I honestly didn't think American horror had it in them anymore.

Here's the thing, we've had many good horror movies over the years but while most of them were strong in imagination, in actual craft they've just been OK. (Funny enough, the last big critically acclaimed horror movie, It Follows, was the reverse, lol)

This reminds me of Mad Max in a way. In that case they couldda phoned it in with CGI, cheap explosions but instead it was a meticulously and lovingly crafted ode to films that blow shit up good.

70's horror was a wide spanning genre where an art film like Suspiria could sit next to Halloween. Since than it felt that there's usually a dominant subgenre (slasher flicks 80s, odes to same flicks 90's, gore porn in the 00's, ghost stories in the 10's) that were workman-like in execution. Good movies, but not made with that Fangoria type ove, nahmean?

This shit is pure uncut horror man. Only complaint I can see is that for some slasher flick used to cheap continuous payoffs every 10-15 minutes or so might find it slow moving. But the atmosphere they sprinkle from the first frame of the movie *insert salt bae gif*. AND WHEN THAT SHIT BUILDS UP, MY NIGGA
