>>44554601I'm not going to claim I understand the mindset of Vox and people like him. But I think that with most mass market scary movies nowadays, you're going in knowing what to expect. There's not going to be another Cannibal Holocaust moment where you're going into a film and wondering whether what the fuck you saw was real or not, or even then in movies like it and Apocalypse Now, realizing after the fact that there was real animal death. Or in Come and See, where instead of special effects you realize they use actual live ammo and the actors had to work around it. Movies nowadays look too "clean" that it highlights the artificiality of the experience to an extent.
Whereas with Youtube analog horror, there's still that feeling of going in and not quite being sure what to expect. All with the added benefit of talking to a community trying to process how it all plays into a bigger picture. It could also be that Analog Horror just scares him if he grew up in the UK and had to watch films like "Protect and Survive" at one point in school, like as an example of how unhelpful government instructions can really be in the event of Nuclear Warfare.
