actually mean? Modern horror films go for the in-the-moment scary bits
and tend to ignore any psychological fear they could add. They lack
what horror, in the past, used to have: pure fright.
True horror fans want to watch a film and sleep with the light on -
instead of turning the light off half way through the film.
The classic slasher film that kick-started the sub-genre were of
course "Peeping Tom" the 1960's film directed by Michael Powell. It
was a psychological horror about the Freudian relationship between the
protagonist and his father and the protagonist and his victims.
However, if you look deeper that a few cenitmeters, the film is as
much about the voyeurism of the audience as they watch the
protagonist's actions.
Another film to help the sub-genre of slasher on to it's feet is,
probably the most famous horror film, Psycho. It was created in 1960
(and re-made in 1998) and was directed by Alfred Hitchcock. This film
caused controversy due to how chilled it made its viewers.
These two films had the key factor to horror films - psychological
fright. Modern horror films do not go as far to play with the minds of
its viewers, it's only interested in a few short screams.
*** I will then go on to talk about other aspects of horror and my
opinion 'if horror has gone soft'.
so grade, tips, hints, ect. thankss -x-
