Deep diving today into the era of horror deeply influence by Nu-Metal music, a subgenre that defined much of horror cinema in the 2000s!!

Also, I'm deeply sorry for the long wait y'all, I've been so busy with school and life these past couple of months, but I graduated from college about two weeks ago, and now I'm (hopefully) gonna be more free to focus on the videos I'm currently working on!!

2000’s is dark, gritty, wet, sleek, stylized, blue, green, cold… lost of shaky cam, rapid-cuts, and the best childhood :)

Horror and Metal go hand-in-hand imo

Nu horror is such a great term for that movie era.

Horror went very 'meta' in the 90s, specifically with films like Scream and Wes Craven's New Nightmare, but it seemed to me that the 00s ushered in a rejection of the supernatural in favour of the horror that humans inflict upon one another. Body horror came back in a big way, and I think a culture that knew too much about the things people do to each other was too clued up for ghosts and monsters, hence the Saw films, Hostel, and the 'torture porn' sub-genre, which would then give way to supernatural horror again in the late 00s and early 2010s.

This is why I will rep the 2000s until the day I die. My childhood was filled with so much Style & Attitude. WWE, Nu Metal, Horror Movies, Post Hardcore, Pop Punk, Jackass, Viva La Bam, Playstation, Xbox, Resident Evil, Halo, Gears of War & The Tony Hawk Games were all in their Freakin Prime Man. 🔥🔥

nothing is more 2000s than rock music on horror movie soundtracks or movies in general. I miss that 😫

2000s horror movies have the right amount of everything. the gore the script, the acting, the outfits, scenes, and even casting is perfect. we need movies like this again

There was just something so special about 2000s horror.They all had a vibe, visuals and scenes that stick with you. I still think about the bodies down the shoot from Jeepers Creepers over 20 years later. I firmly believe 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake is one of the best films ever made.

2000's cinema really fell in love with the Matrix's green tinting. Also, brown, blue and sepia tinting.

@VinsaceTamogatchi 4 months ago

A lot of New Line Cinema films had that Nu Horror vibe and Lions Gate
