How do we fix the horror genre?
And no. IT chapter two doesn't look very good
How do we fix the horror genre?
the horror genre is dead because no one other than mongoloid retards would ever be scared watching a movie
More psychological,less superficial-
more jumpscares
Out with the demons and paranormal. Also, fuck a jump scare.
more immersive theatre experiences
Just make a movie about a white guy walking through rubbish strewn streets and being harassed by coloured people.
All movie long they're trying to mug him and take his shit.
There's even an attempted rape on his daughter, who he is trying to get to an evacuation point.
The only other white person you see is a white women with a vacant 10,000 cock stare after being gangraped for days.
Then the big reveal at the end of the movie is him turning a corner to show Big Ben in the distance.
More shit like the poughkeepsie tapes.
>t. didn't watch It Follows and A Quiet Place
it needs no fixing
Still haven't checked this out because I forget about it. Writing it down now and will try and watch it this weekend, I'm always down for a solid horror flick. My only gripe for them is they hold up worst than any other genre for rewatching imo
>it follows
It was good for the first 2/3
It seems like no one can figure out how to end a horror movie
The twist. Audibly keked
KINO
it's because nothing is scarier than people's imagination, the climax of most horror films will usually reveal what it is that we're supposed to have been fearing
in the case of it follows, we finally see what happens when the creature touches you, and it sucked. When it comes to horror, less is always more. It's why the blair witch project continues to be the scariest mainstream horror movie of recent times, despite it being over 20 years old.
Even hereditary had the same problem, the climax of toni collette flying all around the house and jumping up the walls just wasn't scary
As a ling time horror fan, I think anthologies need to return.
YouTube and the short horrors found on it are the future of horror. Lovecraft understood that the longer horror stories go the less scary the become. Great horror is done in small intense bursts before your mind has time to become acclimated to it.
I would also like to see some classic tropes return especially Slashers like Friday thd 13th and body horror like the Fly and the Thing.
Also IT ch2 looks good you tasteless nigger.
Bet you are one of these pussies tgaf can't handle jumpscares so you cry "b...b...but muh psychological horror".
We stop trying to appeal to normies (RE2make) and start catering to real survival horror fans (RE1make).
Horror video games >>>>>>>> Horror movies
Cowards.
The anti jumpscare kids are such little chickenshits. I'm sorry you shit yourself from loud noises.
Bet you faggots hide in the comments when watching fnaf like little bitch ass females.
Everyone sees through you when you complain about jumpscares. You aren't fooling anyone, pussies.
Jumpscares can be just as effective as anything else. And they are time honored classic tropes.
More psychological, less haunted house
I wish there was more horror films dedicated to throwing off the viewers comfort level through " hidden in plain sight" visuals or sounds just, only a little, inside the reach of human understanding.
Like a painting changing shape, shadows moving across the wall with nobody watching, animal sounds that also come off as incredibly human, symbolic events when something is nearby (lights flicker twice when an enemy is nearby, longer flickers means its approaching fast)...
I'm also a horrorlet, I don't know of any methodical horror other than Blair Witch and REC.
Yes it does
Always with dolls and "creepy" children nowadays. Blumhouse has a couple decent unique horror films, going to see Ma next week.
More creature features that aren’t sci do channel original trash.
*Sci fi
Does Eyes Wide Shut count as a horror movie? That one really bothered me more than any other scary movie. I'd love to see more things with that same feel to them.
this needs to be made
Seems the proper way to improve horror movies is to give them the sopranos treatment at a random point during the climax
>Homo Demens
>Mad Man
I was just thinking today how the horror and comedy genre both are dead. Can’t think of any decent movies in the past 10 years.
stop trying to make horror movies
Look back to all the best horror movies. Most of them aren't remembered for their horror. They are remembered for cool set and monster designs, unique directorial decisions, and being generally good movies.
Just make a good movie that's also horror.
no one is afraid of jumpscares and anyone who's seen more than five movies can see them coming every single time
I was meme'd into watching this. I watched it years ago with a horny STI ridden stoner who's famously slutty in the town. She stank of cheap weed and she wouldn't stop talking nonsense. She was a total retard but I was hard the entire time as I slowly touched her closer and closer to what I'd learn was the roastiest roasty vagina I've ever seen. I avoided kissing her, as her unclean braces made the weed smell worse, but she would touch me in ways I didn't yet know existed, especially my perineum. I was a virgin so I insisted that she didn't take off my pants, which only turned me on even further. I took off her clothes, to which she acted shy, and she had small and average boobs and, under thick and curly black pubes, the longest labia I've ever witnessed. Breathtaking. She was impossibly wet. It was as if she was built for sex. Such a slut. I allowed her to give me the best handjob I've had in my life and she taught me what a blowjob could actually feel like when performed with admirable skill. I haven't seen her ever since. I'm afraid I might have ruined my experience of the Poughkeepsie tapes forever, which is sad because I love found footage, but it's true that it requires a certain mood.
>It seems like no one can figure out how to end a horror movie
the fuck are you talking about the ending is incredible
>Just make a good movie
That is not a sustainable business model. Good is subjective. So if you make a good movie, the next quarter's movie would have to be even better to compete with the last, capping out at a point where no one could make a good movie anymore, and the only way to move forward would be collapse and abandoning entertainment for a while.
Thus, our current model, all movies are barely more than mediocre and forgettable so the audiences keep coming back.
Sure bud.
Don't piss yourself pussy.
>How do we fix the horror genre?
Stop making thinly veiled interracial propaganda
The Insidious sound track might be the most terrifying thing to ever come out of Hollywood. Shit makes my skin crawl.
>Less Jumpscares
>More cerebral and psychological.
>make the audience question everything
>Make it thrilling
-Throw out the found footage movie genre once and for all.
>we
Kill yourself faggot.
but that's the only thing that scares "white" people anymore.
Is this from the House of Leaves adaptation? Also
House of Leaves adaptation.
Why is this unnerving?
>finding anything wrong with your picture
I see american education is going strong
Why on earth would a company not wonder whether biotech (ie complete removal of any ailment) would reduce profits?
have sex
because they're in it for something other than money. ya know, that thing that is only useful if something can be done with it.
