Quoted from NPO:Welcome to the last 15 years or so. Once the horror reboots started in 2003 or so, it has been garbage in, garbage out. There have been a couple diamonds in the rough: Evil Dead (2013), the first Insidious, Oculous, It Follows, Babadook....but overall, man, horror has been so defanged. It has about as much life as using an AED on a corpse.
Major studio stuff yes, but they are still out there. A lot of Mike Flanagan’s movies (Oculus) are great, Ti West, others. Conjuring 1 and 2, I even like the Sinister series.
These reviews are all over the place! I’m seeing “it’s not better than Rob Zombie’s” films, which I liked fine, but they didn’t feel to me like the original series. And then a couple of “its great but with flaws” and then “omfg sooo goood”. Guess I’ll have to see it myself!
