"Crawl" looks to be an interesting movie. Better than all that SyFy trash.
shareSadly...yes. And it's quickly getting old. It's a slap in the face to the horror genre. It shows the lack of creativity within horror writers / filmmakers nowadays.

This doesn't imply only to horror films.
True, that applies to other genres as well. But horror in particular has suffered greatly from it.
shareYou see, I'd kinda disagree on that since I feel like the horror genre is kind of in a reborn phase. For 20 years horror films were unoriginal, boring, no appealing and especially not scary. Lately though, we've seen some more original and creative stuff like Bird Box or Hereditary.
But yes... despite all that, there is a fair share of reboots/remakes coming out in the genre.
I haven't watched Bird Box yet. But I thought Hereditary was great. But still, that's only two films. I wouldn't exactly call that a reborn phase. The horror genre needs vast improvements.
shareThe Age of Useless Reboots, yes. I don't mind the idea of a reboot, but I just feel what is being rebooted is unnecessary. Surely we can take previously shit films and make them better now?
shareA lot of these are underperforming, I think the bubble is about to pop.
