Slashers bore me terribly. They need a solid gimmick to sustain my interest, a gimmick that makes the slashing secondary. Make the slasher a fish. Or a weird biomechanical lifecycle from space. Or a dream.
So, Nightmare on Elm Street, yet. It's imaginative, varied, and goes way beyond walky walky slashy slashy. But even my undefeatable love for John Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis cannot hook me to Halloween.
Edit : Also was just reminded of Don't Breathe, which gimmick also made it way more interesting than the usual slashers.
