What defines Slasher horror?

Slasher horror centers on a killer stalking and murdering a group of victims, often wielding bladed weapons. The subgenre is defined by tension-building pursuit sequences, a final-survivor arc, and the iconography of the unstoppable killer. In short film format, slasher works frequently strip the formula to its most efficient elements - isolation, dread, and a single deadly encounter.
