The Skeleton In The Closet: 8 LGBTQ+ Horror Films Claiming The Genre
When you think of the horror genre, the LGBTQ+ community is probably one of the last things you think of. However, horror is much more queer-coded than you may think.
As this critic continues to look back at some of this Summer's films I have taken in, I would be remiss if I didn't mention one of the most overall unsettling trends in Hollywood over the last several years.....sequels, reboots, and remakes. Look, I am all for seeing more than one film for certain originals that made a splash, ie: "Jurassic Park", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Transformers", etc. HOWEVER, once it all gets pushed TOO far over the course of TOO MANY follow-ups, sorry, but the luster, uniqueness, and quality heads decidedly southward.

What I ended up witnessing was grander proof that, as a whole, it's best to truly let certain creatures, and film series, go and/or remain extinct. While I perfectly and admittedly embrace the love of a Summer event film that just wows with its imagery, doesn't require much thinking, and provides entertainment, seeing this newest installment very much felt like beating a dead horse....or, um, REPTILE, sorry.
