Low Budget Horror Films Will Save Hollywood Studios From Bankruptcy

[@TsDwelling]

I don’t want Hollywood to be saved. We need change.

[@iswearimcreativeproduction7604]

The amount of showtimes and money Marvel makes for Hollywood, you’d think they would be alright

[@dannyvestal299]

I can most definatly relate!👈🏼💪🏻

[@dannyvestal299]

@@iswearimcreativeproduction7604 Aint that the truth, along with the other hits here and there...corrupt just like politics...smh

[@sanorabaptiste]

So agree. Let it burn.

[@iswearimcreativeproduction7604]

FUCK HOLLYWOOD, go indie

[@mikewilson858]

It makes total sense. Horror is cheap by nature. People like seeing them in theaters, especially young people. If you can make 100-200 million on a 5-10 million budget you can afford 5 flops and still turn a profit for the studio.

[@fishjones4618]

Any moderately and sensibly budgeted movie that has the potential to yield high returns can save Hollywood no matter the genre. As Robert Meyer Burnett has suggested, instead of dumping 100 million dollar splooge fest for a weekend, make ten 10 million dollar films helmed by up and coming directors with a unique voice and vision (and not necessarily sleep inducing Oscar bait movies) and pepper them throughout the year. One of them may yield a hit even if it’s a sleeper. Not every film has to cross certain thresholds.

[@budbrigman]

It’s kind of always been that way. New Line, the studio behind the epic, loved Lord of the Rings franchise, was known as “The House that Freddy Built.”

[@adamaccountname]

It's funny how Peter Jackson had to beg to be given a chance and newline being a small player went sure, they had nothing to lose

[@budbrigman]

@@adamaccountname Jackson wanted to do it in two movies, and Robert Shaye said “Isn’t it three books? Here’s money for a trilogy.” And then Shaye squandered all the money afterwards and killed the studio. Sad ending.

[@DCeasedbrickbuilds]

Walter Hamada is about to sh*t rainbows all over the horror genre.

I'm loving these live streams Mr H. Thank you for your dedication and hard work to bring us this content. Much appreciated brother.

[@MrHReviewsLIVE]

Thanks man, its a lot of work I won't lie, but trying to build something and provide you guys with great content

[@ExceptBacon]

Would love to see more parasitic/contagion type horrors, like The Knowing and maybe more dimensional/space creature flicks, like The Mist. Miss the days when things could just be inherently evil and overpowering, that could unite people/humanity, instead of petty protagonists, that just fuck around and find out.

[@fishjones4618]

They couldn’t be more wrong. In the early 1970’s with the rise of “New Hollywood” auteurs like Spielberg, Lucas, Scorsese, and Coppola, one can count the number of horror films on one hand: The Exorcist and Jaws. With the independent director explosion of the early 1990’s with Tarantino, Rodriguez, and Smith, you can’t count the number because there wasn’t any. What’s going to save Hollywood is what always saved it. New voices with a fresh vision and a studio management daring enough to give them a chance.

[@darkwoods1954]

If the writing and poor attitude of creators stays the same then people will still stay away no matter what the genre.

[@decay79]

One can certainly hope you are right, tho i do hope they will be better than It follows and Smile.. Thin ass tea..

[@bedfordshiremodeller4491]

Your all correct horror films with save cinema's. As long as they still hav them/that their's amass market then people will still pay to go/watch them

[@kuca65]

Jason Voorhees is the goat 🐐 Friday 13th will always be the best slasher franchise of all times!!!

[@BlueLighteningGojo]

Hollywood has gone unchallenged for the longest time….let them fail, so we can get better movies and shows.

[@Bazzkorg]

Could this also mean a Lovecraft film be made or is Lovecraft horror more for big budget?

[@thampex]

Would love to see a remake of the howling

[@mikecinema7443]

Good prediction. Hollywood trends are cyclical.

[@mikewilson858]

If you have good trailer do you need a lot of marketing? For some of these I was actively forcing my friends to watch these trailers for free.

[@wcw2793]

If it's done right, I would love to see a modern day adaptation of Salem's Lot. It's my favorite Stephen King book and probably my favorite vampire book. Wolfen, by Whitley Strieber, is another one that would be great for the big screen (I know it's already been made but it was nothing like the book).

[@raoulduke344]

There's an adaption of Salems Lot being made just now

[@wcw2793]

@@raoulduke344 Nice! Who is making it?

[@raoulduke344]

@wcw2793 Gary Dauberman and New Line Cinema. I think it's coming out in spring next year.

[@seanjohal7]

There is room for big event films, but it must be quality. Horror is always a smart move, but again a creative pool of talent need to roam like Kevin Fiege, Christopher Nolan and other talents. Constantine R rated DC is a smart move. Supernatural comic arena another field unexplored.

[@evalramman7502]

Mr. H is right. But not just horror. Most films don't require enormously high budgets. Just good characters, story, etc., etc.

[@maviki327]

Has anyone seen on instagram, a group is making a new freddy movie. I believe it'll be released on youtube, but its called Dylans New Nightmare.

[@kellybrincks]

Look at Terrifier 2 box office take

[@SJK-ROW-K]

Horror has always been the date movie Kerrrchiiiinger for any studio!

[@dUCkslF]

Its mad it took this long for so many people to "wake up"

[@bioshock6935]

I like the supernatural films like insidious 1 and 2 along with the conjuring 1 and 2 if they can do it like that with a good story with proper jump scare's for me that's a good low budget film that could make Huge money

[@krissymarklewis1793]

This has been a great year for horror.

[@SaRENRampaiger]

Terrifier 2, Hellraiser 2022, Old Man, The Lair, etc

[@kellybrincks]

And don't forget Satanic Panic is on the rise so more Rock n' Roll Nightmares \m/

[@pdzombie1906]

Most underapreciatted genre in Hollwood history, buy the one which always saves their a***es...

[@2tone209]

AY UP MR H

[@stevenlarge895]

If they released event horizon now it would make 500 million easy

[@kellybrincks]

Ugh. Blumehouse has such a hit and miss record that I don't even care when they release a movie anymore.

[@krampusklaws2238]

It can work but only if they don't fuck around with the advertising and release like they did with Hellraiser 2022. They ned to stop being so scared and advertise them PROPERLY and release them across the board, not on one streaming site exclusive to America then fuck around for a month or two before releasing it outside the USA and lose a fuck ton of views to piracy views.

[@chrisschultz6129]

Lets build back better folks. Let these legacy studios fail and build back with new better studios like daily wire.

[@Amanredpill]

Bet you looking foward to it H! Me personally i cannot stand horror unless its clever. I find them all generic and formulaic. Never like horrors much anyway. I would like to see another 90, action hero phase in response to the wokeness. last action hero 2 but hire stallone instead.

[@supman7020]

All rebooted horror movies suck this year.

[@darkwoods1954]

I'd love to see a horror revival but not this poncy ''elevated horror'' .

[@kellybrincks]

I am sorry. The Nun was terrible

[@raam726]

Prey isn't horror

[@MrHReviewsLIVE]

It's in the same wheel house as the context of the discussion

[@bedfordshiremodeller4491]

Prey has horror elements embedded into the film itself even though it technically isn't ahorror film

[@shadowcodestv]

science fiction & horror elements

[@kellybrincks]

A24 has owned the horror genre for the last decade. Every movie they make is basically some form of horror
