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

        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).

        The social commentary isn't real it's in your mentally moronic "brain".

      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

      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.

      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

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

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

      correct.

    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.

    >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

    Boring pretentious bullshit. If I want to feel insignificant I'll ask a woman out. If I'm watching horror it's for the breasts. Why is this so fricking difficult to understand.

        It's fricking disrespectful to the genre as a whole, as though The Exorcist, Nosferatu, Videodrome, Possession, Don't Look Now, The Shining, Deep Red etc. belong to a genre for idiots that a handful of A24 directors had the idea to elevate into real art. Eggers and Aster would never agree to that and I don't know why publications feel the need to pretend the genre has always just been mindless jumpscares before The Witch invented the concept of atmosphere.
