1990's Horror Movies

by Gymnopedies | created - 30 Jan 2021 | updated - 6 days ago | Public

"Let’s be honest: The 1990s were, at best, a transitional time period for the horror genre, in America as much as anywhere else. Whereas K-Horror and J-Horror just began to find a regular fanbase internationally towards the end of the 90s, thanks in part to the incomparable Ringu and Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Cure, America found a revitalized love for the slasher, prompted by the release of Wes Craven’s Scream. There were plenty of good and great horror films, mind you, but this was the era after the initial boom, when the genre was coming down off the high of its three defining franchises: Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Friday the 13th." Here is every horror film I have liked so far (7 or higher) from these years. I will obviously add to it as I see more films.
