He's right, you know. Why are horror movies so retarded? Even arthouse slow burn A24 shit is dumb as fuck.
Because horror it's self is a silly concept
What's an intelligent genre?
>>221085110Hard sci-fi like Solaris, 2001, Aniara or Moon.
>>221085075Name one (1) intelligent movie without retarded elements.
>>221085129
>>221085129>like Solaris
>>221085075Watched Longlegs, because good reviews and love Cage. Was pretty shit. Do critics grade horror differently? I know critic score isn't a great metric anyway. Fucking gay film.
>>221085131Naked Lunch
>>221085075We've had intelligent horror movies for decades, people are just too dumb to analyze them
>>221085250What's so intelligent about it?
the intelligent part of horror movies is that they have to be aware of audience expectations on a level that no other genre even has to considerManaging tension effectively and either paying off or subverting audience expectations requires the hand of a deft filmmaker to do in a satisfying way.
>>221085110Something that doesnt have to go>see get it. This is an allegory. We're explaining it to you because we think you're too dumb to come to that conclusion yourselfSomething that itself makes a person want to learn more>definitely not anything with ghosts or monsters that dont exist>ooh the monster is regret or shame oohSomething that doesnt have to rely on cheap tactics>audio strings or fakeouts because if you committed you know you lose the audiences attention
