Soft-Core Horror


Dubbed responsible for anything I decide, Soft-Core Horror is not as it sounds.

SOFT-CORE HORROR is anything that has a plot, yet still has a large amount of jazz-er-size to it. Such as the remake of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (2003). PLENTY of bloody n hanging from a meat hook, and PLENTY of sappy story about a lovely couple. Together, the combination makes for an amazing horror movie that is easy to put yourself into. When you can relate to a character, you feel more fear.

PURE-Horror is dubbed for anything that is lacks a mind-altering plot- such as the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1973) with the running, running, running, (ving-ving) running and running some more. This movie was AMAZING, and carried everything that is needed in true horror- blood and death and some ving-ving. Don't get me wrong, i am a big fan of the Ving-Ving, but I feel as though it needs a little more.

Now in a genre all its own, is what i like to call Baby-Sitter-Horror. This is minimal nasty-gore-effects and maximum lame story. Perfect example of this, is the remake of the movie "Shutter" (2008), when that kid from Dawson's Creek talks WAY too much and there is an occasional eeek-jump moment with some creepy dead chick. When the plot outweighs the gore- you have yourself a shitty Baby-Sitter-Horror Movie.

So... The results? Soft-Core-Horror is the way to go.
