What will horror movies look like in the next decade? | via scoutmagph
. The monsters in this era now seemed to be embedded in society itself. And in the 2010s, social and psychological arthouse horror seemed to take center stage , bringing the monster deeper inward and into our collective, late-capitalism grief.
The fact is, the scariest thing about today’s film industry is that there are fewer and fewer corporations calling the shots. As more film studios are acquired by growing conglomerates, and as streaming services commission more new content instead of preserving the classics, it’s a possibility that horror produced by the remaining studios might be homogenized even further—the same existing styles, to appeal to the broadest audiences, to ensure profits.
But thinking optimistically, it’s these exact conditions that might also lead to horror’s return to its grimy, underground roots that made it so popular along with those video stores in the ’70s and ’80s. We already know that the genre can respond to previous trends, so it’s also a possibility that devoted genre filmmakers will challenge studios’ clean and calculated products by releasing absolute filth .
It’s also my hope that horror in the near future will take aim at everything happening to the industry today. Fear of control and assimilation are already pretty prevalent in horror .
Again, these are still rough predictions for the future, based on a general view of horror’s history and today’s industry. But if we take Noël Carroll’s definition of horror to heart, I think we can be sure that even when the monster becomes cinema itself, it’s still our job not to just let it be. We have to face it.
