Stop Calling This Film A Slasher Flick

as if that's a bad thing. Alien was exactly that, set in space, with an alien instead of a serial killer. Scott made Alien wanting to make 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre In Space.' That was the vibe he was going for.

So enough of your elitist crap.

'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings.

Predator is also sort of slasher-esque. This movie is keeping in the spirit of those films, except with the idiotic teenagers of most other slasher films. I think it's enjoyable for what it is (fun monster/slasher romp) and like it a lot more than AVP
