Do you like elevated horror?
>>223196270The very term "elevated horror" was always pretentious as fuck.
>>223196270What even happened to this genre? Haven't heard about one of these movies in years
>>223196270Im not bald though
Anyone who enjoys any genre of horror films should be locked up. Sickos.
>>223196270I don't understand this image. Who is it parodying? What is the author trying to convey? I usually have pretty good meme literacy but this one confises me.
>>223196373So is this all this board is -just straight trolling? When are we getting serious?
Horror is Satanic. It’s a tool of The Secret Societies to make your soul vulnerable to demonic possession.
>>223196270the elevated horror guy does have a point about systemic racism being scarier than xenomorphs
>>223196303yeah it's not even like "graphic novel" where it's just a way to repackage the stuff already there or coming out, it's like calling them "good comics."
>>223196270I don't like
>>223196270Horror 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.
>>223196270Why is having ear rings bad
>>223196270The slasher man is the hate in our hearts
>>223196270is this all 4chan is now? posting strawmen? don't you fucks get tired of this after over a decade?
>>223196542Get that thong out ya bussy, playa
>>223196542Are you a pig, a whore, or a slave?
>>223196556I’ve noticed the only people using frogs nowadays are anti 4chan culture stop trying to fit in
>>223196505Only if it’s against whites
>>223196405wojak is baddon't be a wojak and like things
>>223196405>hurrr durr?
What is “elevated horror”? Just any horror movie that isn’t Nightmare on Elm Street or Halloween? Is any cheeseburger that isn’t from McDonalds an “elevated cheeseburger”?
>I have no idea what you’re talking about
>>223196573are you an incel?
>>223196618You tell me
>>223196612From what I can tell it's the term for horror movies where nothing scary happens and they have "deep" social commentary.
>>223196270Didn'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.
>>223196270tbf horror conventions look gay as fuck. OMFG I LURRRRV FREDEE CRUGR!!!1!!!! I LUV HORURRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!1!!1 (only watches 80s slashers and cheap modern shudder slop paying homage to 80s slashers). kill me. almost as bad as a ren fair.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.
elevated horror was always shit
>>223196618>avoids the question and uses the prepackaged feminist shaming termYep you’re a soibitch
cuck horror
>>223196653>>223196741so a yes then
>>223196520It's the same thing. Cowards embarrassed to admit they like [thing] so they invent a fake term so they can pretend it's not what it is.
>>223196612It means pretentious slop that thinks stewing in self-pity is profound
>>223196556True. Just shutdown this shit website now
>>223196270Based Whangster.
>>223196807So you don't know?
>>223196542dude we are 34 now
>>223196270>*The Mankino Horror guy*>Only watches Predator (1989)>Knows every scene by memory, still gets as emotionally invested as if it were the first time>Does a mediocre Arnold impression (thinks it's hilarious)>Has a shaving razor with him at all times, dry shaves during tense moments>"SHOOT THAT FOREST!!!!!">Screams in unison with Dutch>"Oh fuck it's in the trees??!?">Plows his gf during the boring parts (none)
>>223196373Some of those movies are fuckin great though you cuck faggot
>>223196505cope
>>223196405OK, you've met soiboys/numales, right?Have you met a soiboy/numale that's "into horror"? Because this is what they're like.Not that fucking complicated.
>>223196908Found the cuck
Do you REEEAAALLY want me to dignify that with sarcasm that might get me banned?
>>223196542Why the fuck would a man have pierced ears?
>hating on ear rings what? this board hates ear rings now? even modern nazis have them
>>223196556Nigger this board has been nothing but strawman since at least 2013
>>223196405It's a parody of Jay Bauman types, but the design is a generic śoyboy, not anyone specifically
>>223196962And he's a real bad ace
>>223196618>IMMEDIATELY runs for the "muh incels" emergency-lever the second someone says certain life-choices can make a man look like a fagSo not only are you insecure, you're also foid-brained.
>>223196962They’re okay if you’re a girlNot those disgusting gages tho
>>223196618Nice gauges, fag. I bet you wish you were slurping up some cum.
>>223197054This lol. Cuck nu male redditor leftist
>>223197054I look like that, and dress that way, and say those things, and do those things.
>>223196618Leftist cuck
If I see a man in earrings I am obviously going to presume he is down for homosexual anal sex with himself as the bottom if you catch my drift
>>223196373I genuinely don't know what to make of this image.
>>223197170I feel the same way about men with sleeve tattoos.Tats are foid coded now.
>>223196373Tons of new horror movies have trauma as the main theme
