Half of them are really good though, such as Let the Right One In, The Silence of the Lambs (some categories it as a thriller, but it definitely has scary sequences), and The Shining. I think we watch different Youtubers. Anyway, I appreciated the nudity when I was a teen. :D I haven't read any novelizations and such. Just saw this for the first time in many years. The way it's presented in the film, the tape is important for world peace, and isn't easy to replace. It almost seems more important than the president. That does make Snake less of a likable anti-hero when he destroys it because he has a beef with the president. I understand that the president wasn't sorry enough for the lives that were lost rescuing him, but how many lives would be lost if there was a nuclear war between the three great powers of the world (in that version of the near future)? I don't think it was ever made clear or even heavily implied that Snack had been lied to about the tape. That would have made a big difference. I like it. The first part when they're kids is slightly better than the new one, in a large part because the horror scenes aren't so exaggerated. I think the upcoming [i]It: chapter two[/i] might be better than the old part two though. In the old one they really tried for a grand finale, but it became a bit ridiculous. They probably didn't have the means for it in a made-for-tv production at that time. They should have opted for something smaller/more atmospheric instead. There was no need for a giant spider. I think times have changed. When I started watching horror movies in the middle/end of the '90s there were still lasting effects of the video nasty era, which was very much a thing in my country Sweden as well as Great Britain. But I remember some critics enjoying Scream. I also remember celebrated horror films, such as [i]The Exorcist[/i] being referred to as thrillers. A long time has passed since then. People have watched horror films without becoming Jason Voorhees-copycats.
