However, movies like this are the one exception. When i go to see a horror flick, i want it to leave a lasting impression. If i want that, I'll go to a haunted house. Almost all the great horror movies never use it, because they rely on scaring the audience with disturbing images, not raised music that makes everyone jump. Actually, i prefer there to be no music at all.


When it comes to horror movies, i think the two most crucial elements are the cinematography, and the musical score. Hopefully in the coming years, this genre' will come back to life. You would figure after great horror flicks like "The Decent" and "Paranormal Activity", studios would start realizing what actually works and what audiences want to see. And i am even more sickened by the fact that they keep making the same crap year after year. Im sick of the same old parlor tricks and scare tactics that have been used for the past 10 years. I am so sick of these wannabe 'so called' horror flicks that belong on late night lifetime channel.

Of all the genre's that Hollywood has to offer, the most tattered of the bunch is without a doubt the horror department.
