🤍 The Classic Status / Enjoyment Modifier
When I watch horror films, I generally gravitate towards the fantastical: aliens, monsters, zombies, the paranormal etc (The Paranormal Etc is the name of my new improv comedy ensemble ). Whilst many of these films reflect society, they’re mostly just escapist fun and rarely do I find any of them particularly scary. What truly scares me is the subject of THREADS.

This is a horror film that feels like it’s made by horror fans, as opposed to horror literate film-makers. As such, Lost After Dark is basically just 80s slasher fan-fiction; all the nods and references to horror movies of the past just feels a little “hey, you guys, we know horror stuff too”.
