Other than Freddy, Saw, and the Smile Monster why have wee seen such a shortage of horror movies that are actually High Concept? Would the genre benefit from being more Concept?

I mean I get the budget issues and everything but there is still an issue with the general level of shit content.

>Would the genre benefit from being more Concept?
Yes, but that would require writers of actual talent and skill and knowledge. Concept horror today is ‘[evil object/villain] is metaphor for ____’

>>212894975
"is a metaphor for depression, mental illness, etc."
Maybe I will actually try my hand at it because I've got pretty good Concept. The first challenge is producing the content and then an even bigger hurdle is getting distribution because there is a promotion of shit tier and networks of bullshit.

>>212895307
I’m intrigued. Care to shed some light on how you would Concept a new Saw movie?

>>212895442
Sure
>In a rare move, the District Attorney agrees for three co-defendants to be tried in the same trial. Hoffman, Dr. Gordon, and Logan are facing "justice" for their roles as Jigsaw's apprentices and their participation the activities labeled as crimes by the state. The case has become a massive spectacle among the media and online true-crime podcast types, and the three defendants have been appropriately dubbed "the Jig3". As the court case progresses, we see a series of flashbacks. As a flashback ends, we see that the flashback story was being told by one of the survivors of one of the Jig3's tests. As the trial progresses, tensions escalate at an incredible pace and that has nothing to do with the media and podcasters trying to break down the doors to the court room and ambush key figures in the proceedings at the end of each day. While they initially appear to present a unified front, the Jig3 soon appear to be turning on each other. But there's a lingering sense that nothing in this trial is as it seems, and we soon discover that these court proceedings are connected to the twisted posthumous will and legacy of none other than John Kramer himself.

There is no such thing as “high concept” horror. It’s a genre for mouth breathing retards too stupid to understand real creative film. Thinking that a puppet is somehow “high concept,” nevermind completely derivative of Chucky, and a dozen other similar unorginnial characters just proves low iq you really are. Now, stop samefagging about this shit no one cares about and get back on the short bus to the sharty, loser.

>>212895870
you seem uncreative, bitter, and bordering on deranged.

>>212895984
Yep. Zero Concept.

>>212895984
You heard him. Back to shvrty, loser.

>>212895984
you’re a mentally ill loser that spends every waking moment spamming and samefagging retarded hated forced memes on a Mongolian basket weaving forum, and getting multiple bans daily. Jesus, you literally have no life or friends. It’s beyond pathetic. Just fuck off.

>Would the genre benefit from being more Concept?
Not necessary, because the execution could be shit. As a recent example, I find the pic to be overpraised and mediocre, even if the premise/concept/pitch is relatively high (or at least new) at the time for the general public.
I like the idea of a film with a group of survivors not able to communicate via speaking and have to resort to sign language. However, as the film goes on my suspension of disbelief is constantly eroded especially in the world building. It becomes less horror and more face palming.
Seriously, no one in that world thought of a sonic based weapon for those things? I'll give them a lot of space for bad planning of their pipes for the baby bunker, but the characters become more and more retarded as the film goes on. I can't sympathize with the daughter, she's such a stupid bitch.
It gets worse as the prequel reveals to us that the invasion started in modern post-2010 times and not the 80-90s (which I thought due to the lack of LCDs and PCs in the first film).

Tremors was more entertaining and tense, even though the concept is lower and the tone more lighthearted, just because the acting and chemistry is better.

No one made you post your opinion in here. But you felt the urge before complaining about the thread in 4 following posts. I am simply informing you that what you said is borderline retarded and had no bearing on what the OP said. So your grandstanding rant was actually based on a severe misinterpretation of what OP wrote.
>who cares
Evidently you do.

Try to find joy in life. You are miserable and make constant attempts to make others join you. I’m sorry about your parents and your imobility, but they wouldn’t want you to behave like this.

>>212898494
tl;dr quit samefagging milhouse

I really do not understand what you get out of spamming teevee with your unfunny bullshit every single day, and you've been doing it for over a year now. It was sort of funny seeing you melt down when 4chan was shut down, but man, you really have a problem.

Would it be good if the new Mortal Kombat movie had more horror to it?

>>212894859
I guess a lot of it is just too expensive to do well...

I guess there is The Purge. Those movies kind of stink though...

The first Purge was actually good. A right balance of a cool concept and execution. The sequels had the problem of trying to expand the world that wasn't really meant to be that deep and kills the fantasy. The First Purge is an example of writers being tryhards and trying appease autists nitpickers.

>The first Purge was actually good.
Just to clarify I meant the original The Purge movie made in 2013.
>The First Purge is an example of writers being tryhards and trying appease autists nitpickers.
Here I mean the sequel made in 2018. Fuck even the titles sucks for this series.
