Another turd horror movie trying to be deep


Seriously what is with horror movies nowadays? We can't just have a good scary movie anymore with interesting plot. No no the movie has to be jam packed with "deep" moments and the monster has to represent some kind of human problem. So this monster represents cancer? Wow great job this movie is so deep. Instant 10/10. Oh wait no because the whole movie was boring as hell. Go make a documentary about cancer if you want that to be your subject matter. I came to see an actual horror film. I really feel like this all started with the Boreadookie, another terrible overhyped movie.

Let's get back to good plot and scary monsters instead of trying to stuff symbolism and other ridiculous garbage into a boring movie and hoping a few critics will eat it up.

I agree a lot of recent horror films are trying too hard to be metaphorical. Or, even if they're not trying hard, they just are happening too frequently.

Any recent horror films you have liked?

Basically what you are saying is you didn't like it right? What about Friday the 13th and that bitch mother who had to drag herself and her damn son through sequel after sequel? Instead of getting the F over it like every other parent who lost a child. Why couldn't that kid swim anyway? Who sends their kid to a camp with a lake if he can't swim??

I am sick of Zombie horror too. Everything is about them and their hunger. Enough already with those boring, non speaking, cadavers. They all look exactly the same and they all want the same thing.
