Horror is dead


I'm so tired of most all new horror movies about 90 percent of them are demons or ghosts honestly when are they going to come up with something new. Not to let mention ghosts and demons are as believable as big foot. These movies try to scare people with cheap sounds or things magically popping up and I'm just kinda tired of them but somehow all the horror movies that keep coming out either have ghosts or demons which just isn't scary at all.

Ok, not to bring back something old for a comparison, but can someone please suggest a modern horror/psycological thriller that can stand up to the shining?

I agree! "These movies try to scare people with cheap sounds" So true. Because of the cheap sounds they have to lower the volume of the dialog to make the cheap sounds more effective. The 2 main characters spend most of the time whispering to each other. Totally ruined the movie for me. I rated it 1 star on IMDB. Such a shame. It could have been a great movie otherwise.

You can't be serious right now...

The Loved Ones (2009), American Mary (2012), Excision (2012), Teeth (2007), Inside (2007)--all horror movies that blow everything else out of the water. All are, in my opinion, criminally underrated as well.

The point? You are watching the wrong kind of horror movies. You cannot rely on every mainstream release to satisfy. The best horror movies are the ones very few have seen or given a chance because of lukewarm IMDB ratings.

I agree - bit maybe you should check out more foreign horrors or low budget/independent ones - they tend to have far more care put into them then these tacky flicks made for money.

I don't think the genre is dead, but I think they are doing a good job of destroying horror's image.

I Sympathise with Lars Von Trier.

There was always more good than bad.

You do realize there's more good than bad there as well right?

Its called gotcha horror, it would be like someone jumping out of a dark space to scare you. Movies like Poltergeist and Pumpkinhead were much scarier.

LOL ! I bet you havent seen a good foreing horror for example. Tired of this boring users talking without a basis or evidence. Hollywood horror is not the only horror we gor, theres more, expand you knowledge. Besides where the hell you take that statistic, saying 90 percent of horror nowadays are about ghosts or demons?? Anyways, watch more horror films.

People that says nowadays horror sucks, definitely havent look any further. Yes, Annabelle is terrible, but thats the only horror we got in front of our eyes now. Best horrors are down there hidden, not up there showing.
