At least the scream films are actual people doing the killlngs, so it's not as far fetched, but they're meant to be self aware horror films, no scary ones. However, I've thought it could be cool to do a grounded, serious take on that idea. Make it more like True Detective (if it were a series), Prisoners or even Se7en. Really make the killers smart and dangerous with an investigation going on. I think that could be really interesting.
I hated Smile and was laughing most of the way through and the end had me cry laughing it was so bad. I went to watch some reviews and everyone loved it. I don't understand.
Maybe it just wasnt your thing but it was for a lot of people. I liked it & thought it was good. Its like the 3 or 4th movie that actually creeped me out even a little in years, but I also can barely take shit seriously so I was also laughing at any humor I could possibly conjure from it😂
@@kinka9883 Of course many liked Smile because most people are idiots. And please, enough with the Hangman's Paradox & Deontological Ethics scenarios in so many modern horror movies. Just lazy writing.
The people who like Smile and most modern horror do so because they are idiots. Barely cognizant meat sacks who could not recognize nuance if it bit them on the arse. The best serious horror movies came out from around the 1960's into the late 1980's. 90's had some good horror as well but it all became absolutely ridiculous by the 2000's. Movies such as the original Omen, Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby etc. scared the shit outta you because they made you think and got into your head. True horror is what is not seen but implied or alluded to, and the true horror or evil is only glimpsed such as the Exorcist. There is an exception, foreign horror is still great, especially the Korean, Japanese, and Turkish horror. One of the scariest movies I ever saw was Baskin which is Turkish and came out in 2015. What makes this movie scary is the ending and the implications of what was truly happening.
Its always confused me that people feel scary movies exist. After The Shining it was over. So called scary movies are just like the Godzilla movies, just a dumb ride with a lot of nonsense with bad stories. It was like Star Waes i beautiful visual trip. Showed it to my mum and she loved them. They're stunning with fun ideas. Nothing is scary though. Its also the only movies i fall asleep to. They have a tendency to bore the shit out of me.
Not sure how old this clip is (I'm guessing mid last year due to the mention of Smile which was very good), but I'm gonna have to disagree with Billy Boy here. Horror has seen a massive resurgence over the last decade or so after tons of dumpster fires in the 2000s. Since then, we've gotten a ton of gems (a bunch of which aren't familiar to the mainstream community). There are no shortage of awful ones, but that goes for any medium of entertainment. I'm guessing he's referring more to the fact that we'll never truly get back to the "classic horror" which reached its end in the mid to late 80s.
I think the issue is there’s just so many movies out there that the average person has to dig through to find something good. It’s similar to how Rock music is at this point, the mainstream stuff is mediocre but there’s some good independent films out there.
The difference is I don't have to dig for a good action movie or thriller. Good ones and bad one are released to the public while horror movies just give shit to the public
BILL needs to say the DATE when he does these videos I've seen 5 different versions of the same video about the DAD what hates his daughter's lazy boyfriend
Horror movies are lame. To be scary, it's gotta be something that seems like it could happen, at least to for me. That's why the Jason, Freddy, He'll raised shit isn't scary at all. Jason will be chasing someone whom is driving a car like 60mph for like a mile, then he stops for 10 seconds and Jason is just there. It's so stupid. Or no matter where they hide, the killer always finds them or they noise at the most convenient time so they can be hacked to death.
Saw ruined it for me. That and hearing the premise of the human centipede one. No thanks. The earlier movies weren't about sitting there and torturing yourself non-stop.
i don't feel he's taking his age into consideration. what scares you as a new viewer of 13/14 compared to what scares you at 35 (mortgage, marriage, kids for many) is vastly different. Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds' scared me so bad I was afraid to ride my bike past my neighbors. He was a hunter (deer, bears) and would hang them up on a pole placed between trees to clean - with attracted a great many noisy cawing birds. it scared the crap out of kid me. 20+ years later and seeing it again was almost a joke. many birds were obviously fake that escaped my notice at the 1st viewing. ahhh, time. and I 100% agree how fast metal went from interesting to nothing I wanted to support or see. blues/rock all the way. and country rock? not country music but as examples, The Band/Buffalo Springfield/Allman Brothers/Charles Daniels and, strangely enough, The Byrds kind of country. '60's'70's rock. long hair but no make-up etc
I mean, Im like half his age & scary movies today hardly scare me. I was always confused looking at trailers for them saying how they were so terrifying & having audience reactions, then you go in & the scariest thing to me was my sister screaming on every jumpscare & grabbing my arm😂.
@@kinka9883 Scary movies weren't as prevalent as they are today AND just existing today seems a lot more "scary" with constant 24/7 disaster news.. A person gets immune to shock
He didn’t even talk about why they are bad now he mentioned how Friday the 13th kinda got bad, he mentioned now movies don’t just try’s to scare you anymore they try to mentally scar you, he mentioned he can’t watch Saw, he couldn’t watch Babaduke but might with Nia. He mentioned how old movies didn’t try to build tension. Nowadays movies do too much slow burn shit for sake of “tension” I hate all this “elemental horror” whatver Scream 5 called it
