"I'm done with the Horror/Suspense/Thriller Genre"
Wed Oct-14-20 03:13 PM by walihorse

  

          

I just finished watching the Haunting at Bly Manor and it solidified for me my dislike for horror.

I really get nothing from it. I don't feel anything other than laugher and annoyance. My suspension of disbelief aside (which is a big reason I think why I can't get into it), Its just boring to me.

The last horror movie, I liked was Hereditary, basically it felt like a true unescapable force and the ending was interesting to me.

I'm not sure if anyone else feels this way. Last horror movie that made me scared was Hellraiser when I was a kid, everything else is just hilarious, corny, nonsensical, or boring. Edit (forgot about the Shining, I watched that as a teen, that was a great scary movie, but no longer)

Any good horror recommendations, that might change my mind?

żIf a fat guy falls in the woods and there is no one around to see it, do the trees laugh?

Love the Alien franchise. Though I guess I don't consider it horror.
