Horror icon shows up with such an extreme level of Concept and carrying out the plan that he dominates the genre for 20 whole years to the point where it's really not even close. When is he going to stop being underrated?

It's almost crazy to think that a force like him could actually be underrated in a day and age when so much stuff in the genre is way overrated.

He's the kind of character you would just naturally DIE to see in a versus film like Freddy vs. Jason.

The late 90s and early 2000s were so dominated by Scream and a certain kind of Tarantino-ism. So where do you take the horror genre next? Exactly where he did. He delivered a reaction against the pleasant aesthetics of the teen horror meta genre and back to the grimy walls and guts of its roots. And his first movie and the best of his sequels deliver a level of Concept so high that it's baffling to me that it isn't better understood as an ode to Hitchcock.
