I think most horror fans enjoy terrible horror movies.

The worst sin is when they're just boring, though.

Just watched Sinners.

It was awful.

1.5+ hours of largely unnecessary back story leadup for maybe 25 minutes of actual vampire survival content. Horror movies aren't supposed to be 2.5 hours long.

Just finished Bring Her Back. Pretty top notch, imo. Same directors did Talk To Me which was great. Weapons was enjoyable, but not in my top 10 of last 15 years, give or take.

I feel like we’ve been in a horror movie golden age for a bit. It will likely sputter out soo . A lot of them seem to be hitting the same vibe/style, so getting overdone feeling.

Horror movie hit or miss ratio is perfectly fine in my experience? Is this an issue people face? Y'all need a better way of deciding upon a movie then lol

As a horror fan, I guess I don't really understand the desire to wade through low-tier films when we live in the age of reviews and online-word of mouth. Every horror film I watch is almost always a great film or better. I sat through maybe 4 or so low quality films a few years back, and realized I should just cut my losses and trust what people say, unless I find some super obscure found-footage Japanese horror flick from the 80's that doesn't even have a translated subtitle track, then I'll take the risk.

You know what horror movie you should see? Creep, by Patrick Brice, 2014. Do not look any trailer, do not see anything about it. Just go and watch it. It will take only one hour of your time.

They nailed with X (2022), but I think they screw it with their sequels. I know a lot of people that claim that every movie is superior, one by another (Pearl and MaXXXine), the same thing happened with Terrifier, the first movie is awesome, but the sequels.... uggghh.

Edit: M3GAN was funny, but happened the same thing whit the sequel.

Edit 2: My favorite horror movie sequel is Hellraiser II

If you watched hundreds of hours of movies and you didn't like any of them, you might not be a fan of the genre.

Me, who hates "good" horror movies and loves monsters, kaiju, slashers, and otherwise B movies: Thumb.

I saw The Monkey recently, and I feel it fits the bill here a bit. It's weird, it's cheesy at times, it's got a very eclectic choice of scares and whatnot. It's not serious, at all. But it's also not at all a bad movie, it's got a very respectable 77 on the tomatometer, a source I used to trust implicitly, despite having gone to shit probably five or more years ago at this point.

I think that horror lets itself benefit from some cheese in a way that no other genre can benefit from, and in there we get the whole "bad movie" vibe sometimes. I'm not remotely a massive horror fan, because I've known some and my fandom doesn't hold a candle to theirs, but I enjoy the genre, and it's a very dense genre, with so many ways to tell what is ostensibly the same story: something to "scare" the viewer.

There's been a recent resurgence in good horror

Barbarian was fantastic

So was Together, just watched it for date night last weekend.

I was going to check out Good Boy next, it looked interesting
