 A while ago I watched The Burbs a 1989 Horror, Mystery film starring Tom Hanks it starts quite well with some surprisingly good music used just to set the scene. But it quickly devolves into a confusing mess the plot isn't confusing mind you but style wise it is a mess. it has 2 big problems the first one is balancing/consistency now horror comedies can be good The cabin in the woods for example is a great meta commentary on horror films in general but it is difficult as comedy and horror are just innately different genres to make it work though you have to haver a balance otherwise it stops being a horror film or a comedy film and just goes into the other genre until the script remembers its got to be both pulling the viewer out in this film you're likely to get cinematic whiplash. The second part is consistency now this is fairly similar to the balance problem there is a difference consistency means that for a majority of the film you have to have equal parts horror and co...

 I recently watched Halloween  and one of the most scary things about Michael Myers is the fact that he never speaks during the entire film this makes him scary because it means that the viewer never has even an inkling towards what is going on in his horrible mind he could have a masterplan for how to dispatch each victim he may have constant visions of murder but its left up to the viewers imagination making him much scarier. The opposite can be true of a villain each step of the way the viewer knows the villain is ahead of the hero filling them with dread or it could show his vast intelligence or it could even just be used to say we have more guns than you each one can make the villain better but of course there are examples which get it wrong... 1. Friday the 13th part 1  this isn't the worst example of this with the murderer quietly killing throughout 90% of the film until near the end where she starts to exposit to the last remaining person why she is murdering thes...

 I have high hopes for the future of horror movies more and more good horror films have been coming out such as Hereditary, Get out and a lonely place to die. the reason I think this is so exciting is because horror has been one of the worst film genres for years not to say there haven't been good ones but they are few and far between. Entire franchises of horror films have grown even though the scripts were clearly written by baboons. To explain my grievances and hopes fully I'm going to go back to the early 2000's Saw, the ring and the Blair witch project came out in 2002, 2004 and 1999 respectively. I'm gonna start with SAW. Saw while being a good film as a psychological horror, gore and a twist ending was one of the first films to start a bad trend Saw, Hostel, final destination and other films started the idea that if you're horror film has gore or a twist ending its a scary film this is wrong gore while it can be entertaining isn't scary its gross with lat...
