slasher film
Masked murderer movie
A slasher film is a horror movie featuring a killer who stalks and murders victims, typically teenagers, one by one—often with a knife or blade.
The genre follows predictable patterns: an isolated setting, creative deaths, a masked or disfigured villain, and a "final girl" who survives.
We watched slasher films all Halloween weekend.
