So its hard to make a bad documentary but easy to fuck up horror.
Plus, horror is one of the more popular ones to make with a tiny budget. Lots of the famous slashers like Friday the 13th, Halloween, etc. are fun to watch (especially with a group), but absolutely deserve their low/mid ratings, lol
Horror also has the sequel problem where the first movie is solid but the shitty sequels drag the ratings down.
Are you suggesting that they were phoning it in when they sent Jason to space?
Faxing it in.
I don't care what anyone says, Jason X is great. That sleeping bag scene is still hilarious.
Well... Friday the 13th and Halloween were kind of groundbreaking and genre defining. In my opinion they deserve high ratings.
I love em too, but I binge-watched many of them with some friends a couple of years ago, and most are true B-movies. I understand why some people don't appreciate them.
Halloween 3 comes to mind. No Michael Myers, just some randos in a company town run by
Tap for spoiler
Irish robots powered by Stonehenge. It's a fever dream.I wasn't talking about the sequels.
I've always found horror boring, though sometimes funny.
The story is usually painfully transparent.
I was the only person in the theatre laughing during the first Nightmare movie, it was so dumb.
And I was a teen at the time.
I don't like Arianna Grande, so when her merits are discussed I don't join the discussion, because my opinion on something that I don't care about doesn't matter.
I think it’s more that horror has long been the realm of b-movies but nobody sets out to make a b-grade documentary.
Additionally b-movies are rife with camp and camp is as divisive as puns. Basically nobody just tolerates camp, you either like 60s Batman, for example, or you think it’s dumb.
