Makes sense! I tend to prefer good films too. I can watch a bad horror flick now and again, but I do prefer movies that want something from me. I have a few people I used to refer to for movie recommendations on youtube. Not because I agreed with their tastes always, but because they were pretty good at finding movies I hadn't heard of and since I knew their tastes I would also know approximately what I would think about this or that film. Haven't really kept myself updated on the horror landscape in recent years because life is busy. That has bit me in the ass a few times.
Most recently, I goofed and drug my boyfriend to the cinema to watch The Monkey because I had heard that it was super scary and very creative. I must have been trolled because that film was probably the worst Stephen King movie I have seen since The Dark Tower. Holy shit. If it wasn't for the fact that we had bought tickets to see it, we would have left after the the babysitters funeral. Holy shit it was awful. It was the worst kind of horror comedy. I'm sure you know what I mean.
