Is franchise horror dead? Where does that leave us?

[Caftan King]

If people cared about those elements there would be more original movies out. Also, how many people are going into that movie to look at the score, direction and story? You will, and that's good. I know I will. Most people don't care. I think I was the only person to come out of NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET thinking the score was better than the movie. Again, not knocking you but rather praising you for actually paying attention to those elements. That means you are more critical when it comes to viewing a movie.

[COLOR="Teal"]Okay if people dont care about storylines and other elements why we hear some "oh, we've seen that before" or " wait, I heard that before", and a few jump scares that fail to get a reaction because they already watch it on other movies.

It only means that people watch and monitor every second of the film.

Maybe in your place, moviegoers dont really c are about that but here in my place... you will see that they really care.. thesev elements have kept frightened audiences sitting at the edge of their seats, horrified and yet entertained despite the health risks not just those blood and body count. While the shock factor has evolved, the desire to get a real scare has remained unyielding.
