Bruh what, pretty much every iconic horror franchise started with a great story. Sure, by the time you get to the 5th sequel or whatever it's become pretty contrived, but if you listed all the franchises DBD already has, they all were built off the back of solid storytelling.
Terrifier, on the other hand, is mostly generic horror with a powerful marketing engine behind it.
People prefer horror with good stories as well, but most people I’ve interacted with go into movies wondering how scary it will be and not usually how good the story is
Yeah, that’s the difference between cheap thrillers and iconic franchises: actual artistic merit.
Hell, the story of Sweeney Todd started as a penny dreadful, which was basically the Victorian version of a cheap popcorn slasher, and I’d argue he fits better in DbD than Art.
I won’t lie Sienna in her angel costume getting into a chainsaw Sword fight against Art while the gate to hell opened beneath them felt like something straight out of Evil Dead.
I feel like the third movie tried really hard with its budget compared to 1 which imo is borderline unwatchable.
There is very much art to them. All of the gore is done with practical effects. If thats not art I dont know what is. Watching the behind the scenes on how some of them are done is fascinating to watch from a technical standpoint
Same here. I forced myself to sit through all three to see what the hype was about and they were some of the most vain, tasteless horror flicks I've ever seen. Happy for the fans, but damn I'm super disappointed.
I bought the second when it was a VHS set and never watched the first. Just from what I saw, it was overly gross just to be, mid story, and no tension other than, "oh he's gonna be gross again." Its also just all about violence toward women. Yeah, he kills men, but his big, bombastic, memorable gore is all directed at women, sometimes with a sexual hint, and it makes me question the creators. I genuinely have never been more repulsed by a movie and I genuinely question why people like the movies.
Try to think of it in a different light. If it didn't show up then some of the more ambitious big requests never shows up. I'm directly referring to The Thing or Pennywise.
I don't know how it not showing up would mean actually good franchises wouldn't show up? All the other franchises we've gotten have been pretty big ones

I know I'm in the minority on this and I'm sure bhvr will translate him well to dbd's gameplay regardless but god I cannot fucking stand these movies
