Census Bloodbath is my pride and joy. When I realized I'd seen a pitiful amount of films in my favorite genre (slashers) in their Golden Age (the 1980's), I embarked on a project to watch and review all of them. All. Of. Them. That's around 450 movies released in the ten year period between 1980 and 1989. Dear god, what am I doing to myself...
At the end of each year, I'm writing a wrap-up where I discuss the best and worst films of the year, the general style of the representative films of the year, and their place in the history of the genre overall.
Here you can find my list of completed reviews in alphabetical order by year as I get to them. Enjoy!
