Modern Horror movies have drastically shifted in tone since the days of the boom in 80's Slasher Villains and 90's Teen Slashers. Films like Get Out, A Quiet Place, Us, and The Purge have all moved towards higher concept ideas, rather than memorable characters. The days of Freddy Kruger, Jason Voorhees, and Michael Myers are long gone, instead studios today rely on high concept scares. Will Modern Horror ever bring back truly memorable villains? Or are we destined for horror movies that scare us more with ideas?
