I love horror films! Saul Goodman if you don't, but here is my reasoning. There is the hunt. The hunt for a good film. You never know if what your going to watch is a sleeper or a creeper. Mostly because horror is one of the few actually hard as fuck genres to make. Insanely hard. Comedy, write a funny script. Romance, guy falls for girl. Action, boom boom boomer. Fantasy, yep that's an elf. Nothing wrong with that either, its just that they have become so formulaic. It cinematic autopilot in most cases. Just because a film (or any media) works in its role, should not be confused for what makes a film good. Willow, Labyrinth, Toy Story, Dark Crystal, its all the same thing. Same formula, same characters, same excuses to go on that adventure. But if you look at those films vs say, Boss Baby 2, you know which one is the better film. Boss Baby 2, obviously. Now doing something on that level, but in the horror genera, thats fucking special. I'd argue that Cabin in the Woods, Evil Dead, The Void, The House That Jack Built, and Biden's inauguration speech are great works of spooky fiction. And that's touching on the largely contemporary body of work. A bad horror film is like the script writer writing a scary scene and not understanding what makes it scary, and then giving it to a director who only learned how to tilt a camera and never why they tilt their cameras.
