Horror movies arent great anymore

Yeah, I know what you mean. A lot of horror films consist of this plot these days-
*Loud noise/jump scare*
*Character gets scared only to realize that it was something silly like a cat, dog, etc...*
*Monster/killer appears. Insert another jump scare here*
*Monster/killer kills character. Insert screaming and/or lots of blood and guts*
*Repeat for the next few hours*
This doesn't really help keep me entertained due to my very sort attention span.

Go on a search and look for all the horror movies you missed seeing and track them down and watch them.

Better then sitting through 1.5 hours of 'The Village' type crap.

ya i like scares that like get in my skin i dunno hard to explain

rented land of the dead dont know why tunred it off 20 minutes into the movie thats more proof that horror movies suck

The only new horror movies I have really liked are ''wrong turn'' and ''creep'''

ya wrong turn was pritty decent

"The Ring" was quite scary. "The Others" was very good too. There's a couple but imo too many horror and scifi movies rely too heavily on special effects which invariably wreck them and make you feel like you're watching a cartoon. So, I agree, most horror movies aren't worth your time.

The ring was okay but nothing ground breaking by any means.......

So... you agree then. Quite scary.

Let me ask you kmcdude: What one does "break new groud" as you say and what do you mean by that expression anyways? Do you mean like "sets a new standard" or "raises the bar"? I geuss "Blair Witch" could be considered that way when it first came out because of the way it was so different. Any other's since then you think broke new ground or set a new standard? Of course "The Exorcist" and "The SHining" from way back were probably groundbreakers, right? I would say "The Others" was damn close or right on as well.

Thanks

when i was in grade 4 i saw the fly for the first time it freaked me out

hmmm....interesting post.........I absolutely agree with you on Blair witch,it did set a new standard and for that reason I am a HUGE fan of this movie,even though I watched half of the sequel and turned it off 😂 I personally think ''The Exorcist'' is an over rated piece of crap,''The shining'' I have not seen for so long,I wont comment on it,but nothing much comes to mind when I think of it....

Now movies that set standards......One that comes straight of the top of my head is ''Halloween'' This movie is the GOD of slashers,also the original ''Pchyco'' Again this is all only my opinion and thanks to who ever takes the time to read the post.
