I know Foo's argument that I could agree with was that is was the "Perfect Slasher", meaning it checks all the boxes of what one would like/expect in a prototype slasher, but not necessarily that it's the greatest ever.

a perfect encapsulation of slasher movie tropes rather than the perfect slasher, i can get more behind.

Is there such a thing as the perfect slasher film?

We just established, it is F13 Part 4!

As I just told Z, in my opinion such a film cannot exist because everyone will not agree.

Is Part 4 missing a trope or element in which you love from a slasher?

It's the best F13 sequel but it's missing the one thing I love most about a Slasher film. The mystery of figuring out who is the killer. I love Jason Voorhees, he's my favorite of the 80's horror movie monsters. But this film is not even in my top 5 slashers because of that alone. The original F13 kept the mystery up until the final act and did it in a great way. I have always enjoyed the mystery and sadly so many films give it away too early.

But as I said earlier, it's subjective. Everyone's taste in films are different.

Why would giallo get the credit for that? Hitchcock and countless others did it better before.

because those others you speak of, don't have a neat subgenre tag to place them into neatly. of course!

While giallo does involve murder/mystery, it's mostly defined by its stylized nature.

it would be cool to set something up to celebrate. i don't know what that would look like except maybe a group watch of fvsj or something, if we can manage it. but i don't know. still cool that some of us have stuck together for so long.
