10 Films That Prove Horror Is One Of The Most Versatile Genres
Horror is a genre that many people love but many more people love to hate. While it is all too clear that modern horror films are below the standards of classics like The Exorcist and Psycho there is still hope for the genre since we have brilliant directors out there like Guillermo Del Toro and David Fincher working today. It is easy to dismiss horror films as derivative and unimaginative but if you look just under the surface you'll find the exact opposite to be true. Horror movies can be seen as reflections of society as a whole, meditations on humanity's deepest fears and great cautionary tales. Filmmakers can tell any story they want with horror and it is easily adapted to suit many other genres as well. It is incredibly versatile and shouldn't be written off by audiences the way it has been recently and I'm here to prove that horror has much more to offer than people give it credit for. I present to you, kind reader, 10 films that prove horror is one of the most versatile genres in film.
