'Horizon--Chapter 1' has had a lukewarm reception at the box office.

Kevin Costner Gets Horrible News on 'Horizon' Part 2 Release

The Blumhouse method fits Netflix very well. The streamer needs countless hours of content, and the studio is happy to provide it. Jason Blum and his hired hands throw everything against the wall to see what sticks. It results in a few good films, but the lion’s share of Blumhouse’s output is boring. Garbage like Truth or Dare just washes off of Jason Blum’s back, but it’s worth paying attention to the project. People around the world evidently agree, because Truth or Dare is currently the tenth most-watched movie on Netflix.

Sci-fi, perhaps more than any other genre, lends itself to producing cult classics. After all, by definition, the genre deals with speculative and futuristic ideas, meaning that they're always literally ahead of their time. Sometimes, science fiction films wind up being too forward-thinking for contemporary audiences, being dismissed on release only to be hailed as masterpieces decades later.

The most fascinating horror film ever made that is scary is “Psycho”; that’s because it’s the ultimate film to watch yourself watching. And let’s be clear: I realize that “The Shining” is widely considered to be a terrifying movie. But I saw it the night it opened — on May 23, 1980 — and have seen it a dozen times since, and while the film’s mood and mysteries have deepened for...

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.
