If I cannot be a butterfly that flies through your skies...
Horror movies
Really, the whole scary little girl thing has been done. I mean, I haven't even seen movies with scary little boys in them as main evils. Actually, often it is a woman who is the big evil scary. Are women that scary? Maybe everyone whilst growing up was a little scared of their mother. Of course I am not counting the SAW movies, which is mostly a gorevest anyway.
hrm.
Or perhaps it's mostly because outside of the horror genre men are to most predominant evil. being portrayed as BIG BAD PEOPLE. Oh yes that must be the reason otherwise it would silly.
hrm.
Well, phones seem to be gaining in popularity too as evil people devices. I remember the ring using TV's. Technology is scary too, who would have thought? Well, anyway... the movies all share the same scaretactics that have been proven by the passing of time. Such as emotional music and sudden loud noises to startle you. Really, I never have been into horror movies much because of that reason. Horror movies are actually seemingly less innovative than the ''action movie'' franchise. Sure the movies don't always have the same ''reason'' for why shit started, but the rest is just... yeah. I wonder if there ever will be a horror movie that is placed in fantasy that I will bare seeing. I've seen sci-fi's that were quite entertaining ( but still carried out much akin to city/house/mansion/hospital/hotel based ones. )
hrm.
There are innovations in horrormovies, but the genre doesn't seem as saturated as the ''action movie'' one. Thereby lot of them seem to not innovate a lot because it is not necessary for good sales. But to say that action movies don't have the same problem is a lie. However generally speaking it seems that action movies just seem to have a little more variety... Of course they have larger public and more AAA titles so getting a bad actionmovie would mean you'd have to have seen all the good ones. Oh frig, Now I'm just rambling. Yeeez.
