Moonstalker
During the winter season, a family camping in the woods, and a group of camp counselors training in the same forest both find themselves being killed one by one by an unhinged psycho.
Why it matters
A raw, late-’80s slasher that trades polish for relentless, grimy tension and relentless kill count.
- A prototypical small-town psycho slasher with zero frills, capturing that pre-digital era’s analog dread.
- Gritty practical effects that lean into gore without the gloss — a throwback to the era’s grindhouse roots.
- Perfect for fans who dig their slashers lean and mean, without the meta-commentary or elaborate backstory.
- A winter woods setting that cranks the isolation and cold dread, amplifying the kill scenes’ brutality.
