Horror movies nowadays are beginning to lack originality, having exhausted the best ideas during our parents’ time. Yet, there are some movies that are still able to keep us in suspense and awe, making us thirsting for more. While no one likes ending up watching a poorly-made plot, it does not mean that you cannot make educated decisions on the movies you choose to watch.
Visit the movie’s official website to read the synopsis and watch the trailers. When you read the synopsis, you get the idea of what the movie is about; this helps especially if you are only interested in certain types of plot. Watching the trailers allow you to have a look at the cinematography. This tends to be a deciding factor for a lot of people, as some prefer gloomy atmospheres, while others prefer continuously exhilarating horror movies.
You can also check out newspapers, magazines, and the Internet for horror movie reviews. Although different people have different perspectives to what makes a decent movie, reading reviews enables you to grasp an average view of the show. You can also for opinions towards the movie from friends; especially those who share similar interests, as your train of thoughts tend to be aligned with one another.
On the other hand, you can post up your very own horror movie reviews to help others decide, too. It is best if you are not biased towards particular actors or directors, but give an honest review on how you found the movie. This way, people will be willing to read what you thought about the movie, not the people that made it the way it is. If a reader were to be biased on your other extreme, the person is likely to dislike you as the person for your opinions.
All in all, get a second opinion before choosing the movie to watch. You would not want to sit through a 2-hours horror movie wishing you hadn’t.
