10 Overlooked Horror Slasher Movies That Deserve Your Attention

A criminally overlooked psycho-drama that relishes in high-camp and well-worn slasher tropes, this is one of the Video Nasty era's lost masterpieces.

Taking the form of a contemporary Oedipus tale, this film sees high-schooler Billy Lynch caught in a spiral of murder and mayhem after his overly protective - and quite handsy - aunt Cheryl stabs a man to death in their home who refused her sexual advances. This incident seems to send Cheryl over the edge and Billy finds bodies piling up around him as his aunt's less than savoury desires are thrust upon him.

Unlike many other entries on this list, this one has a little more going on under the hood, with themes of incest, repressed sexuality, and homophobia being thrown in amongst all the blood-soaked carnage - as well as a fairly unique, and highly positive, spin on the traditional 'final girl' trope that makes Butcher Baker, Nightmare Maker one of the most interesting films of its time period.

A recent Blu-ray release of the film has allowed it to surface from the murky depths of slasher history, but even with it being more readily available to the masses, it still remains criminally underseen.
