The horror genre is loved by many even still today, having its roots as close as the late 18th century. While these writings have paved the way for the horror category in movies, modern horror is still very lacking and boring. The horror movies today are very unoriginal, boring, and overall uninteresting. This is the result of years of sequels that become dumber as the series progresses, overexposure to gore and violence, and a total disregard for originality and psychology.
