Horror Movie Equations.

I could not decide where to put this so i said screw it and its getting its own thread.

Like many of you i absolutely love Red Letter Media and their reviews and movies. Their reviews are typically spot on and their movies are fun low budget crapfests you can enjoy with your partner or friends.

In their recent episode they review the movies Shut In and Arrival. As part of their Shut In review, they explain how predictable horror movies are now and the equation used to make horror movies now. IMO, they freaking NAILED IT. I will embed the episode but i will also leave times so those who do not want to watch the whole, wont have to . No matter what though, i highly recommend watching at least their commentary on titles and the equation they came up with.

Beginning of Rant = 16:48 | https://youtu.be/da3aIQOhOFY?t=16m46s

Titles = 17:24 | https://youtu.be/da3aIQOhOFY?t=17m24s

Homemade Trailer/Start of Equation = 19:55 | https://youtu.be/da3aIQOhOFY?t=19m55s

Whether you like these guys or not, you have to admit they really nail it. The equation they described, is like.... four of five horror movies in theaters today.
All this said, i cant fucking wait to see Arrival.
