David Cronenberg Expects ‘Crimes of the Future’ Walkouts at Cannes ‘Within the First Five Minutes’

I've fallen for that nonsense way too many times. They can't get me anymore. I may still check out a movie though if the plot sounds interesting or maybe someone in the cast is someone I like. I've fallen more for a lot of horror movies though that do this kind of stuff, especially with Netflix exclusive horror movies or even A24 horror movies. Like they are "too scary to finish," or "scariest movie of all time," or people left the theater, or people were rushed to the hospital (heart failure, seizure, and a few other things), or people passed out, people got sick/vomited, and many other things. When I finish the movie, I always come to the same conclusion or conclusions. It wasn't that scary at all, or I sit there and ask "is this your first horror movie?" since everything that came close to being scary was just stuff I've seen before in other movies. Also, the movies are nothing but jumpscares every 2-3 minutes. Apparently jumpscares is the definition of horror and nothing else. But a lot of these movies I just sit there and sit there and then sit some more waiting for things to get scary or get me to react the way others do. Then when things finally do get interesting, the movie ends like 5-10 minutes later and I'm just sitting there like: "That's it? That was such a waste of 80 to 100 minutes and not even scary. I've seen scarier and those movies I'm thinking of that were scarier weren't even all that scary either." The last 5-10 years (mainly since about 2015 or 2016) it just seems like we've been in this era where everything seems like it's someone's first movie or they act liked it's the first time something has been done before. Like X. Everyone praises X, but to me, the movie is just a ripoff of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (not sure why it's chain saw and not chainsaw) mixed with the Friday The 13th movies (Friday The 13th for all the sex and nudity). Has no one seen any Friday The 13th movies or the original TCM? If you watch those, you pretty much saw X.
