Do you guys prefer Neo-Horror or Post-Horror ?

Wtf is post horror?

I hate overly granular definitions it’s so autistic to me

fpbp

generally "post-something" means a work that exists as a reaction to an existing work. it basically is a criticism or a meta commentary of that thing. soibois and hipster girls pretend to love that sort of thing

it comes at night was boring as piss

Social commentary has always been part of horror look at Night of the living Dead or at least half the old twilight zone episodes

Why are people so drastically uninformed about films writing about them?
Oh yeah this "post horror" is a totally new thing, it's not like things like Rosemary's Baby would fit in exactly with the slow burn a24 crap.

BTW, the issue with A24 isn't that it's "soi" or does too much social commentary, it's that it's a production company with a "house style", and people are fans of the company like they would be fans of a director or writer. The idea that fans of upmarket movies would act like Disney adults and fawn over a company is repulsive. (they are upmarket the same way prestige TV is upmarket).
Many of the films in this niche are undeniably good btw, it's as silly to hate all of these as it is to have an A24 tattoo imo.

the problem is that it isn't actually granular, this definition applies to a trend not a genre. You're right to feel that the label is meaningless.

Correct, which would make this label retarded because the thing it applies to
>doesn't critique or comment on previous/existing trends or genres
>break away from previous/existing trends
>innovate

correct.

I like the horror from the 80s which really isn't scary and is instead really comfy and fun.

They need to bring these back as horror movies.
Maybe make it a little more modern with mass shooting movies.
That's the scariest shit. Real life.
Not ghouls and ghosts. Don't care how pretentious it is.

A Ghost Story and It Comes at Night are two of the worst "horror" films I've ever seen.

>post horror is gonna get rid of jump scares
Lel
Soi horror has been around for awhile
No one cares. Halloween killed it at the box office as did the new scream. Meanwhile there are talks of other slasher reboots happening on top of others announced/already made (jeepers creepers 4, new chucky show, Texas chainsaw massacre, etc)
Slasher genre is resurgent, jump scares and insane kills are here to take over, not slow burn existential horror
If nightmare on elm street and Friday the 13th ever get made and are successful soi horror is dead

Based

it's like internet critics, they can't make decent media, they just shit on those who make media

I'm with this guy, watching one of the mara sisters binge eat a pie after afflecks funeral and vomit it up is not exactly horror, just sad

This

>we could potentially see Freddy vs Jason 2

this

I hope do, or better yet Freddy vs Jason vs ash as was planned and then canned

B&W Twilight Zone was mainly sci-fi and weird stories, horror stories were really few.
Night of The Living Dead had absolutely NO political message, everyone thought it was political because the black lead actor, but Romero said that he choses him for the role just because he was the one who learned the part better; the social commentary in his movies started with Dawn of the Dead.
Many horror movies of the past have a political commentary, but also a real horror content; nu-horror movies lack both, 99% of them just put some blood in one or two scenes for the horror part an a political joke for the "serious"ne, because modern audience wouldn't understand nothing more complex, just think about the "ending explained" videos on youtube... people need a 30 minutes explanation to understand why the protagonist goes home after the bad guy dies (subscribe if you like).

Social commentary? Fuck while people? You sound unhinged. Is this what Any Forums does to a brain?

Good god I hope you were dropped on your head as a kid.
