Either from the past or more modern. I just saw a pretty good one called Intruder (1989) on Tubitv. It's set inside a grocery store and has some interesting things going on, and while it does have a downer ending, it does kind of deconstruct slasher cliches.

My wife and I try to find the worst low budget 80s Slasher movies every October -- nothing in the F13, Freddy, or Halloween series basically (or any other mega popular entries)
So far some of our favorites have been -
Nail Gun Massacre - Soooooooooo bad. Dialogue is terrible. Acting makes any porno you've ever seen look like Oscar nominated material. A must watch for "so bad it's good" fans.
Nightmare Beach - A well made if not terribly original slasher set at Springbreak with a biker serial killer who fries everyone to death with his motorcycle.
The entire Sleepaway Camp series, especially the 2nd and 3rd ones with Bruce Springsteen's (yes, really) little sister playing a great off her meds, and hilarious killer.
The Prowler - kind of a slow prodding movie, but dug the killer in the military getup.
The Slumber Party Massacre Series - The first one is a decent (per slasher standards) horror flick and the driller killer is a solid menacing presence. The second one is just whacked out madness and again, so bad its good.

It’s a little debatable if it’s really a slasher film, but “Detention” is a recent one that is absolutely batshit and a lot of fun to watch.

It’s a modern movie but I really enjoyed The Final Girl starring Taissa Farmiga.  |

Deep Red. It’s well known in Italy but not so much in the US. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was.

The entire Sleepaway Camp series, especially the 2nd and 3rd ones with Bruce Springsteen's (yes, really) little sister playing a great off her meds, and hilarious killer. The outhouse death in SC2 might be the nastiest and most humiliating death I've seen in any movie ever. It’s a modern movie but I really enjoyed The Final Girl starring Taissa Farmiga. The Last Action Hero of the slasher genre. The kicker is, it's PG-13, but you'd never know it with how well-done it is. Had a blast watching this one. |

The Prowler and The Burning are personal favorites. In my head canon George Costanza is actually Dave from The Burning. His family had to change their names in witness protection and the events of the movie left him a neurotic mess.

The Prowler - kind of a slow prodding movie, but dug the killer in the military getup. Came here to say The Prowler, which was one of Tom Savini's first movies and the kills remain bloody (pardon the pun) impressive. |

I guess it's not exactly lesser known, but The Burning should be more popular than it is.

May. An excellent 2002 film about a young woman whose failed attempts at making friends lead her to, um, making her own.

There's a criminally underappreciated movie from the 80s called "Alone in the Dark", with Jack Palance, Martin Landau, Dwight "Howling Mad Barclay" Schultz, that electric guy from "The Running Man", and Donald Pleasance. I'm not even sure it's on DVD right now. Great movie, no connection to the game or Uwe Bowel.

I watched one called Cold Prey back in October and wasn't familiar with it before then.

Bay Of Blood (aka Twitch Of The Death Nerve) - kind of a proto-slasher movie, I'm big on Mario Bava anyway but very enjoyable movie
Bloody Birthday - not perfect but found it really enjoyable

Fade to Back (1980) I've since gone on to become friends with the leading lady so it holds a special place in my heart.  |

My Bloody Valentine (definitely watch the uncut one) |
