horror sub-genres • daylight horror

daylight horror is simple. take any traditional horror scenario and set it outside in the middle of the day. the sun provides a false sense of security that horror stories can exploit and turn on its head.

The amount of people who didn't like this, and who didn't like the end half is very curious. I also wonder if it's mostly American critiques or if it's overall. 

HIM had humor, horror, and even held your hand a little bit if the viewer happens to be a person who hasn't experienced the world of not only football, but the mentality of an athlete—especially an injured one. Which, for me, wasn't a disadvantage. Every scene had a purpose. I loved the end, and love when horror goes into a paranormal direction that is beyond catholic/christian religion. I love the base statement that there are many "religions" in this world, especially in America --despite "popular" belief, especially under capitalism. But it creates this statement by showing us the parallels. And there is even so much more when it comes to the main character within this system as well.

Makes me wonder if a few of those bad reviews are a result of the influences of big brther “USFF” 👁️ hahahhh jk

HIM is also a great example of the horror genre reflecting the anxieties and fears of a films originating society. Were the reactions of "the film didn't make sense" some sort of denial? The end definitely was a reflection of my anxieties. 

Thinking about watching Suspiria (2018) now. Both movies would make a good double feature. Just a thought but, I wonder if American viewers in particular are more comfortable with a horror like Suspiria (both versions) because it seems "foreign" and has that unfamiliar 'European' air to it, with like older buildings, environments, and the film style. It's easy to other the content and remain only an observer. While in HIM the themes might seem a bit too familiar to American culture. Are the obvious symbols and critiques too uncomfortable?

"Midsommar is a cautionary tale about how easily one can fall victim to a cult's manipulation tactics." Yeah well, you could start by not accepting every single unknown hallucinogenic drug they keep offering you. Especially if you're not mentally stable to begin with. Especially if they refuse to tell you what's in it or what it does. How about that.

Sometimes a ride did him good. Cleared his head and brought him back to reality. Sometimes, though, it simply dropped him back in the past; the memory flush against the present in a way it takes too long to outrun. Not all of his fears lived in the dark.
