Every few years, horror experiences a shift or new trend that the genre tends to latch onto. In the 2000s, we had the “torture porn” era, with films like Hostel and Saw, while the rise of A24 in the 2010s brought about the term “elevated horror,” which really didn’t mean anything other than the fact that these horror films were extremely well-made. Right now, it seems as though we’re experiencing a rise in horror becoming a respected, awards-worthy genre, with films like Sinners and Weaponswinning big at the Oscars just a few days ago.
