The slasher subgenre is one of the purest and most straightforward within the broader category of horror movies. Essentially, a slasher movie will involve a group of people being targeted by one or more foes throughout a story’s duration. Typically, people will be picked off one by one , oftentimes leading to a final girl being left to fight for their survival on their own.
She’s wasted here, alongside everyone else, with the story of Halloween: Resurrection trying to bring then-modern technology into the series with something of a faux-found footage spin on the whole thing that never really works. But it’s possible to treat this one entirely non-seriously and have a laugh at a few moments here and there, including the iconic scene where Busta Rhymes kicks Michael Myers out a window.
8 'Jason X' Director: James Isaac There was an attempt to take the Friday the 13th series in a novel direction with its 10th film, Jason X. The attempt was not successful, and it resulted in one of the worst movies of 2001, but at the very least, the wild swing should be acknowledged, even if it was ultimately a swing and a miss.
It also shouldn’t be mixed up with a 2018 film called Burning, which is classier and much better… and also not a horror movie. Still, if you want a good movie, watch Burning, or just about anything else. But if you want a painfully of its time, crass, and mind-numbingly simple slasher flick, The Burning is admittedly one you can watch with your brain pretty much turned off.
Funnily enough, it wasn’t the final nightmare either… at least not technically, with 1994’s New Nightmare being something kind of different and more meta, and then the 21st century seeing A Nightmare on Elm Street get a crossover movie with Friday the 13th and then a remake/reboot. As an intended finale, it’s laughable at best, but the increasingly cartoonish Freddy Krueger is a source of energy, and Robert Englund’s fun as always, playing the character.
It's a movie that shows how the series was still finding its footing… well, that’s the charitable reason. You could also say that the people behind A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge didn’t really know what they were doing, leading to series creator Wes Craven returning in a writer’s capacity to guide the superior A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors . But Freddy’s Revenge is an undeniable curiosity.
