Remember the 70s? Horror Does!
We just heard something super cool from Jason Blum and James Wan, the big brains behind Blumhouse and Atomic Monster. They’re talking about how horror movies today are giving off a serious 70s vibe. Think gritty, raw, and full of fresh ideas. It’s like a whole new era is dawning, and it feels pretty exciting!
You know how sometimes things feel a bit gloomy in the entertainment world? Well, these guys are seeing sunshine. Their latest movies, ‘Obsession’ and ‘Backrooms,’ are totally killing it at the box office right now. It’s proof that good, scary stories are still what people want.
What’s really inspiring is how they’re talking about young filmmakers. These new talents are coming up from places like YouTube, bringing that same hunger and ambition that made movies great back in the day. It’s a really refreshing aesthetic, with a focus on strong concepts and a genuine love for the craft.
The Disney of Horror?
And get this – their ambition is HUGE. They want to make Blumhouse-Atomic Monster the “Disney of Horror.” Imagine that! A place that churns out hit after hit, creating a whole universe of spooky stories that everyone loves. It’s a bold vision, for sure.
They’re not just talking the talk. They’re already building something massive. It makes us think about how other studios have built empires on beloved characters and worlds. Could horror be next? We’re definitely keeping our eyes peeled.
Our Take
Honestly, this is the kind of energy we love to see! It’s awesome that these industry giants are championing new talent and have such a clear vision.
