[Podcast] THE TERMINATOR (1984)

Spoiler Alert! The Terminator (1984) is a slasher film. You can disagree all you want but on this week’s episode of Nightmare on Film Street, your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon (well, mostly just Jon. Kimmi might still be unconvinced) lay out their case as to why James Cameron’s monumental sci-fi/action stunner is totally a horror movie.

Here’s a brief outline of the argument: The Terminator is a slasher villain because he is an unstoppable, expressionless killing machine, just like Michael Myers. He only walks but always catches up with his victims, just like Jason Voorhees (not to mention that bullets cannot stop him). And maybe the most damning evidence of all- he’s trying to stop two young lovers from having premarital sex by killing everyone around them with ruthless brutality! Still not convinced???
