have you tried movielens.org algorithmic film suggestion engine ?
i always try to avoid horror movies but movielens has discovered that i actually rate horror movies higher than any other genre
basically i seek out pleasure ( porn, erotic, romantic movies ) and try to shelter myself from the pain ( horror ) but light viewing tends to skimp on substance so i end up rating horror flicks higher ...
I haven't, never heard of it. Will definitely try, thanks. I think you get very quickly desensitised to horror the more you watch, I now that's a cliche but it also seems to be true. But there is a satisfaction of seeing films working within the format, tropes and formulas of genre film, but for me especially enjoyable in horror. It's sort of quite rigid, so can be interesting to see how things are played with inside parameters. But horror does actually very quickly lose the shock/scare /pain factor. Maybe it's best to keep it tho and watch in small doses ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ does feel like that to me.
i actually will not consume anything that is rigidly within a genre - whether film or music. i demand that every piece must be as original as possible. Hereditary towards the end turns into a Horror cliche which ruined an otherwise brilliant movie for me. If i listen to a track and i recognize a beat pattern i immediately skip to the next one. The point is to innovate.
