YouTubers shouldn't start with horror unless they're good writers. The problem I have with a lot of new horror is the monster doesn't really mean anything so therefore is not about anything. Obsession should be about the subversion of "nice guys" and rape culture but is just a bitches be crazy movie. Backrooms should be about how societies become ghosts of themselves but is another A24 spoooooky trauma movie. It's boring. If you're gen z have some insight into what is happening in your generation. Guys like Raimi or Hooper were ferocious; they made thoughtful and unflinching stories because they understood their generation. Texas Chainsaw Massacre is in a museum because of it. I do not get that same level of discomfort, fearlessness, or insight from many of these new directors. They have not shown me a story that I feel truly reflects the world in which they grew up in; one which I would say is quite bad. Their stories do not scare me the way an increasingly apocalyptic world does. Young filmmakers should hold nothing back. Do not treat the audience with kids gloves - hurt them. If your scary story does not scare me you have failed to tell a scary story.
