Are any of my readers fans of the horror genre? If you are, I think you'll have noticed the recent downfall in good horror as most of the movies you watch will now not include an atmosphere, it won't include good story telling, it won't include likable characters. No, it will include someone mutilating themselves though, which I'm sorry to admit this to you movie companies, is not scary.
If you think back to the 90's where alot of good horror movies came out such as Nightmare on Elm Street, the Jason movies and hell, for some people Terminator & Aliens. Those movies (except for a few of their sequels) had really good writing, really good characters and they still made money while now if you walk into a movie theater, the best movie experience you'll get for being 'scared' will be SAW, which isn't scary, has characters you don't care about and makes it's money off the simple fact that it is just gore porn, really if you're walking in to watch SAW, you're going in there for traps now, not the story and not for a plot, because there simply put isn't one, unless you count the small twists at the end of very movie.
I really hope one day someone can fix this and finally make the horror series good again, as it's very, very, very, VERY rare to ever see a good horror movie.
