Human Monsters have always been present in cinema - And they ALWAYS "could have been your neighbor." Not novel of the 21st Century.
Black Christmas
Peeping Tom
Tenebre
Psycho
Halloween
Alice, Sweet Alice
Etc.
There's no transition here. Human Monsters existed AND Inhuman Monsters existed. There's no transition between the two.
Maybe pick a subgenre of horror and compare it to itself - The progression of the Slasher, for example...
Take the movies above and compare them to Ils, Inside, The Strangers, Halloween (remake), etc.
Or, as Urge mentioned, more relevant would be how horror movies reflect current socioeconomic times. How do horror movies reflect our collective conscious of fear?
What?! THINK FOR YOURSELF?! :eek: Now THAT is a truly horrifying concept. Go talk about that.
WHY is it that n00bs join and just TAKE TAKE TAKE - WHAT'S IN IT FOR US?!?!?!?!?!?!

Thank you very much for an answer instead of a flame.
I was actually not aware, that the horror genre had not changed in this way. I always thought it had.
Anyways, i'll try to look into your suggestions. Thank you :)
Oh, and to that other guy. Thinking for myself does not rule out being inspired by the opinion of others?
We didn't get where we are today by keeping our thoughts to ourselves.
