murder, the genre has
established its own set of characteristics, which make it different to those of splatter films and psychological thriller.
