Cinema is a storytelling medium that’s constantly evolving and it’s truly remarkable how much movies have changed since the 1940s, especially when it comes to particular genres like horror. Horror remains one of cinema’s most versatile genres that examines the universal feeling of fear and suspense. Modern horror movies can be dense in gore or psychologically troubling. However, the ability to get away with more and push boundaries doesn’t always result in a stronger horror movie.
