I think I'm going to have to say Terror Train!
One issue about many revenge slashers is that since the killer is out to get these people, they usually do something wrong and are a lot of times unlikable. Slaughter High is a good example. Don't get me wrong: I LOVE the film :D It's fun frakkin' times, but I didn't really care much for the characters.
Terror Train has the revenge thing going on, but it also has a great heroine in Jamie Lee Curtis and some fun and likable characters. I also like how the heroine feels regret over what they did in the past.

Completely agree. You have to have some emotion for the characters in order for a revenge slasher to work. If you hate all the characters, who really cares who lives and who dies? As for a movie like Slaughter High...it is dumb, cheesy, and over-the-top but it works because it is fun as hell. The rare slasher in which an unlikable cast doesn't interfere with the movie...at least TOO much.

Gonna go with Happy Birthday to Me. Characters are all fun and I love the twist at the end. For the record my fav revenge movie is The Crow
shareYou can never go wrong with the Happy Birthday to Me ending!
