Overview
A celebration of slasher cinema - from Psycho to the present day, with a focus on highlighting many of the genre's forgotten cult classics, deconstructing how to survive a slice and dice movie and meditating upon why it is almost always a final girl and rarely a final guy. Among the films many interviewees are Corey Feldman, Mick Garris, Tobe Hooper, Tom Holland, Eduardo Sánchez, Patrick Lussier, Norman J. Warren, Felissa Rose, Scott Spiegel, Fred Olen Ray, Jeffrey Reddick, John Carl Buechler, Emily Booth, Adam Green, Marysia Kay, J.S. Cardone.
Release
Slice and Dice: The Slasher Film Forever was only released in the UK, possibly because the clips used to highlight the documentary are from the catalogue of 88 Films.
