Hmm...

Just Before Dawn, it's got a great atmosphere even though it takes a while to "get started," make the sound of whistling terrifying (If you're into gore, search for the uncut version; if you don't care, try and find the 2-disk!)

Keep watching F13 movies

the French film Inside and the Italian film Tenebre (They're not exactly "slashers", but they do have a single main killer committing several murders)

Valentine is a better-than-average "modern slasher"

Get into the Child's Play series

----

I'll probably think of more later, do you have more specific preferences on what you want to see?

I'm going w/ pretty much everything unless it is 2 splatter...some gore I don't mind, however, it definitely upsets me when they abuse of that...let's just say I have priorly skipped the "Saw" and "Hostels" sagas 4 that reason(I don't really c the point in the torture n'all)
THANX a lot!!! Keep suggesting!!!

Well a word of warning then - If you're not up for splatter I'd say steer away from Inside and maybe Tenebre. The former isn't torture, but it does have blood coming out the wazoo, all over everywhere

I'll c about that then, after all I am Italian and I might enjoy it. I think I could handel blood...i hope
nice lists
Oh man, you need to see Psycho, Halloween, The Prowler, The Burning, Sleepaway Camp and Alien. Good slasher movies.
