Horror movies are pretty much awful

I guess if I have to watch one I want it as over the top and ridiculous as possible

Which ones, if any, have you seen?

I mean, Scream and the Exorcist are pretty essential horror flicks, so I'd say at least those two.

Image isn't showing. In case this one doesn't show, it's 'The Cabin In the Woods'. Based on what you said, I think this is the movie for you.

Ehh, it's a cool concept. I don't think the execution works very well, though.

:hooray:

I will say it helps if you've seen all the other Nightmare movies that came before it. It's brilliant either way, but having traveled the long road, helps make it more poignant and it enhances the more subtle satiric elements. But, yeah, either way, watch it. It's so fucking good.

I can totally understand someone having that point of view, for sure. Obviously, it worked on me, so I'd disagree. But I won't hold it against you.

At least you understand how fresh and interesting the concept is.

I'm also a sucker for meta in general, but I'm a goddamn town crier for it when it's done well.

Somewhat similar to his approach with scream 3?

Kinda. Sorta. But way deeper and much more interesting. And it came first, so it was even more "groundbreaking" at the time. New Nightmare is my second favorite in the entire Elm Street series. It's far superior to Scream 3, I think.
