10 Promising Recent Horror Movies That Totally Sucked – WhatCulture

We might be in a revivalist period for horror movies - at least in terms of box office performance and major studio attention, but it's not all plain sailing on Crystal Lake just yet.

The release of Paramounts Rings movie proved that the pressure to make box office hits with wide appeal (and franchise potential) is taking a toll on the horror genre.

The New York Daily News called Rings an inexcusably dull horror rehash while Consequence Of Sound claimed it was too heavily beholden with current trends to truly exploit the potential it displays. Ambition is being sucked away by the need to conform, resulting in a slew of disappointments.

The Task, Dream House and The Darkest Hour, all underwhelming pictures from 2011, wont ring many bells either, but neither will they go on to an afterlife as a cult favourite. Theyre not interesting enough to merit rediscovery or bad enough to be really worth watching, theyre just boring failures.

Slick, calculated and utterly forgettable, some horror films in recent years have promised the world but delivered Newark, New Jersey.
