Triple Slash: Intruder, Nikos, Laid to Rest

Intruder (1989)
Scott Spiegel gives us this pretty good and gory slasher.
The story is about some killer entering in a supermarket at night and he starts killing everybody.
I highly reccomend you to avoid the spoilers, because there is a great final twist.
Don't expect gore every minute, but when the gore shows up, it's worth the wait:





Highly reccomended to slasher fans, oh, don't get fooled by marketing strategies, the awesome Bruce Campbell is NOT the main star of the movie, you only see Bruce in the end, you don't even get a close up of his face !


Nikos the Impaler (2003)
Andreas Schnaas (well known for the Violent Shit Trilogy, Zombie'90), delivers this entertaining gore-fest.
The plot involves a barbarian killer who resurrects in New York and he starts a killing spree !






The concept of a slasher movie taking place in a big city (like New York) is interesting, the movie Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan tried to execute this concept, but it failed.

With a lower budget, Schnaas did a good job in executing this conecpt, with loads of gore, some humour and more !
Unfortunately, the movie has some awful use of CGI, very cheesy.
Reccomended if you want a mindless gore-fest.
The ending is unbelievable, again, avoid the spoilers.


Laid to Rest (2009)
The best horror movie of the decade, 2 thums up to Robert Hall.
The gore is good and the story is interesting: a girl wakes up in a coffin and a masked killer (Chromeskull, in my opinion, the coolest masked killer ever !) wants to kill her.....
Every kill of the movie has a good dose of gore to show.







This is one of the few slasher movies where it's good in both gore and story department.
I don't have more to say, you must check this out by yourself, reccomended to EVERY slasher and horror fans.
