slasher flick
Killer stalks teens
A slasher flick 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 emerged in the late 1970s with films like *Halloween* and *Friday the 13th*, establishing conventions: masked killers, final girls who survive, and creative death sequences.
