Several classic slasher movies have intentionally broken some of the genre’s firmly established rules and conventions, with very unsettling results.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The slasher genre is renowned for adhering to strict parameters, yet some classic movies have flouted many of the horror genre's conventions. Horror has always pushed the boundaries of acceptability and creativity but typically adheres to its own rules. Some infamous slasher movies, however, have completely broken the genre's established tropes - with terrifying results.
9 Peeping Tom Peeping Tom Depicted The Killer's Perspective Released the same year as Psycho, the British movie Peeping Tom also established essential aspects of the slasher genre. One that had not been seen previously, however, is the shift in perspective to the killer's point of view. Before Peeping Tom, horror movies kept a clear divide between the killer and the audience. This often suggested that the killer was a wholly inhuman monster with no similarity or affinity to the audience.
6 The Cabin In The Woods The Cabin In The Woods Shattered The Slasher Conventions The Cabin in the Woods was full of twists and turns, most notably during The Cabin in the Woods' enigmatic ending. The movie toyed with the genre's conventions throughout, purposely evolving characters to suggest they would follow the genre's rules and character-types before completely undermining them.
