Over the years, there have been many genres of horror movies. There are those who set out to scare, those who took the comedic route, and those who just threw stuff together. It seems horror and comedy are like salt and water, they can be used seperate or together, but sometimes the water gets too salty. I recall the "Return of the Living Dead" movies, which took the comedic route. The movies were entertaining, who doesn't like seeing zombies crying out for "brains" and using police radios to "send more cops". It seems that most horror movies throw in a bit of comedy to settle the audience. I personally would like to see a horror movie, which does not involve cheap humor for filler. I know there are talented directors and writers out there, who have the ability to make a horror movie, which has no fillers and doesn't drop the plot by the end of the movie. I would love to see a movie that has a strong plot, non-stop thillers, and good sound work. The sound work and lighting are essential parts to horror movies, good sound work and lighting can make a piece of bubble gum stuck under a chair seem scary. I recently saw a preview for an upcoming movie "The Messengers", which looks promising. I have been let down before, but we will see. I'm hoping to get some water with no salt.
