Went to Asian horror a long time ago and never looked back. The simple fact is that American “diversity” has been lazy writing. There’s so much that could be done but instead we get reiterated schlock since the early 2000s.
Check out Noroi, I Saw The Devil, Thirst, Three Extremes, Tale of Two Sisters, The Host, Audition, Infection (2004). Noroi and I Saw The Devil are masterpieces in their own ways. Story wise there’re leagues above anything Hollywood has made since the 80’s.
But that's sort of like sci-fi in that if they embed the message deeply into a fantasy situation, it can still feel real and entertaining. You can dance around subtle themes of inequality and discrimination without sacrificing the story. These days the creators and their intended audiences are too stupid to pick up subtlety so they have to hit you over the head with the virtue signaling.
In a more "grounded" modern-day setting like Scream there is no way to do that without ruining everything. (unless always killing the black guy first is their way of telling the audience how oppressed minorities are)
Quick let's invent a reason to lock them all in their homes and prevent them talking to each other.
I used to foolishly think that they couldn’t ruin horror

And I doubt we will ever get a fun 80s slasher again. I’ll look into Asian cinema

Thanks!
Korean films will start dominating US awards shows because they are exempt from their stupid diversity criteria.
No, thankfully I know nothing about BTS. 😉
I do know that Koreas are indoctrinated with feminist nonsense too.

I’ve heard of that. Zombies represent consumerism?
Yes that's why it was set in a mall.
I still liked the movie but I was a little young at the time to get a deeper meaning
what does this fine product represent?
Oh ok. I didn’t know that
Nothing. They didn't represent anything in Night.
I’ll be surprised when these hollywood assclowns make something worth watching.
I found some Russian tv series that are pretty good
the "people" that use the word "toxic" are the problem, not the fans.
Sound like the writers are doing some projecting about how meaningless their lives are.
Scream 5: I know what you did last January 6th.
Maybe the next killer can be a guy who was banned from OnlyFans, while they're chasing half-decade out of date memes.
