    Aww yes, the “I saw a bad horror movie so it’s all bad and needs to go away” schtick. Horror as a genre tends to have a larger number of bad movies in it because they are notoriously cheap to produce. But being cheap is part of the reason the genre has so much charm amongst its fans, and also how it sometimes attracts genuine talent.

    Horror makes up 90% of the movies I watch. If people can’t find good horror, that’s on them. It does exist.

      a bad horror movie

      No such thing. They’re all good. Some are just good for laughs more than scares.

        Look. I love good horror, but almost everything in the Conjuring Universe can just die in a fire and we’d be better off for it. It’s all cheap jump scares. The elements of “dread” that they try and instill are so incredibly cheesy, that it’s so hard to take them seriously.

      Maybe instead of jumping to conclusions and making shit up, you could calm down and stay in your lane instead.