>>223196542be good looking and it's fine
>>223196618lol this made all the incels seethe
>>223197170Im 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.
>>223196666I 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.
>>223197406> Im liberalSo you’re gay. Got it.
>>223196373I 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.
>>223197412Just say “woke horror= elevated horror.”
>>223197237I 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.
>>223197464Gay for the Apprentice!
>>223197470I 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.
>>223197487>child who was sex trafficked and now she's fucked up for life and a real drag to have around. Sounds hilarious, is it like Happiness?
>>223197485Candyman 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.
>>223197758Shut up. You’re wrong and grasping at straws. You know you’re wrong but arguing disingenuously. Fuck off to reddit
>>223197615It's literally a list of shitty movies. Why are you using it for recs and then acting surprised you just watched a shitty movie?
>>223197826>Intelligent thoughtful comment from an Anon who clearly watches movies>You are Reddit!2014-2021 Tourists should be hunted down and shot on site.
*saves horror*
GODDAMN YOU ELEVATED HORROR GUY. I HATE YOU SO MUCH
>>223197860You are trying to change the definition of woke by pretending you don’t understand what woke is.
>>223196270how did it become that violent disembowling murder on film became not as bad as rape?
>>223197833It put Herriditary, Witch and it comes at night into the same category calling it the trilogy. I liked 2/3, but even if you did not you have to agree it comes at night is a league of its own shittyness.
>The elevated horror "The real monster is the trauma about a guy who talked to me!">The atmosphere horror "This scene is so spooky *nothing happens* the tension!">The chad "AGH, Wolf Man!"
>>223197919Cucked world. Happens during the collapse of every global world empire.
>>223196270conventions are for losers
>>223197919The industry is just waiting for someone to combine these two genres. Like a Facial Abuse slasher movie. Arthouse porn can do more.
>>223197931lol
>>223197898NTA but would a 50% black cast about a slave murdered by his master's getting revenge on white people not woke?
>>223197924>I like those shitty movies so I thought I'd like this shitty movieYeah, brother, the fault is on you
>>223197833It's not, it's a list of popular movies because it's bait.
>>223197975
>>223197968woke is its own genre.
I FUCKING LOVE ELEVATED HORRORI LOVE PRETENTIOUS ARTHOUSE MOVIES ABOUT TRAUMAI LOVE MOVIES WHERE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING FOR HALF OF ITI LOVE WHEN I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT LATER SO I CAN GO "OH SO THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO ME"I LOVE DAVID LYNCHI LOVE A24if you don't like movies like that it means you're a literal gay retard and I will send gay niggers to your house to rape you so you will get aids and die from aids
>>223197973Do you not see the logical contradiction in your own statement?
>>223196405>I have pretty good meme literacydoesn't seem like it
>>223197968Just shut the fuck up liberal cuck
>>223198025>David Lynchhey! Blue Velvet is a good movie.
>>223198025>I LOVE MOVIES WHERE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING FOR HALF OF ITThe only elevator horror I've seen like that was Skinamarink. The A24 gang have very simple plots tbqh
>>223198057Nothing he had directed is good
>>223198057All of Lynch's movies are great. I wasn't being sarcastic. I'm just yelling because I'm a little drunk.>>223198070That is a fair criticism, but both things are still true. I like both wild surrealism and straightforward trauma allegories.
>>223196270The 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.
>>223198019I am going to need that expanded and explained how it relates to both my and the other Anons premise about Candyman.
>>223198086I'm sending the rape niggers to your favela tomorrow as soon as they wake up around noon
>>223198097Go discuss this on reddit.
>>223196270I like whatever I like and I don't let other people's opinions effect that. in fact, I keep pushing what I like until other people appreciate it.
>>223196405You are literally retarded. You should kill yourself out of shame for being so retarded.
>>223198044>Intelligent thoughtful comment from an Anon who clearly watches movies>You are a cuck!Pottery
>>223197487The Mummy is not in any universe Elevated Horror. It's a mean spirited splatstick comedy, as expected of an Evil Dead franchise movie.
>>223198114Your pot has an image of a gay couple hugging
>>223197946I went to one a month ago for the first time and it was all guys you'd expect to work on your car. full sleeve horror character tattoos and tank tops everywhere, and all the women were fat.

