    Do horror movies need good actors?
    yes.
    but sorry this…
    Horror seems to be over, as a genre.
    …is bullshit
    your examples, The Hills Have Eye & Wrong Turn, are 20 year old movies made in the 2000s when horror as a genre was at its all time low. horror now has never been better.
    for the record, here are my fav horror movies just for this year alone:
    if you've watched any of these you'll see how acting is absolutely phenomenal in these.
    just a few outstanding ones from THIS year alone:
    Naomi Scott in Smile 2
    Mia Goth in MaXXXine
    Joaquin Phoenix & Lady Gaga in Joker 2
    Cailee Spaeny & David Jonsson in Alien Romulus
    Nell Tiger Free in The First Omen
    Lupita Nyong'o in A Quiet Place: Day One
    Demi Moore & Margaret Qualley in The Substance
    Maika Monroe in Longlegs
    Kelsey Asbille in Don't Move
    Elizabeth Banks in Skincare
    Hugh Grant in Heretic
    Sydney Sweeney in Immaculate

      God, you have awful taste! All those movies are utter garbage. Only Don't Move was halfway decent. You have the taste of your generation, which is basically no taste at all. This is what comes of not reading any books and spending all your time on the Internet.

          You can't possibly like Dostoievsky and Woolf and Faulkner and like the movies you do. I think you're bluffing about the books. Or you just read them and didn't absorb anything.

            Bents you're hurting my feelings
            Dostoevsky is pretty much my fav writer of all time.

                  Also, glad you're reading all these great books. I'm re-reading Rousseau and Macaulay (of all people).

                    yeah i love reading but i pretty much read 99% literary fiction. philosophers kind of escape me lol i cant seem to get into any much with Deleuze and Voltarine de Cleyre being the only exceptions. how is Macaulay tho?

                      He has a marvellous prose style. Draws you in and keeps you. Horrible man, and I hate his views on almost everything, but he writes like an angel.
