12 Hidden Horror Movies You’ve Probably Never Seen
3. Killer Movie
There are few things better in the world of horror than a solid meta-slasher.
Something about the simplicity of the sub genre's "man in mask murders teens" set up means it's ripe for re-invention and self referential riffing, and everything from Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon to Return to Horror High to the critically acclaimed blockbuster Scream series are testament to this fact.
As is the underrated Killer Movie, a 2008 meta-slasher which did little business upon release but is surprisingly funny and scary, boasts a cast including Kaley Cuoco, Paul Wesley, and Leighton Meester, and features some unexpectedly tense scenes and clever writing.
