The Perfect Host, which is more of a psychological thriller, falls in this category. It's one that you need to go into blind since the trailer spoils one of the major twists (even if you've already figured it out based on the title).
But it isn't. That really only applies to most Blumhouse pieces of shit.
Oh, she's one of those Austin horror scene chicks who does stuff with film labels and has a podcast and is a feminist that I was not previously familiar with
Usually there's some kind of prologue or foreshadowing or crazy YOU KIDS ARE DOOMED guy. I don't remember Hostel having anything like that at all until pretty far into the movie. From Dusk Till Dawn either. I think Don't Look Now might qualify.
Here's two newer "horror" movies that people really love desperately, Mandy, and Skinamarink. These are both some of the most talked about horror films in recent years. Skinamarink was made by a flamboyant gay guy that says it's "Reddit's movie", and Mandy was made by a guy who says he is allergic to masculinity and toxic masculinity is the worst thing in the world and says that's what the movie is about. That's just two of the most popular horror movies that aren't Blumhouse. You can keep going on and on with these, just about every single horror movie made these days with some kind of studio backing is pozzed. Homemade SOV movies made by autists like "Toxic Retards" are our only hope.
2016 called, it wants your hot take back.
It's not even about popularity. There is so much shit horror pushing leftist ideas it's impossible to avoid. Even if you do find a good idea it's probably going to have a mystery meat genderspecial as the main character or side kick.
Yeah I was using those movies as examples because they aren't as blatant and they are really loved by pretty much all horror fans today, you could use tons more examples that are even more obvious than those movies or more recent than Mandy. I hate Skinamarink but I actually really like Mandy, I thought it would be interesting to read up about the movie and I just find a bunch of cringe gay "progressive" circle jerking from the writers and directors. This happens with almost every studio backed movie.
Nice insult, they make it for men?
You couldn't tell that from the main character and title?
A24? More like Gay24.
Well if you keep going it's only getting worse.
The sixth one is especially shit, and you only need to look at the IMDB trivia to see how lazy it is:
Most horror series are sucking after the 5th one any way. It's just a bit strange Six shooter is way more animated and the the puppeteering was even better than 4. But everything else is a step back.
And then the next one is still worse
The story behind part 6 (or Curse) is more interesting than the movie itself. It was supposed to be a Puppet Wars movie with the Puppets fighting various tiny creatures ala parts 4 and 5 but funding fell through and Full Moon was not in the best financial shape with Paramount cancelling their deal. But, Blockbuster still demanded another Puppet Master movie so Charles Band completely just shit out a movie and reused the Tank puppet from Puppet Wars or some other abortion.
