There have been a ton of critically-acclaimed horror films over the last number of decades – especially the last few years. Films like Nope, Sinners and Weapons have been some of the best reviewed films in ages. More often than not, however, the horror genre has been a punching bag for a lot of critics. Whether it be low-budget Blumhouse production, sequels to some of horror's most beloved franchises or slashers that have been deemed too similar to others in its sub-genre, there’s quite a bit of negative shots thrown at horror’s way on a daily basis.
