Why do directors try to put comedy in horror movies?
Almost every modern horror movie always try to cram as much comic relief or “funny moments” into it as they can, why? I payed to see a horror movie, not a commedy. I don’t need to be comforted by a funny moment thats why we CHOSE to watch a horror movie.
Have you noticed this too? what happend to the good o’l horror/sci-fi days like predator and terminator, were there any funny moments in those movies? no, and that’s why they’re classics.
