When I was a teenager, I thought horror movies where nobody survived were edgy and “realistic”, because all the media I had experienced up till then had (sometimes improbable) happy endings. I’m still very into horror but I no longer enjoy movies where the hero dies despite fighting their hardest. I think maybe as an adult I realize they’re TOO much like reality, which has no guaranteed outcomes.

Same. It’s weird. The older I get, the more I need a bit of happy. Fuck the bleak stuff.
It all balances out. Our current reality is unavoidable, so the screen can take me somewhere positive.
