Scare you, scare me, scare us together. That's the way it should be.

 

"Some kind of quote about the gist of a theme I want to discuss. Something interesting and cool."

The following discusses plot points from the film, "Scare Me." Don't read further unless you plan to see it and want to be spoiled like so many dinners after trick-or-treating. 

Horror films are known for pushing boundaries and challenging views. And, yeah, for scaring us. As has been said, good horror movies are about something more than what they're about.

Oftentimes, they allow us to express what truly frightens us without all the baggage of being upfront and honest about those fears.

In recent years, some horror films have tried to express progressive views through the storyline, with varying success. 2019's second remake of "Black Christmas," for example, was a bit too on-the-nose, too surface and too unearned. It felt more like an agenda wrapped in a horror film preset. Blumhouse's "Scare Me," however, is an example of how to convey progressive values in an organic way.
