I know you all will blast me for this but The Russo Brother doing horror would be interesting. They managed to do a pretty good job of creating tension in The Winter Solider and despite the Marvel method, I think they do a good job of keeping you focused on your characters but with all this chaos going on around you.

Saw Oppenheimer yesterday and thought to myself, what if this was just played straight as a horror movie. The scenes where Oppenhimer thinks of the people who get nuked is pretty chilling.

Alien invasions are not specifically horror like I would not call Independence Day horror but I'd call War of the Worlds (Spielberg) horror.

The Faculty is horror and that is alien invasion. Invasion of the Body Snatchers is horror.

Independence Day is an action/disaster movie which CAN be horror adjacent in my mind.

If it’s Saw vs Final Destination, I’m a Final Destination person all the way. The bad guy in the FD movies is literally death, so we don’t need to know their backstory of motivations.

Whereas in Saw (or at least Saw 4) the writers seem to think we all really want to know why Jigsaw is a killer and to hear more of his tortured philosophy, when all I really want are killer puzzle traps

I know its stupid because its horror movies but along these lines.

At some point the sprawling conspiracy of the Saw people would be figured out and snuffed out of existence. Again, its horror, I get that we have to suspend belief that a dream demon, a revenant in a lake, an ironman psychopath that can take no damage, exist but in universe they all KINDA make sense. Final Destination death says gently caress you, I am the boss and just gets ridculous but with Saw, the further it goes on the more people in it, it would be discovered.

Yeah and in the later movies the entire motivation of Detective Hoffman is "boy howdy i sure hope i don't get discovered like everyone else did" (he does).

I guess I am not explaining it well.

It feels like the amount of resources and timing and coincidence makes it feel contrived?

Oh so do you mean like the vastness of the conspiracy should have been discovered earlier? Yeah that makes more sense.

Yes! Thank you.
