Are Bloody Slasher/Torture Films Making a Comeback?

Horror is having a cultural moment. The genre’s low budgets often translate to big ROI, witness the “Terrifier” films and smashes like “M3GAN” and “Smile.”

We’re hungry for escapism given the real-world horrors in our daily headlines. The genre offers a safe way to experience the very worst emotions and come out without a scratch. 

Movie fans crave the return of practical effects over CGI. Slasher films often skip digital trickery for old-school makeup tricks.
