Horror movies are so timeless and versatile because they can take place across a variety of settings and periods. It's not as limited as, say, science-fiction movies, which are commonly associated with the future, or fantasy movies, many of which take place in entirely different worlds. The only basic requirement for horror movies is that they be intentionally scary, or at least try to be, which means filmmakers can utilize pretty much any setting they want.

In a genre where it's arguably easier to earn a bad review, horror movies face a different level of criticism, especially from respected critic Roger Ebert. A fan of the genre, Ebert appreciated good horror movies, saying, "They can exorcise our demons." However, Ebert was a vocal opponent of horror movies that inflicted violence and gore without reason, often writing about the reactions of fellow audience members and what it said about their relationship to the acts carried out onscreen. In his lengthy list "Ebert's Most Hated," many of those films include horror movies that earned higher than a one-star rating.

The 13 Worst Horror Movies of All Time, According to Roger Ebert

A brand-new version of Freddy Krueger has emerged from the dream world. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) is a bona fide classic. Though it enjoyed numerous follow-ups — five sequels, a spinoff, a crossover movie, a reboot of the 1984 film, and even a television series — none of those films hold a candle to Wes Craven’s landmark horror (except for 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, which is awesome).
