A mistake

I read it… I love horror movies.

[Hypnos]

Nobody reads the horror thread

Don't you like horror, Jorge?

[Ms Harmless]

nobody but the handful of horror fans who don't really read this thread

[Hypnos]

To me horror and sci fi are the only two genres that showcase originality and creativity, which is vital to my enjoyment of movies.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I was going to say, horror is the most consistently brilliant film genre imo; I never stop finding great ones

Outside of rom coms, aren’t those the most formulaic genres?

no

I was being rhetorical because yes they are

[Ms Harmless]

More like Charmless

oh no

[E.H. Ruddock]

Sci fi horror is a cool sub genre. Things like Aliens, Event Horizon, Sunshine, Quiet Place. I tend to like it as long as the horror aspect isn’t too cheesy.

10 Cloverfield Lane, Prey, Ex-Machina

10 Cloverfield Lane, Prey, Ex-Machina

Have yet to get to Prey but Ex-Machina was

[Ello Sailor]

Does Nope count? Such a great movie.

[Ms Harmless]

also I think one could call Birth / Rebirth a sci-fi horror, and by all accounts just a really excellent indie drama movie

Everything, Everywhere All At Once, too

Jurassic Park, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Fire in the Sky

honestly I think horror naysayers are just watching shit horror, or just underestimating how expansive it is

yes it 100% counts and is a masterpiece
