now make how Call of duty killed gaming.
Unnecessary sex scenes/nudity ruined horror movies in my opinion.
The answer for horror is simply to not use old cliches. Come up with some
original ideas, there are far more ways to scare people than having a young
girl chased by a man in a mask with a knife. I give that trope to
Halloween, in that it represented the first time the girl was ever chased
with the knife. Friday the 13th and all the other slasher films just copied
Halloween, and added gore. Scream was perhaps even necessary if only to
draw attention to how repetitive and formulaic horror had become. After
that, they shouldn’t have tried to emulate to Scream, they should have
actually changed horror tropes. Instead we’re still talking about them 20
years after Scream.
Ruined ? You’re not serious, are you ?
A1WAN Waych the entire video.
id say the over abundance of supernatural movies sparked in the 21st
century is what ruined it. due to the 50 paranormal activitys all doing
pretty well in box office, more directors made more and more stale haunting
movies. scream was a classic tho. i think it did more good than bad for the
genre and the meta sepf awareness was gonna happen one way or another, at
least it was done well
I don’t believe that it ruined scary movies, because in the early 90s
horror films were basically dead. Scream brought them back, even if most
were cliche
Saw?
My favourite scary movie is 10 hours of onision screaming
“Yes you had zombies, but they’re a redneck zombie torture family”
And thus Resident Evil 7 was born.
‘RUINED’
ohh please nigga kys
