Horror Research: The 2000's

The noughties wasn't really up to much in terms of horror films. Not many original horror films were made but there were many remakes were made such as Friday the 13th, Halloween and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

As well as seeing old films being re-made, we also saw characters from seperate movies going against one another in new films. Two prime examples of this are Freddy vs Jason (2003) and Alien vs Predator (2004).



Although there wearn't many good horror films in the noughties, one film started off mass horror story, filled with blood, guts and psychopathic killers; Saw! The saw films really brought something new to the horror game; instead of the killer chaising their victim(s), in saw the victims of Jigsaw (The crazed psycho killer) have to play his "games" in order to try and survive, whether it be harming themselves or another victim who has also been captured. When Saw was realised it really got people thinking "how far would you go to survive?".
