The quality of horror cinema is way too shit.

Look at all these examples. Why can't we have this level of kino in full feature length cinema format.

It's like hollywood or normiewood has stagnated in terms of quality and environment and there are fan films out there with far better depth, detail, and environment than actual blockbuster movies out there.

Answering to the lowest common denominator has been a real let down for cinema.

The fact that alien 1 is still counted as one of the best horror movies out there shows exactly how stagnant western cinema is in terms of quality. It's like all the movie grads learnt nothing after "don't have too many jumpscares" as one of the pieces of advice from the last generation.

The quality of cinema today could probably be doubled or tripled with ease if only there was a team who cared enough, had the funds, and also the required levels of artistic freedom to make their vision come true.

Nicholas cage appears to be the only novelty innovator in hollywood anymore and that is just sad.

There were some hopes for the A24 studio but they went down the route of le heckin wrong think accusation plus high tier atmosphere for an indie movie.

28 weeks later released in 2007, and we haven't had zombie kino half as good in 1.5 decades and counting now.

We are stuck with marvel slop now. Half of which has been trash lately. The current marvel phase is likely to be the weakest one of all time.

Cinema is dead, and the normies killed it.

Just to be clear, I am not arguing that some great high budget movies haven't released in recent times. I am arguing that the average quality of cinema today is shit, with entire genres of cinema being shit, like horror.

It's like the entire industry is stuck in some shitty loop of telling all their stories in the same order, the same style, the same scope, and the same angle, with only the script changing at best, if not being an outright copy of some earlier material.

You have any idea how shit cinema has to be for Avatar 3 to be the most exciting thing coming out of it next year?

Decent CGI has existed since 2007 or 2008. It's been 1.5 decades since then. Good CGI should be in the hands of the average indie developer by now, but instead we are stuck with shitty CGI making its way up to the highest budget movies out there ( looking at you black widow movie ).

Cinema is so shit right now that bringing back animatronic looking monsters is considered revolutionary right now.

This looks so fricking stupid for a monster design. Like some trash from 2013. How the frick are people celebrating this as innovative in current year is beyond me.

Video games have probably evolved at a 10x to a 100x rate compared to movies and cinema. No wonder vidya beats the income of movies today.

Conclusion:

Current day horror scene sucks. Current day science fiction scene is doing average. Current day cinema on average sucks with only the biggest budget movies somehow pulling their weight.
