10 Horror Films That Are Basically Just T&A

Movies to keep you up all night.

William Goldman famously stated that nobody in Hollywood knows anything, but when it comes to horror films, that€™s not strictly true. In the horror genre, everyone knows that if a movie looks like it€™s going to stink artistically, you hedge your bets by filling it with comely young starlets. When the cheerleader strips off for a midnight swim, everyone forgets that the characters are best described as €œuncomplicated€ and the dialogue was written in crayon by an evil Wookie. Not only is nudity the cheapest special effect, but when the entire supporting cast wear their birthday suits, the viewer has a pretty fair idea of what to expect. To the uninitiated, horror must seem like a cottage industry built on the idea that horny young young guys just want to watch bimbos go to a remote location where€™s no cell reception, get naked and end up being chased by a psycho with a machete. If you check out some of the more obscure titles on Netflix, that€™s exactly what you€™re going to see. But surely, you ask, there must be more to these films than throwing together a bunch of lingerie models, jeopardizing them on the flimsiest of pretexts and then watching them confront a supernatural force in their underwear? No, not really. You see, if an idea€™s worth doing once, it€™s worth doing a thousand times. Prepare to be bludgeoned to death.
