Horror is Satanic. It’s a tool of The Secret Societies to make your soul vulnerable to demonic possession.

>>223196270
Horror usually does reflect the subconscious fears and anxieties of the generation that creates it.

Elevated horror just gives it training wheels and puts the crib notes into the text of the film.

From what I can tell it's the term for horror movies where nothing scary happens and they have "deep" social commentary.
>>
>>223196270
Didn't it start with Exorcist/Shining as non-slashers, creature features, or variations of monkey's paw MORALITY tales? This meme is doing 3rd wave DEI shit, but horror was often about faith/belief systems (Omen was a franchise), including political system is a matter of faith in the "process" lol.

but yeah, genuinely, the trauma allegory thing needs to stop. no one's allowed to be traumatized anymore. it's so lazy.
>>
The thing with 3rd wave DEI shit, is the proponents never had to build culture from scratch. When you do that, survival from ground up, you don't get everything right from the start. History (non-Rothschild etc version) includes a process of moving toward improving that first + successive draft.

Im liberal, gays deserve equal rights. This zoomer obsession with tops and bottoms is the gayest thing ever though. A fag is a fag. The idea you are less gay weather you are pitching or catching is the dumbest brownest most homosexual talking point Ive ever seen.
The amount of uppity aids filled fagots that have this hierchy is mindblowing to my millenial ass.
But you know, you do you. I liked the fag on Happy Endings.
>>
>>223196666
I think that attitude that horror films cannot be artsy is ridiculous and ironically the root of the problem. Nobody who actually loves horror films has a problem with The Exorcist, Cat People, The Wicker Man, The Thing or any of the many other horror films are genuine works of art. A truly great horror film can be enjoyed simply for being a good spooky time AND can be appreciated for its artisty. The Exorcist can be watched as a straightforward demonic possession movie purely for the thrills, but it also has the subtext of puberty, sexual abuse and divorce. The film doesn't think your a retard, hold your hand and spell out "The demon is actually x" because first of all thats lame and dumb, and two because it respects the audience's intelligence (a quality sorely lacking in today's cinema).
"Eleveted" horror to me is a very specific and extremely recent phenomenon of horror films defined by a fixation with familial dysfunction and psychology/muh trauma typically presented as a ham fisted allegory devoid of subtext (le monster is actually a manifestation of my heckin post partum depression!!!1!). Often it feels like the film is embarrassed to be a horror film at all, leading to a genuinely pretentious feeling where the film is desperately saying "I'm not like the other horror films" while adhering rigidly to this new formula.

I know this shit is bait but I cannot for the life of mine understand how anyone can enjoy Noroi. At first, the constant suspense and buildup is really great but halfway through (at the latest) you realize that suspense is all there is and you won't be getting any pay off and then it just gets super boring until the finale.
>>
>>223197412
Just say “woke horror= elevated horror.”
>>
>>223197237
I like the ones that aren't subtle like Lee Cronin's The Mummy where the subtext was a family being reunited with their child who was sex trafficked and now she's fucked up for life and a real drag to have around.

Also, Evil Dead Rise was NOT good enough for this queer to start sticking his name in the movie title.

I think this is updated but the old inspired me to watch it comes at night as I really liked Herriditary and Witch. Worst horror film I've ever seen. It was so bad it ruined other horror films for me. Constant dream sequence jump scares. Horror films with a dream sequence I now immediately think of as trash after getting 15 of them in a row for that sbsolute shit film. Whoever put it on this list should be shot in the face.

>>223197485
Candyman would be considered "woke" by the retarded chuds on this board, and yet it is not elevated horror. The subtext is not even remotely subtle, but it is objectively a well made film and is not embarrassed to be horror.

The line about how ''media should make you uncomfortable'' shows just what kind of spiteful creatures these things are.
None of these types of people want to ever be uncomfortable, they will never engage with something that makes them uncomfortable. They want (You) to feel uncomfortable. When they talk about how media should challenge you and how it needs to make you feel something, they want (You) to feel how awful and uncomfortable they feel.

In Praise of Shadows was always a huge faggot and anyone who actually watched his shit prior to that and wasn't either criminal-levels of oblivious or a woke retard themselves already knew it.
I found his Channel like years prior and dropped it after only watching like maybe two videos of his, because he managed to consistently make an ass of himself in both. I was lured in by what looked like high-production analysis about how psychology affects horror & art, but then halfway through he'd be on some tangent about how "Anybody who makes race-related jokes is secretly ACTUALLY a racist" or some shit. If that wasn't enough to register in your brain "This guy's a politics-brained retard, you can't trust his claims and shouldn't value his opinions" then they're TOO tolerant of that kind of shit, honestly. I'm sure he made even more egregiously retarded points in some of the videos I didn't get to see.

I'm glad he outed himself publicly as a retard beyond a shadow of a doubt for all to see, but I'm just saying the people who were genuinely somehow "surprised" to find out that In Praise of Shadows was a braindead SJW baffle me, as they either had zero familiarity with him (while claiming the opposite) or they had early-stage leftist brain-worms themselves at the time.

