Have horror films always been like this?
I just watched ‘The Unborn’ in the hope it might be a bit different, but it strikes me every horror film post The Ring (US version) has pretty much adhered to the same set-up, i.e. girl (normally very attractive) gets spooked by something nasty, runs around it a gloomy atmosphere, her boyfriend and well-meaning female friend both get killed by the spook and then she defeats the nasty in the climax (often saving a confused and innocent child in the process).
I really enjoyed the US versions of The Ring and The Grudge, but I’m getting a bit fed up of exactly the same script shot with a different lead actress.
Can anyone recommend any decent (and preferably recent) horror films that dare to break form?
