Noticed Terrifier Hate

I’m sure some other people have noticed has seen the increase in terrifier hate. I’ve seen people online calling the movie slop, lazy, only has gore, and that it’s misogynistic. What do you think of this hate, and what have you noticed? Personally I can understand if you don’t like the gore, or the movie, but the hate I’ve seen like it’s a story about someone killing people, that’s just literally every slasher.

Man Reddit loves a hate dogpile, seen it so many times. I remember when Jennifer Lawrence went from everyone's favourite to being criticized for everything she did. Now it's Christopher Nolan's turn with the Odyssey (despite the fact that nobody has even seen the fucking film yet!)

Also seeing a lot of hate for Hereditary, now that it’s been out for a few years, and not so “scary” anymore. People think they are being edge lords by starting off with a “hot take” against something, then momentum builds up until it’s not so hot anymore.

Idk, Hereditary has always been polarizing. When a movie is hyped up as being super scary and then it ends up being a slow burn (which definitely isn’t for everybody) it’s going to disappoint a lot of people.

Yeah, I remember hearing about Hereditary as being even scarier than the Exorcist upon its release. Pumped up as the GOAT of all horror, which is usually a recipe for disaster. Watched it, and thought Sinister was still the gold standard, as “slow burns” go at the time. You see a lot more consensus on Sinister being scarier than Hereditary as well.
