Does anyone think new horror will get good again?
Hello,
OK, so look, I'm going to qualify this statement with the realization that my first attempt at producing and directing a horror feature was not 100% succesful. It has some plot holes, some mediocre scenes, and overall is decent but not amazing.
That said, I now bring an important question:
Where have all the good horror films gone? Will the "Hollywood Establishment" ever again embrace serious horror, or does it think we're satisfied with a few nuggets here and there like Devil's Rejects or Exorcism of Emily Rose?
Arg! 28 Days Later was some good serious horror. Cabin Fever was more of a gross-out film, but still good. I'll even give some props to Final Destination.
But for the most part, we're pretty screwed here. I understand that money is the reason for the mainstay of Hollywood Horror, the cute "faux-horror" titles like Scream 6 and House of Wax as well as the Numerous Bad Remakes.
I'm just wondering if anyone actually thinks we'll ever have a resurgence of great horror.
Cheers...
Jim
