In the "origins" section, there is the following ambiguous sentence:
"Maurice Tourneur's The Lunatics (1912) used visceral violence to attract the Guignol's audience; films like this eventually led to public outcry in the United States, eventually passing the Hays Code in 1930."
Grammatically, this sentence literally says that "The Lunatics" was what passed the Hays Code, when what is meant is that the United States passed the Hays Code. A clearer way of phrasing this would be:
I've tagged several statements and items that require a clean-up in this article. So much of it is just material stating films were financial success or not, assuming why or why not they may have been this, then citing box office mojo and rotten tomatoes. There is no mention of this in their respective sources, nor is there mention of them even belonging to the slasher genre. A real over view needs to be done to make this less like it was written from a fan perspective. I've dumped out just listing international productions as just saying this country released this or that, doesn't really add up to much. Andrzejbanas (talk) 15:17, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
