A Night to Dismember (1983)
1

Doris Wishman
The perfect example of everything that could possibly be wrong in a movie. As I stated above, if you like incoherent storytelling, a lot of shots of people's feet, and dubbing not far off from...
Aerobicide (1986)
4

David A. Prior
This is basically half slasher and half cheesy 80's action flick, because we see more fists flying than we do dead bodies. At least the countless close-ups of cleavage helped mend the horrible...
Alone in the Dark (1982)
6

Jack Sholder
A good 80s slasher. Unoriginal and predictable plot, but has a good cast and an interesting story. Check this out if you're looking for something to rent.
Bodycount (1984)
4

Ruggero Deodato
Basic horror flick with teens going to camp and ending up getting killed. They tried to add a few twists in it, but failed. I thought the movie wasn't anything new, but it was still fun to watch...
Clownhouse (1988)
7

Victor Salva
A surprisingly entertaining movie. If you have a fear of clowns I recommend you check this film, so you care scare the crap outta yourself.
Curtains (1983)
4

Richard Ciupka
Decent film with a somewhat cool killer. Could have been a lot better. Not really recommended unless you got nothing else to rent.
Dead Pit (1989)
7

Brett Leonard
A cool underated zombie flick with an interesting twist towards the end. I recommend you guys check this film out if you can.
Eyes of a Stranger (1981)
6

Ken Wiederhorn
Another underrated slasher from the 80s. Decent death scenes and a believable story and killer. Worth a rent, especially to see a young Jennifer Jason Leigh.
Final Exam (1981)
4

Jimmy Huston
If bad dialogue, horrible pranks and long extended scenes of students walking are your film "musts", then by all means this is your "Citizen Kane".
Friday the 13th (1980)
8

Sean S. Cunningham
Friday the 13th may have its fair share of flaws, but its entertainment value, along with the place it's created for itself in the genre's history, make this film required viewing for all...
Grandmother's House (1989)
6

Peter Rader
A flawed, but underrated 80's slasher that offers an interesting mystery in the first half that keeps the viewer guessing, while the second half becomes your standard, plot-hole ridden and...
He Knows You're Alone (1980)
6

Armand Mastroianni
Good underrated 80s slasher. Not as cliched as most; the killer doesn't wear a dumb mask. Tom Hank's debut is also in this towards the end. Rent this if you're looking for a good...
Hide and Go Shriek (1988)
6

Skip Schoolnik
A somewhat above average slasher flick. Has a few cool moments here and there and leads to a very strange ending. Check this film out if you can.
Home Sweet Home (1981)
4

Netie Pena
Home Sweet Home is definitely not a good movie, but it's an incredibly hilarious and fun one to watch due to the numerous unintentionally funny scenes, and let's face it, the genre is low...
Hospital Massacre (1982)
6

Boaz Davidson
Good style, creepy atmosphere. Wasted screen time, silly props, decent chase scene. Nowhere near as effective as "Halloween II" in showcasing isolation or a sense of panic as staff members...
House of Death (1983)
3

David Nelson
A boring 80's slasher. Deaths are plain and the characters are annoying. Don't waste your time with this.
I, Madman (1989)
7

Tibor Takács
A guilty pleasure. Cheesy, but has an interesting and original plot for a slasher flick. Worth a rent.
Intruder (1988)
8

Scott Spiegel
Personally one of the best slasher films I've seen. There's lots of killing and plenty of gore. Some humor here and there and an interesting twist at the end. I'd recommend this movie...
Just Before Dawn (1981)
6

Jeff Lieberman
One of the better backwoods-type slashers, but slow in parts. Still worth a check if you're a fan of 80's slashers and if you're lookin' to see an early version of Wrong Turn.
Madman (1981)
6

Joe Giannone 
Not a bad 80s slasher. A few plot holes, but entertaining none-the-less. The madman character was quite interesting and funny at the same time. Check this film out if you're into Friday the 13th...
New Year's Evil (1980)
6

Emmett Alston
This is an unconventional 80's slasher that offers an interesting story and follows a very flawed human killer. The deaths aren't particularly gory, but that didn't really matter since...
Next of Kin (1982)
5

Tony Williams
This is a mystery-thriller essentially masquerading as a slasher. I was pretty bored by the entire first hour of the film, as not much happens in it, except for a couple old people dying, some...
Night Warning (1983)
6

William Asher
This turned out to be a nice little hidden 80's gem. The premise was interesting and dealt with a couple things we didn't see often in the genre. Although not as gory as I'd like, the...
Rush Week (1989)
6

Bob Bralver
A good rent if you're into 80's slasher movies. Not very original, but not many slashers are. The killer wasn't too bad either.
Scream (1981)
2

Byron Quisenberry
A horrible slasher movie. The story is predictable and unoriginal, the killer is a bore, there is nothing positive about this. Avoid!
Silent Scream (1980)
5

Denny Harris
Another seemingly unheard-of slasher to come out of the 80's, but maybe it's unheard of for a reason? Too boring, and with its lack of blood and gore, why bother? Not recommended.
Sleepaway Camp (1983)
8

Robert Hiltzik
You might think of it as a F13 wannabe with a title like Sleepaway Camp and a cover with a bloody knife stuck through a shoe, but it's no where near F13. I definitely recommend this film for any...
Splatter University (1984)
4

Richard W. Haines
This is your typical 80's slasher that bares the average clichés and predictable that you've seen a dozen times before. Not recommended.
Stage Fright (1982)
6

Michele Soavi 
Not a bad film. One of the better 80s slashers. Check this out.
The Burning (1981)
6

Tony Maylam
Not a bad slasher flick. Definitely a ripoff of Friday the 13th, but this is actually one of the better ripoffs. Try to catch this film UNCUT if you can. I wasn't lucky enough to catch it.
The House on Sorority Row (1983)
7

Mark Rosman
The House on Sorority Row is a stylish, well crafted slasher from the early 80s heyday that’s able to rise above its clichéd material. While it’s by no means overtly bloody or violent, it’s shooting...
The Initiation (1984)
7

Larry Stewart
A very underrated 80's slasher film. Pretty original story and a killer that DOESN'T wear a mask. Cool twist at the end. Recommended if you can find it.
The Majorettes (1986)
5

S. William Hinzman
The flick starts off as an incredibly dull 80's slasher, but half-way through takes an interesting turn into greed and revenge, making it stand-out among the standard 80's slasher. A decent...
The Mutilator (1983)
5

Buddy Cooper
Decent 80s slasher, but very cliched and predictable. If you want to see this, try to catch the uncut version.
The Stepfather (1987)
7

Joseph Ruben
This is a memorable underrated 80s horror film that deserves a SE DVD treatment in the US. Check this film out if you can get your hands on it.
Truth or Dare (1986)
1

Tim Ritter
A really cheap, crappy movie. Bad acting, very bad directing. Everything in this film is laughable. I wouldn't even call it horror. Don't bother with this. Ever!
Visiting Hours (1981)
7

Jean-Claude Lord
A good underrated slasher flick. Lots of good suspense and good performances from Michael Ironside and Lee Grant. Worth a check if you're looking for a smart 80's slasher.
