Until recently the horror movies that grossed the most at the box office were the so-called &#8220;torture porn&#8221; or pure butchers, but the genre turned around since the appearance of films like &#8220;<strong>Hereditary<\/strong>&#8221; (2018), &#8220;<strong>A Quiet Place<\/strong>&#8221; (2018) or &#8220;<strong>The Babadook<\/strong>&#8221; (2014). These are films that combine family drama with psychological and paranormal horror, as well as having a more<br \/>\nstriking and carefully crafted aesthetic. They move away from the typical clich\u00e9s of the genre and try to create a suffocating and terrifying atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"HEREDITARY Tr\u00e1iler DOBLADO Espa\u00f1ol (2018)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yiPvtoNMRa4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do these movies scare us so much?<\/strong> The reason is in ourselves; they are films that deal with personified fears, much of the terror is created based on our own phobias. They may or may not scare you. It is an internal fear that cannot be pointed out directly; the enemy is completely unknown and that makes you doubt everything that appears. The distrust that is the protagonist of the whole story, along with not finding a safe space in which to rest your gaze, causes the nerves to be always on edge.<\/p>\n<p>Many of these films have a family as their protagonist. The family institution is something that has been questioned not so long ago, and this is reflected in horror films creating fears around the insecurity that can produce what we traditionally conceived as the refuge associated with a home. This is the case of &#8220;Hereditary&#8221;, which combines the fear of the paranormal with the fear of inherited madness, blurring the border between the two at times. It portrays the conflict of one&#8217;s own identity, being afraid of oneself, which is one of the most common fears of postmodern society. In this sense we also find &#8220;The Forest&#8221; (2004), in which the fear of social disorder and the dissolution of group identity is fought by creating a common enemy.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/QzUTOyCuTFQ<\/p>\n<p>So far, these are the fears that have disturbed us and that have starred in horror stories, but it is clear that a global pandemic will leave us indifferent. In fact, we have already seen a sample of the effects in &#8220;<strong>Host<\/strong>&#8221; (2020), a combination of our life of confinement with paranormal events (I can&#8217;t say which is scarier). It&#8217;s still too early to tell what the direction will be, but I have an intuition that the fateful cohabitations will play an important role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Horror movies are a clue to know which are the fears that keep us awake at night.
