I still watch a lot of horror movies and series (especially during Spooktober) in pursuit of those few exceptions. It’s sufficient for me to have a more or less dark atmosphere and a macabre story. But I don’t engulf myself in illusions: most of them are just really really bad in my opinion. It’s like deliberately watching trash, which can be fun if you approach it with that mindset.
Assuming every horror movie will be bad because it’s horror sounds like a great way to never find a good horror movie.

Watching a lot of movies doesn’t help if you go in assuming it’ll be terrible.
It’s rather having very low expectations.
It’s not an assumption. Most horror films are just shit
