Horror movies are becoming viral nowadays this genre has never failed to intrigue people's minds, which is why directors are into the "horror fever". However these horror movies fail to do their only job, which is to scare people. Instead, they turn out to be funny. Horror movies lacking in logic- what is the purpose?
Most of the horror movies include spanning an entire empty space in complete darkness, showing unidentifiable shadows lurking around at midnight and something pulling your bedsheets from under your bed. In what way does it turn out to be scary.? We all see empty, dark rooms everyday, but it doesn't mean it scares us all. Horror should be some external factor that gets your adrenaline pumping in fright, not having you yawning and easiy predicting the next scene.
Apart from the camera angles and scenes there are some techniques that are really silly, used by directors. I'm sure many of us have seen horror movies where the victim will have a nose bleed, victim's reflection won't be seen on the mirror and instances where the television will turn on by itself. Such techniques have been used very exhaustively in several horror films, that now, when these scenes come, people simply sit and stare at their screens instead of swallowing a scream.
Amidst all the horror movies that were created for mere existence we can handpick a few selected good horror movies that can really make you go sleepless for nights. Examples would be "friend request", "ouija board". Such movies really frighten people at the most unexpected moments. These movies are really worth both the theatre experience and money.
My take on horror movies is that such genre of films should be viewed simply for entertainment purposes, and should not be taken to heart. Although some movies may claim to be based on a true story, people should look at them from a scientific view and not believe the movie blatantly. Even though horror movies exist for entertainment, they should be logical and entertain people, not make them giggle.

Horror movies should only be seen for entertainment purposes.they should not be analysed for logic.
ReplyDeleteAlot of other movies also lack logic.horror movies are not be only exception.hence all jenres should be criticized.
ReplyDeleteThe some horror movies are really good.however there are some overly used scenes that make us bored.
ReplyDeleteHorror movies should be seen only for their trill and adreline rush.they should not be judged for their typical story line.
