Why are we so frightened today by something completely different from what frightened us 50 years ago? Horror cinema has always been the perfect barometer of each society's fears: from classic monsters and the nuclear paranoia of Godzilla, through the Satanism and crisis of faith of the 70s, the teen slasher films of the 80s, found footage and the fear of technology, to post-9/11 torture porn. In this video, we explore that evolution to understand where each wave of horror comes from and what it told us about the world in which it was made.
But horror hasn't stopped there. The fall of taboos surrounding mental health and the critical reevaluation of the genre have given rise to "elevated horror": films like Hereditary, The Substance, Smile, and Obsession that no longer hide fear behind a monster, but speak directly to trauma, grief, addiction, and social pressure. We analyze what has changed in cinematic language, why critics are finally starting to take the genre seriously, and what the horror of 2025 tells us about ourselves.

Gran análisis, me encantó el vídeo 👍🏻
Respecto a qué época es mejor, creo que cada tiempo tiene lo suyo. Aunque personalmente me pase como con la música (donde disfruto más de los 90 que de lo actual), los monstruos clásicos como Drácula, Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll o las criaturas de La isla del doctor Moreau tenían un aura épica y enigmática única, difícil de equiparar con las amenazas sin rostro del cine contemporáneo. Gran contenido, ¡saludos!
Por cierto, me gustan mucho tus análisis.
No hay nada más terrorífico que la propia vida.
Es la última peli que vi y MADRE MÍA
Siento que juega con el factor nostalgia pero también con el de dudar de tu entorno y descubrir que todo en lo que confías y crees en verdad no existe