He's also not the first or last content-creator to start advertising their own retardation that same way. A Channel I found recently, "MLYP", which does fun little mini-documentaries on notable events to have occurred in the history of SomethingAwful (and sometimes the wider span of the Internet) took a break in the middle of his most recent video (the one on the "Fred Durst Society of the Humanities and Arts" or whatever) to bitch about people daring to care about their tax-dollars being wasted. Really reminded me that I was watching something written by a millennial Britcuck who thinks it's everyone's sworn duty to be unquestioning pay-pigs for wasteful government spending.

Nigga I'm usually the FIRST to complain about people making up strawmen to attack, but this is 100% a caricature of a demographic that (currently) exists. If you've seriously never met one to the point where you can even conceive of their existence as at least a possibility, then you painfully littler social-interaction with other people of your age group, even on the Internet.

Nobody's in denial that "soiboys" exist. This is literally just the breed of that species that claims to be a "horror-fan", of which there are many.

I like some movies that people call "elevated horror", but the term itself is bullshit used by insecure midwits who don't want to say they like horror because some horror movies are megashlock with gore and tits.

Nevermind that some of the stuff full of gore and tits still has artistic merit on its own.

"jumpscares are good" is the "lol look at me eating faeces; don't you feel silly?" of movie-watching
>>
Interpersonal drama is fine in horror when it is interwoven to the main storyline, for example Rosemary's baby starts off with the husband becoming distant and manipulating his wife and then we find out she is carrying the devil's child
>>
>>223200151
Jumpscares ARE shit though. Literally the retard's definition of horror. You can name the times in cinema history that they've been used *properly* by a legitimately good entry in the horror-genre on one hand (Mulholland Drive, arguably Exorcist III if you're willing to concede that's a "good one", I guess? etc). It's literally a "baby-tier" technique on par with, and arguably actually WORSE, than even the lowest-tier schlocky shit they used to do for horror movies back in the 60's, like having a glow-in-the-dark skeleton prop get hoisted from a cable up & down the theater aisles during showings of House on Haunted Hill.

This is a classic example of "just because [person you don't like] says that [thing] is 'bad', that does not necessitate that [thing] is actually 'good'."

You don't have to play a game to be at least vaguely familiar with its development team or history, especially when they're very public and frequently in internet news-cycles.

Oh wait, were you trying to pretend like you were "cool", on the internet of all places, by declaring hat you don't play videogames? Because while that's absolutely adorable, you clearly still know enough about videogames to even know off the top of your head what "Dead By Daylight" is and that it is in fact a videogame. So you kinda' sabotaged yourself right there.

The greatest jumpscare of all times is in Jaws when the shark casually appear behind Roy during a relaxed conversation and only he notices.
And Spielberg was right about it. He said (paraphrasing) it's a tool you need to use in the right way, in the right moment and very very sparingly, otherwise you lose the audience's trust and people will stop being immersed in the movie. Basically they will just start a guessing game about what will jump on screen next, when and from where.
>>
There are so many horror films about "muh trauma" genuinely makes no sense how they keep shitting them out.
>>
Can a jay bauman explain What constitutes a jump scare exactly? Seeing a girl get decapitated suddenly like in hereditary isn't a jumpscare? Seeing someone fall to his death on a rock like in midsommar isn't a jumpscare? There are countless of jumpscares in dario argento film and films like black Sunday

Jumpscares are the retard filter of horror (jay baumans) just like laugh track is for comedy. If you are not willing to look past the laugh track to realize that shows like father ted are funnier than hundreds of non laugh track comedy, you are a retard, if you are not willing to look past some jumpscares to realize that the two conjuring films are robust well crafted horror adventure films you are a retard

Yea I mean the problem with nu-woke-elevated horror is that it doesn't stand on its own. The metaphor for trauma is the crutch that holds it together. Rosemary's baby works without looking at it through the lens of fear of motherhood or whatever because it's actually a horror movie. These new ones don't have a solid base so the metaphors feel hamfisted and annoying instead of something you can look at for deeper appreciation of the movie.

Implying the 3rd party is the contrarian (ie the guy learning about some movie/show from a guy complaining about it)
But in actuality the 2nd party is the contrarian and when the 3rd recognizes 2nd is a contrarian they know whatever 2nd is complaining about is actually because all the 1sts love it, so 3rd will probably love it too

ie: 1sts love X, so 2nd hates X, then 3rd sees 2nd hate X and infers 1sts love X, so 3rd infers they'll love X. It's one of the most reliable signals that X is really good

Elevated Horror is a pretentious term, but plenty of "elevated" horror movies are very good. The ironic problem is now that the subgenre has become so mainstream that it now has its own series of tropes that any hack with 10 grand and a camera will mimic in an effort to be the next Ari Aster or Robert Eggers.
>long stretches of nothing happening
>soundtrack that is just atonally plonking on violin strings

Before this everyone was trying to make the next Insidious or Conjuring, before that it was Paranormal Activity and Saw, before that it was Scream, before that it was Nightmare, before that it was Halloween, and so it goes. Now everyone is trying to make the next Terrifier.