>>223197487>Also, Evil Dead Rise was NOT good enough for this queer to start sticking his name in the movie title.they did that because people thought it was a new Brendan Fraser Mummy, idiot
>>223196270Allegory for trauma/mental health is the only one i hate. That shit has infected so many movies, shows, indie games, web series etc.It's pretty much the only thing zoomers think is "deep"
>>223196807you act like a woman and don’t think it’s embarrassing
>>223197317you’re seething and saying lol at the end is what angry women do

>>223199488>Such a person does not exist.it's like 95% of all horror related subreddits
>>223196542It's for fags.
Christian horror (possession, exorcism, demons etc) seems silly.Imagine getting scared by a bunch of jewish fairy tales.
>>223199505>going to Reddit
>>223196556>now
>>223199504Tons of leftist cucks here lmaoMovies and show are mainly woke so it makes sense for /tv/ to have tons of leftists here
Why are the only memes on the internet strawman wojaks now?
>>223196542You're only allowed to have earring and tattoos if you're a sailor, or a seaman if you will
I love that this is just a caricature of Trevor Henderson
>>223196373To be honest this bait picture does have a lot of shit in it.
>>223199678Johnny, do you play baseball?
>>223196542If you aren't a pirate during the golden age of piracy then ear rings are for fags. That is the only exception to this rule.
If you aren’t a Mayan warrior farming corn and worshipping bat gods then you’re not allowed gold earrings. Slayer tattoos are fuckin SICK tho
You’re only allowed tattoos if you’re a Nazi who needs to keep your blood type visible for other soldiers on the battlefield. If you don’t get tattoos you’re a wussy pussy, or a peepee suckler if you will
>>223199675All the smart people stopped making memes so now it's just retards regurgitating things.
>>223196373Hey now, don't you dare shit talk mothman prophesies. Thems fightin' words, cunt.
If you aren’t a mothman telling me about chapstick on the phone then you’re a faggot with golden rings, or a swashbuckling pirate if you will
You’re only allowed ONE tattoo, or ONE golden earring, but you can’t do both or else you’re a binky boy, or a gay little faggot slave if you will
>>223196270>"trauma"This word has becoming meaningless.
>>223196270Reminds me of that guy who tried to cancel wendigoon and in the same video was like "I had to walk to the horror convention and my feet hurt :( and it was too white :("
I think pirates is a pretty cool guy. Eh wears gold ear rings and doesnt afraid of anything.
>>223199833Oh yeah, the guy who alienated his entire fanbase with one handy video
>>223199843Does he have tattoos and is a sailor by any chance? A seaman if you will?
>>223196405it really is the righty version of the "left can't meme" meme

>>223199936>I'm not a retarded manchild faggot>posts on 4tranoh honey...
>>223199963It's about as subversive as Midsommar given it does the same thing where the ending is good or bad subject to interpretation.
>>223197924Hereditary and Midsommar are literally the worst horror movies ever made.
>>223196303Not as pretentious as IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) but definitely up there.

>>223200071Sometimes I cross my legs and hold my shit in while my pants fall down around my ankles, so I strut around my dark apartment grunting and making up hopdrat rap songs in my gonch about watermelon and leaving my pregnant white girlfriend with sloppy fart sounds holding onto my dickThings like>daddy’s gotta roll>kool aid on patrol>watermelon seeds>in his yellow baboon teeth>stacys kid wants his dad>but I’m busy with the crew>rolling in the crib holding in my chunky poo
>>223199833In 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.

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.

