I can tell you one thing with absolute certainty, horror movies are near impossible to pull off.
Either you're looking at a really over dramatic Frankenstein meets Andrew Loyd Weber slasher bull****
Or you're just looking at gore, that is so physically impossible that the only way you can interpret it, is as absurdity
99% of horror movies I've seen, are in that boat, not many actually legitimately scare or actually psychologically/emotionally effect me at all, it's not a good mark for these "horror" directors
