No. That was indisputably the late 60s through the early 80s.

 

Jaws, The Exorcist, The Shining, Halloween, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of The Dead, Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, The Omen, The Amityville Horror, The Fog, Suspiria, Zombi 2, Rosemary's Baby, Friday the 13th, The Thing, An American Werewolf in London, The Evil Dead, Creepshow, Carrie, The Wicker Man, The Howling etc.

 

Yes. But I do think this is another era starting. It Follows, The Witch, Get Out. Those three films alone are a sign that something has changed dramatically in the genre. At least in America. I have been a horror nerd since the mid 90s. I don't think I have seen horror films this good get released ever since then. I mean that in terms of art and cultural importance. You can certainly point to more artistically rich horror films over the last 20 years, but i don't think many if any will have the cultural importance of TF,TW, and GO.

We haven't had a slasher horror film since 2013.....damn that is a long time. I wonder why studios aren't making slasher horror. 

 

You haven't watched We Are Still Here yet?

I think horror movies kinda work in waves, don't they? Slasher horror won't take long to be back I think.

 

While I wouldn't say you're wrong, I can't also agree. We always have one kind of movie that end generating a lot of cheap copies, but there's enough space to every Horror movie explore something different, we're currently living one of the most intriguing and diversified ages for the genre, movies like The Witch, or Get Out explores the social vertence of the genre, while movies like Split and The Shallows just tries to be pure escapism.

Hopefully.

 

Split and Get Out are a move in the right direction. Away from ghosts.

[Exclusive] We’ve Got the First ‘Saw: Legacy’ Plot Details; Tobin Bell Returning!

 

Spoiler

Set for release on October 27th, eighth franchise installment Saw: Legacy hopes to revive the series that seemingly came to an end back in 2010; but what the hell is it about? Plot details have thus far been shrouded in secrecy, to the point that we haven’t yet seen a trailer or even any official still images, but we were able to exclusively get our hands on the first story details.

Bloody Disgusting has learned that Saw: Legacy will begin with bodies turning up around the city, each having met a uniquely gruesome demise. As the investigation proceeds, evidence points to one man: John Kramer. But how can this be? The man known as Jigsaw has been dead for over a decade. Or has an apprentice picked up the mantle of Jigsaw, perhaps even someone inside the investigation?

We understand that neither Costas Mandylor nor Cary Elwes will be returning to play their respective characters, who both ended up becoming Jigsaw apprentices in earlier installments. As for the original Jigsaw himself, we’ve been told that Tobin Bell will be back in some capacity.

The cast also includes Mandela Van Peebles, Hannah Anderson, Laura Vandervoort, Brittany Allen, Callum Keith Rennie, Matt Passmore, Hannah Emily Anderson, Josiah Black, Shaquan Lewis, Michael Bolsvert, and James Gomez.

Saw: Legacy was written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger, the duo behind Piranha 3D, Piranha 3DD, and Sorority Row. In the director’s chairs were the Spierig brothers, Peter and Michael, who brought us Undead, Daybreakers and Predestination.

Franchise staples Mark Burg and Oren Koules returned to produce.

Never had the stomach for these movies - they're borderline torture porn - but I do like the crazy connective tissue the series has. 

 

If these movies weren't so fucked up with the various traps and stuff the victims have to go through then I'd be all over this, but ghosts and haunting are more my style of horror so the Conjuring franchise is my go-to horror franchise for now.

[Xillix]

Unpopular opinion I'm sure but... the original 1979 version of The Amityville Horror is one of my favorite horror flicks and I really dig Amityville II: The Possession as well. I've been desperately waiting for Amityville: The Awakening since its trailer came out in fall 2014 ahead of a supposed January 2015 release. It feels like Dimension and the Weinsteins have been teasing me personally ever since. Now with Wish Upon plopped onto the same date as the current claimed release of The Awakening I'm worried they'll delay it again. To be honest I can't imagine it doing any sort of decent box office anyway. I wish they'd just dump it on Blu-ray so I could watch it already.

My main problem with this franchise is far for being too brutal, after watching so many slasher and gore movies, Saw looks like an Illumination movie.

 

No, my problem with this franchise is how it don't have nothing more to offer apart of these tortures, it's just ridiculous how these movies don't have any quality value, a teenage with an iPhone could direct a better movie than this, and let not me even start talking about the edition, it seems that they hired a maniac to edit these movies, we can't even see what's going on the sceen, I mean, what's the point of making a movie about torture if you don't even have enough courage to show what's going on the screen?

 

I really hate this franchise, and I hope that this movie will bomb, and knowing Lionsgate, I'm sure that this is going to happen.

They're probably going to make a VOD/Cinema release for this one, like happened with PA5. 

[Mockingjay Raphael]

So, Split oficially surpassed Annabelle to become the third biggest Horror movie of this decade, it is sitting at $265m, and it's going to finish at $280m+.

 

Get Out is slaying at UK, and has potential to be another $200m grosser.

 

Two Horror movies grossing $200m WW, and we still have It, Annabelle 2 and The Nun

 

Madness.

Wait, is The Nun coming out this year? I didn't think they'd even started filming yet.

[Xillix]

The Nun is scheduled for July 2018.

[Mockingjay Raphael]

Oh, shit, you guys are right, I could swear that there were two TCU movies coming out this year, lol.

[Mockingjay Raphael]

I just watched The Bye Bye Man.

 

WTF was that? It does not even look like a movie, it looks like they just cut and pasted pieces of footage, the ending of some scenes did not even make sense, I have to agree with @Krissykins on this, such an horrible movie.

 

This year has been such a hit or miss for the genre. While it already produced two -already classic movies-, it also produced these awful movies (TBBM, ACFTW, Rings).
