Then we have three more scheduled genre film clubs on these dates...

• Thur 04-04

• Tue 22-04

• Thur 24-04

Rather than dictate what we watch on these occasions, though, we thought it would be best if YOU decided. Each of these screenings will be a STUDENT CHOICE from the following...

Peeping Tom (Michael Powell, 1960, 101)
Britain's answer to 'Psycho', and the killer's phallic murder weapon is a camera tripod!

Black Christmas (1974, Bob Clark, 98 mins.)
Introduces most of the slasher staples before 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre'.

When A Stranger Calls (1979, Fred Walton, 91 mins.)
The creepy opening phone sequence inspires the later 'Scream'.

I Know What You Did Last Summer (Jim Gillespie, 1997, 100 mins.)
Second most successful franchise of the 90s slasher cycle.

Psycho (Gus Van Sant, 1998, 105 mins.)
Shot-for-shot remake of the original, un homage to the "granddaddy of the slasher genre."

My Little Eye (Marc Evans, 2002, 95 mins.)
Slasher meets reality-TV in this British-Canadian low budget movie.

Switchblade Romance (aka Haute Tension) (Alexandre Aja, 2003, 91 mins)
The French can do slasher too (naturellement).

Wolf Creek (Greg McLean, 2005, 99 mins.)
And the Aussies.

Hostel (Eli Roth, 2005, 94 mins.)
One of the most significant of the new 'torture porn'/'painography' genre that is superseding slasher.

When A Stranger Calls (Simon West, 2006, 87 mins.)
Remake of the 'golden age' era movie.

Black Christmas (Glen Morgan, 2006, 84 mins.)
And another remake!
