Shooting horror films is easy to say and easy, especially for most horror films, the pursuit of sensory and spiritual stimulation is the first choice of audiences. Therefore, such films do not have to reflect how profound human and social issues like some literary films, nor do they need to be like some literary films. A feature film should have a more rigorous storyline. As long as you are disgusting and scary enough, the audience will buy your account. However, from another point of view, it is not easy to make horror movies well. This is evident from the ratings of horror movies on the IMDB website. Most horror movies hover below 6 points, and some even get 2 points. Very low score around the score. On the one hand, this reflects the fact that there is a lack of high-quality horror films. On the other hand, it also shows that Hollywood bosses are not willing to put too much effort into horror films. Moreover, many directors and actors who enter Hollywood often use horror films as their own. , also shows the status of this kind of film in the hearts of filmmakers.
Of course, from a commercial point of view, horror films are also very popular for good reasons. Horror movies are now almost an integral part of the Hollywood film industry. It has the advantages of low cost, quick money-making, and you never have to worry about lack of audience, even if your film is bad again. This is also the main reason why many film companies are so eager to shoot horror movies, such as Lionsgate, an independent producer that started out in horror movies and is still standing among the heroes of Hollywood. For example, the filming cost of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was only 9.5 million US dollars, and the box office revenue reached 51.2 million US dollars in only 10 days after its release in North America, and finally received more than 73 million US dollars in banknotes. I believe that every businessman will like this kind of business with small profits and big profits. And from the perspective of Hollywood's enthusiasm for shooting horror films now, it is still the same as it was back then. In the case that various themes have been filmed, the remake craze has swept again. "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" seems to have been put on the screen many times before, and the 2003 film is also a remake version. Saw Man "to a certain extent represents a style of American horror films. Of course, you still don’t have to worry about these films losing money. It’s normal to make one or two films out of ten. Those movie bosses who are counting the banknotes and having fun in the back will definitely not worry about this.
The reason why horror movies are so popular is also closely related to the living conditions of modern people. Modern people who are almost in a fixed pattern and busy with social events, rarely have their own free time, and are always in a mediocre state of mind, need to find a way to vent to balance their psychology. Those thought-provoking and thought-provoking literary films can certainly make them find emotional resonance, but after all, they need to participate in all aspects of their thinking. This is not the case with horror movies. You can watch with a simple heart. At most, you can imagine yourself as the protagonist in the film, and accompany them to be nervous and afraid without spending too much thought. At the same time, judging from the preference of many viewers for the perverted killer horror film "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", a kind of masochistic complex of modern people is also revealed. They neither like the current state of existence, but also find it difficult to give up that right This kind of fascination with life has no choice but to express dissatisfaction through an emotional vent.
All in all, horror films can be watched as a type of film or studied as a phenomenon. As long as there is the commercialization of movies and the needs of modern people, horror movies will never disappear on the big stage of movies.
