What happened to the art of making a scary/horror movie?

The last great horror film to me was the first Nightmare On Elm Street, everything I've seen after that doesn't measure up.
 
Night of the living dead(color remake) is bout the only horror movie that legit creeped me the fuck out
 
No clue what you don't understand. Some times showing it works and other times it doesn't. I'll rather not see whatever is doing the killing than see it and be disappointed.
I was talking about your comment about Chucky lol

You seeing him commit the acts ruined the franchise for you?

Wut?

Seeing him walk and talk made the movies corny, child play 2 on down was not good to me because of that.
 
They became more like thrillers, than scary movies. Quick moments where they make you jump...but that's it.

I'm from the old skool era of horror movies where you actually saw folks gettin hacked up. Not some quick blur shot like some of these movies.

If anything...all the horror/gore shyt has moved from the movies to tv. Like The Walking Dead for example. You'll be hard pressed to find a movie like that nowadays.
 
The scream movies kinda ruined horror for new generations lol. We're in a time where we've seen it all and for most of us, ain't shit scarier than bills and credit scores. You can make a good movie in the genre of horror but can it be scary? Idk. Us is the only new horror movie I've seen as an adult that truly scared me. Ghosts and demons and shit dont bother me at all. Most horror movies are unintentional comedies anyway.
 
Here Gabi go again saying US was scary lol

Shit barely was a horror movie. It was only that when they were at the house. The minute they were in the car it was a wrap

It was "a day in the life of niggas during the apocalypse"

And funny you mention scream because that was the last movie to scare me simply because It came out during a time where ppl like my brother were starting to be left homie alone while our parents were out and that was a movie where someone could buy a mask in real life and copy that. Plus the mask just brings a feeling of dread and I still can barely look at it. I was a kid though Also so that helped.
 
For me a horror movie has to have:

1) atmosphere and ambiance
2. A score that accentuates the feeling of rising dread and suspense that it makes your hair stand up
3. Characters set up in a way that feels like you are in their shoes
4. A killer that either has an ironic or innocent mask/face on or a mask that resembles a specter or ghost or faceless entity
5. A movie that tells a story that allows you to be submerged in it and doesn't rely on cheap tactics such as jump scares and musical stabs during them. Or a movie in a setting with a plot that can easily happen in real life.


Honestly I think it's easy to make a scary movie but hollywood for whatever reason doesn't make it. Their stories be too flimsy/cookie cutter coupled with at times shitty acting and its why korean thrillers or scary movies are much much better and why I gravitate to them more
 
Depends on what you find scary

There's some sick ass scary movies ,but mostly not mainstream

shit like Martyrs

hell we're immune to it but The Walking Dead is scary