>>223200147>it’s just a black woman with a dog or a cowboy with a chain >an angry oni that yells?? This “horror” game is fucking retarded lmao
>>223196270I 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.
>>223196373Only thing in this movie I have seen is alien and that was greatI haven't seen scream but I saw scary movie and that was great too so Scream is probably pretty good as well
>>223197237and they are all bad
>>223197758>leftist hypothetical shitSwing and miss again, as always
"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
>>223200151Jumpscares 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'."
>If anyone ever says elevated horror stop it okay just stop it elevated horror is a phrase that is used by nincompoops >there is no such thing as elevated horror it is called horror >elevated horror is a way of saying well it's you know it's like it's like a horror film right but it's elevated it's got ideas, yeah, like every horror film >even the worst horror films i've ever seen have got ideas in them and i hate the fact that people elevated horror is the kind of term that is used by people who think they are above the horror genre and it really annoys me so don't ever refer to a film as elevated horror /tv/ midwits slain by Kermode back in 2022

>>223200163You 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.
I like some artsy stuff but I remember watching It Comes At Night or whatever that movie by A24 and feeling myself actually get angry at how nothing it was.
>>223200227Who/What the fuck, if anything, are you quoting.I've read your greentext like three times and I still can't understand the actual succinct point you're trying to communicate. Who or what are you on about?
>>223200223The 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
>>223200250He don't like the movie part of the movie, and neither the horror part. He just want the director to throw firecrackers near his feet when he's in front of the screen
The real horror is how a black man in america is treated. Greg floyd died for this.
>>223200163Such a unique reply never seen that one before. You idiots are forcing this shit way too hard. 90% of this board is capeslop and netflix shows for teenagers.
>>223200308People shitting out media nowadays are uncreative, never created anyting and only want to talk about themselves
>>223200163Clearly you do.
>>223200308It's a theme in indie games and web series etc. too.Just like with games they see one theme or genre blow up and then blindly spam it to death.
>>223200297>Who/What the fuck, if anything, are you quoting.did you consider reading the post before responding to it?
What about elevator horror instead?
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
>>223200332I do think you're right. Narcissism has spiked like 300-400% due to social media. The increased narcissist tendencies means people like pretending their "trauma" is basically a horror villain they need to defeat because they're the protagonist or something lol
>>223200374>the two conjuring films are robust well crafted horror adventure filmsLMAO
>>223200220A24 as a company wouldn't exist without Rosemary's baby
>>223200374>conjuringAre you a woman? Post feet.
>>223200359I'm gonna stick my dick in it based joke though
>>223200382Okay jay, did you finally get around watching once upon a time in the west as an Italian film expert?
>>223200308>>223200332Writers used to have lived experience. Nowadays most writers are college educated, someone's son or daughter who have really nothing to say because all they know has been neatly mediated to them.
>>223196556>posting strawmen>strawmenThese people actually exist, and they’re cancer.
>>223200220Yea 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.
>>223200382>>223200393Retards alert, mike stoklasa just posted a brain fart on YouTube go watch that
>>223200430This is a problem that some smart people pointed out as far back as the 90s but nobody listened to them
>>223196373you can tell this list is old because of the lack of creggslop
>>223200431>>223196556Why are you guys calling them strawmen. The image clearly says basedmen
>>223200435no idea who that is, really says a lot about you

>>223200440There's only one solution that comes to mind: WW3. Imagine the kino.
>>223200359>What about elevator horror instead?The Lift (1983) is the best elevator horror
bump for more high-quality discussion
>>223198899He said lol at the beginning, lol
>>223198975leftist websiteanime websitetranny website
>>223198975we have several gay boards, a few for weird pornography and dedicated grooming boards (/b/, /v/) of course there are lefties here.A lot of the attempted guerilla marketing also relies on leftybait so they think they're in company.
the only true horror films are slashers where a group of teenagers get killed by a big guy with a knife in the woods
>>223201165Don't forget /pol/, THE homosexual board.
>>223201183I unironically believe this. It's the simplest and most effective type of horror movie. Anything deviating too far from the slasher setup is pretentious and inbred
>>223201187I thought it was glowfags and confused boomers.Still those are better than deranged perverts in dresses trying to indoctrinate children so they don't have to square up with their own niggling feeling that what they're doing is very very wrong.
>>223201080How cute.Now go back
>>223201183for you
I have a simple rule; if a "critic" says a movie is "everything"; I'm not watching it; that already filters most "elevated" horrors.
>>223201226this post is everything
>>223201183this or big monsters and people fucking around and finding out
Yes I do and I always find it quite humorous that there always exists the eternal 4chan critic whose taste will always rely on not liking things that get too popular
>>223196613I love him so much.
>>223201226>it's like [insert movie] mixed with [insert movie]>it's the [insert movie] of [genre]
>>223201298>it's *movie* on steroids
>>223199487cabin in the woods is garbage
>>223196405The author is saying people who like [thing] are basedjaks, which means they are dumb and the author is smart.
>>223201243This doesn't make any fucking sense, almost all other genres of horror are more popular. Are you a bot?
>>223199487>hereditary bad>lighthouse goodyou are an unironic gay guy arent you
>>223196373They Look Like People is schizo kino.
>>223200359they're already spooky enough you don't need movies for them
>>223200151kek
>>223196270>>223196373Imagine being too dumb to understand good horror. Lmao.
>>223196270meme is very specific but the reality is more broad.theres something about liberals where each of them have some weird obsession with horror and core.theyd rather (and do) apend all their time watching Z movies about horror, body horror, gore etc before watching any classic.its odd behavior
>>223196270Was Blair Witch elevated horror? I went to see it with my best mate and he thought it was boring because nothing happened and I thought it was thrilling.
>>223201509people understand they have a limited time on Earth so they'd rather watch stuff they know they'll enjoyit's so odd, so weird, why don't they watch things that make them bored and angry? why don't they suffer like me?
>>223196373i agree with this image except the lighthouse is based because it has 2 based actors acting based and some boomer horrors are just good movies if you dont treat them as horrors

