The Slayer is a 1982 horror film directed by J. S. Cardone. The film gained notoriety and was classified in the UK as a video nasty in the 1980s. Siblings, Eric and his surreal abstract artist sister Kay , her doctor husband David , her sister-in-law Brooke along with pilot Marsh become stranded on a rugged isle. For thirty-something Kay her current situation is her worst fears realised, for she's been troubled since her childhood by recurring prophetic nightmares in which she is stalked and slain in a burning room by figure known as The Slayer. Now it seems this place may be in fact its... dwelling and she's sure somehow that this so-called entity is lurking close by, biding its time until nightfull, where it will be drawn to Kay who dreams of its killings. But, then again, what's real or make believe? Not everything is what it seems in this place. The film has received mainly a positive critical reaction from online critics, despite the fact that it only holds a rating of 3.3/10 at the Internet Movie Database.
