very carefully

bring back german expressionism

Stop rebooting shit.
Focus on genuinely unsettling topics and explore them more deeply.
Don't cater to normies.

Go back to technicolour

By getting rid of it. The only good horror is shit like Hellraiser that also has strong fantasy or sci-fi elements. Just fucking get rid of it as a genre. It literally only exists because of sick fucks.

wow very spooky
water moving down a melting ice crust on a tree
true lovecraftian horror right there

A24 is already spearheading the best horror movies. What are you talking about?

Hereditary was a step in the right direction.
Original and not reliant on jump scares
Movie wasn't perfect but I'm excited to see more of that director since it was their first movie.

120fps. You can't be scared when the low frame rate is constantly reminding you that it's not real.

Ghosts turning trees into lava lamps and shit

less jumpscares
more tension

By moving past the media literate audiences perception of genre and producing movies without the concept of genre. We should be making stories we want to tell, which may be scary or unnerving, instead of setting out to make a horror film with a check list of scary genre conventions.

>NOOOOOOO
>YOU CAN'T DO JUMPSCARES

Shut up retard

This
Directors should think "we need to make a great film that also happens to be terrifying" instead of "we need to make a horror movie"

Jump scares are fine if there's a build up and aren't too many
Random screamers aren't interesting and get boring really quickly

the one with the blood test in The Thing is a prime exemplar

shut up idiot, it looks good
