Easily one of the most generic designs I've ever seen as well. They're like shittier lickers. Alien, while my favorite movie of all time, is not a horror film. It's sci-fi. Borderline action flick, like the every other movie in the franchise. The ending of Hereditary ruined the entire movie. Half of the theater laughed when I went to see it. Absolutely absurd. Pan's Labyrinth is a fantasy movie, not horror. Not even close. It's basically a fairy tale, and the antagonist is a human. Definitely the best creature designs of anything you listed but "fauns" are an idea that's centuries old, and "guy with eyes in his hands" isn't exactly original.

Pennywise is literally a clown, and Freddy Krueger is just a guy with knives on his fingers. The VVitch is definitely just a human, or definitely just a goat, depending on how you want to look at it. Either way, both witches and Black Phillip are not new ideas, nor are they "monsters". Really fucking good movie, but there aren't any monsters in it. Cabin in the Woods is a comedy horror and is closer to something like Slither, Arachnophobia, or Zombeavers than any horror movie. Great movie, but not because of the creature design. I'd like to agree with you here but I cannot think of a single horror movie that features a "monster" of some type that doesn't immediately remove all tension when it's revealed. The unknown is much, much scarier than any creature on the silver screen. Not even going to bother with Godzilla or Predator, they're action movies and aren't meant to be scary. Jaws is a shark. Attack the Block is a pure comedy. I'll give you The Thing. Even then it's a monster that relies on the unknown to create fear.

specialkid8 09/10/19 8:03:12 AM #29:	You can show the monster and not immediately ruin it but hiding it as much as possible is the best way to build and hold tension. Alien is famous for barely showing the monster (mostly because of the shitty costume) so they have it hiding behind stuff or in the shadows and you almost never see the whole thing. Most of the other good movies on that list do the same thing. Ones that show the monster a lot like A Quiet Place are not very good. It's not like a one to one ratio but you can get a good idea of the quality of a horror film by how much they show the creature. <cite>specialkid8 posted [p:927232321] in what does ...

He definitely has more of an animalistic nature. Which is part of why Id argue zombie films kind of count as well. Also, you guys cant just brush off great films like A Quiet Place (95% on RT) because you personally didnt care for them lol >.> --- Not changing this sig. <cite>EzeDoesIt posted [p:927233473] in what does ...

Also, you guys cant just brush off great films like A Quiet Place (95% on RT) because you personally didnt care for them lol >.> I'd argue that A Quiet Place's popularity hinges on it not being scary. If it was, most people wouldn't watch it. Also, the idea of a family struggle is very appealing to the masses. You've got a character for every type of person to identify with. On top of that John Krasinksi and Emily Blunt portray the characters extremely well and most of that is because it isn't acting, they really do feel that way about eachother. I love the idea of the monster, but it would be much more terrifying if you never saw them, or they were just an incredibly fast blur ~~like when the kid gets killed in the opening.~~ One of my biggest personal gripes with that movie though, is the basement scene. Sound travels better through water than it does through air. You're telling me that these things that can supposedly hear a person's heartbeat wouldn't be able to hear it, or at least her walking, through the water? C'mon. But that's neither here nor there. Take Signs as an example. Very similar, very popular, movie. When the monster is finally shown it is in a triumphant moment. It's when you're meant to realize that the monster isn't scary, and isn't a threat, that it's finally revealed. Everything leading up to that is tense as fuck. --- o7 Let strength be granted so the world might be mended. <cite>DocDelicious posted [p:927234720] in what does ...

EzeDoesIt 09/10/19 10:11:13 AM #35:	All good points, both about AQP and Signs. I thought the very ending of AQP made seeing the monsters worth it, though. Hopefully the sequel ups the ante. Ok, have you seen The Ritual (Netflix, 2017)? By all accounts its an average or slightly-above-average horror film (I still found it enjoyable though), but Id argue its far better for having shown its monster than it otherwise would have been. --- Not changing this sig. <cite>EzeDoesIt posted [p:927235417] in what does ...

Oooh, yeah that's actually a really good example. Movie definitely would not have been the same without seeing the monster. If I remember correctly it's inspired by a couple different creatures from Norse mythology, and that shit is scary enough on its own. --- o7 Let strength be granted so the world might be mended. <cite>DocDelicious posted [p:927237495] in what does ...
