Heaven VS Hell! Where does that leave us?

[Michigan Swamp Buck]

Ah, the hell with it. This quote will help you understand.

In the last decade, the horror genre has experienced a renaissance. Horror films have seen a huge increase in critical acclaim, increased critical engagement in analysis of the genre, and an increase in available budgets for horror films and box office returns. One of the most noticeable trends within the genre in the 2010s has been an increasing divide in the stylistic approach to the genre. On one hand, we have more mainstream, “jump scare” horror films, on the other, there are horror movies that take an art-house approach to the genre. The mainstream type leans into the conventional, established approach to scaring the audience, while the more art-house horror films focus more on the metaphorical or psychological, looking to disorient its audience and create a sense of dread or unease instead of straightforward scares.

This, the "art-house approach" to horror. 

Slasher films and the jump-scare tactic create reflexive responses to horror. Horror must evolve and art-house horror is the way forward IMO. This is my purpose with all this. Now, I haven't shared my concept of how to achieve the art-house goal, so that is safe for now, but that last sentence, that is where I am headed.

the metaphorical or psychological, looking to disorient its audience and create a sense of dread or unease instead of straightforward scares.

I hope that makes things clearer for everyone and opens the discussion up more. This is the only place I ever mentioned any of this. Literally (pun intended), no one knows what I am trying to do.