>>223196908thats the bait for replies tactic. include good stuff amongst the trash. everything is engagement bait on the net. no ones genuine
>>223196270>can't eat with his parents due to political differencesDoes this retard not see the difference between a movie and real life
>>223199487Its crazy how often when anyone on /tv/ complains about a movie that I actually go on to enjoy the movie. It turns out to be one of the best ways to find good movies to watch
>>223202791
>>223196270I like all kinds of horror, the more artsy, "atmospheric" stuff does have its place. Sometimes I'm in the mood for it, other times I just want blood and tits and ass, or just a spoopy ghost tale, I like it all.
>>223202857>watching a movie is the same as eating poop

>>223196938>Have you met a soiboy/numale that's "into horror"? Because this is what they're like.Sure. But the vast majority of people who like the Witch or Hereditary or whatever are just basic white women, not basedfacing letterboxd guys. It's not like funkopops where that one type of guy obviously dominates the hobby

>>223196270Horror fans are all fags tb qh. All weirdos
Yeah that's the horror I mainly care aboutPersonally I hate horror fans, I think they're incredibly stupid and obnoxious with shit taste, especially when it comes to their favourite horror villains and franchisesI do enjoy movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Scream, Halloween, etc and a lot of found footage movies including the shitty ones like Late night with the Devil or Hell House, I can't excuse shit like As Above So Below though
>>223198089>I wasn't being sarcastic. I'm just yelling because I'm a little drunk.Now that's what I call based

>>223199982What could possibly be good about the ending to the witch
>>223202857Implying 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 tooie: 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

>>223197406It's not a hierarchy you dipshit, except among closeted rightwingers who latched on to Ancient Greek bullshit about it somehow not being gay to bugger boys. Bottom/top is literally just a reference to where someone prefers to be in missionary.
>>223203436this board is obsessed with anyone who doesn't literally stay up to date with all the memes that have been invented every week as somehow internally obstinate. doesn't make a lick of sense
>>223203462Same shit with games, movies, any hobbie etc. People just assume everyone else is part of their bubble.It's like when people are surprised that you don't know their favorite random youtuber with a few million subs without knowing that there are thousands of youtubers with millions of subs.
>>223203408Yeah, and that's why you shouldn't post here

>>223203292>t. kike
>>223197037How did Jay even become the mascot for these types of guys? He talks up stuff like Blackcoat's Daughter and Lake Mungo but also has videos about how much he loves Freddy vs Jason and The Blob and Evil Dead 2 and Re-Animator and Creepshow. If anything the Dead Meat guy seems like a better candidate because of how often he does the "erm yikes, THAT didn't age well!" thing (though him refusing to talk about Jeepers Creepers until the pedophile who directed it is dead is pretty based).
>>223204617who is Dead Meat guy?
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>muh religious/familial/sexual traumaBefore 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.
>>223200013Wait that's what IDM means?LMAO
>>223196270>"Would never go to a horror convention despite proclaiming to be a fan of the genre."This is actually extremely based
>>223196373Noroi and Babacuck suck ass, wish I had back the time I spent watching them.
