In my opinion, zombie movies are not true horror movies.
A horror movie relies on the tension of the unknown.
Zombies have permeated pop culture to the point where there are no surprises, and they all follow the same rules, with little variation.
Heck, even slasher movies barely count as actual, genuine horror movies any more.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Yes, definitely.
I mean, I like slashers, but I hesitate to call some of them horror movies when they don't vary the formula enough to keep me on my toes.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?guys my logic is airtight im sorry
@norm: the definition of a horror movie is nebulous at best
i mean the idea that the saw movies are horror is really silly, they're just gross
but they're not going to be filed under the category of "shitty movies that have blood and literally nothing else" because thats unfortunatley not a thing
Even a movie that is considered horror can have trouble keeping the label with sequels.
By the time the sequel comes, we understand the danger and the monster, even if they make some token changes to setting and characters.
Ergo, they lose their horror edge and compensate by upping the ante in blood and over the top violence.
Have you ever seen a horror movie where the sequel is more subtle? No.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Aliens at least had the right idea in that it needed to go beyond the horror element and focus on more of an action movie. Otherwise it would have been more of the same.

Not really.
