Fallen Through the Cracks

With hundreds of horror films released each year, what happens to the movies that fail to earn attention from the ‘accredited’ RottenTomatoes sites? And what does it say about the industry that some mainstream horror sites have historically been left on the outside looking in?

I read through some of the articles on this site, and they're fairly interesting and well-written. The site only seems to publish about one article a month, which I definitely appreciate.

Maybe this is just me getting older, but I've found that these days I'm less interested in actually watching movies than I am in listening to people talk about them. To give an example, Asteroid City made me hate everyone and everything, but I could imagine enjoying an essay about it. To give a more concrete example, I remember enjoying Last Shift back in 2014, but I have no desire to rewatch it, and I'm much happier reading (this) lovely and insightful essay.

I loved crimson peak too! I really don't pay attention to critic's reviews. I feel like their standards are too high and they criticise everything. Movies are too subjective for that.

I completely agree, and that's a good philosophy. 🥂✨
