horror is actually probably my least favorite genre 🫣 I've gotten more into it in the past few years, but I'm still *very* picky when it comes to the genre lol. I def do agree that there's a different vibe to more recent horror films and this is an interesting explanation of why.

also if you haven't seen Byzantium, I think you'd really be into it. it's more of a mystery/thriller than outright horror, but it's my favorite vampire film and Gemma Arterton is so 😵‍💫😵‍💫😳😳 (tw for rape tho, not shown onscreen but it is very clear what's about to happen)
