Horror films may be intended to scare you, but today they will just make you laugh.

Opinions are divided on whether it is nice or not to watch a horror movie. Some people are truly afraid of them to the point that they would walk out of a cinema mid-movie due to the terrifying situation. Then there are the super fans who never seem to get enough of it. They love this movie and truly enjoy the thrilling sensation, but they are also more critical of it. As not every horror movie is up to their standards, especially with the rise of movies that claim to be horror but are actually a bad script with a thousand jump scares purposely made to scare, but that it isn't that scary overall. 

I always consider myself someone who hates horror movies. I would always get really scared and have nightmares for weeks. To seem braver than I was, I usually told friends that I had no problem watching a horror movie, but only if it was in the cinema. This was because I had always been too shy to actually walk out of a movie if I was already there. So I would actually watch the full movie and just cry a couple of days after. Nowadays, maturity has hit me. Something has changed in my brain. Now I don't have that many problems watching horror movies. I think it's due to how horribly done they are nowadays. Nothing seems too scary anymore, especially in the long run. Like, yes, of course I'm afraid of the screamer jumping in my face, but that lasts for about two minutes, and that's it. 

Some of the last few horror movies that I saw and that explain my current thoughts on horror movies nowadays were: The Conjuring 4, which was so dumb and awfully done that I would have walked out of the cinema just for the second-hand embarrassment. Obsession, which I loved, and I think that has come to change the way horror is produced into a more psychological and critical way for today's society. And The Substance, this one may not be considered a horror film to some, but I think it is. I didn't find it terrifying, but it was definitely gory. I wasn't scared. I was indeed disgusted, as they intended. With that one, I truly don't know what to think, but it was definitely better than The Conjuring.
