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.

Before there were sci-fi film franchises, there was Planet of the Apes. In 1973, four years before Star Wars conquered theaters and six years before Aliens and Star Trek, there were already five installments in the Apes saga. Granted, it took five more decades to make five more movies, but the tenth Apes film — Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes — hit theaters earlier this year and recaptured the magic of the franchise’s best parts.

Plenty of horror movies tend to be hit-or-miss for many viewers. Many rely on jump scares, which were popular in some films such as The Blair Witch Project (1999) and the Paranormal Activity franchise. However, many classic films had to rely on a good, old-fashioned atmosphere via costumes, lighting, coloring, and plain suspense. Many old franchises were popular using these techniques, including (but not limited to) Halloween, Friday the 13th, and The Conjuring.

I occasionally catch myself glancing at my Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 review unit with a strange kind of envy. I use it every day. I like looking at its bold lines and perfect color palette, but I do not feel a sense of attachment. It’s such a striking phone, and its flat, uniform body makes it easy to handle. It’s a shame it’s so limited; I couldn’t imagine it becoming my daily device.
