made the mistake of watching vice guide to film about "new American horror", basically costal upper class hipsters trying to politicize horror, btw, horror always had a lot of rightist overtones, but that's another essay and probably the reason why they are appropriating horror,

I see the director for the film "tilt" (see quirky hipster beard open mouth look), and I'm amazed at how insular and myopic these Hollywood types are. You have a protagonist who is a gen x man, divorced, jobless, life falling apart, etc..

And instead of being another falling down, these directors cheer on the fact that weimerica is falling apart, and that if you are of a certain gender, a certain religion, etc. who find yourself at a cross roads (or dying of opioids) in the rust belt dregs..you can go F yourself.

Everything is about nazis, Trump, religious people, etc.and these terrible revenge fantasies from the same people who are within the pop culture zeitgeist (ironic). There is no subtlety to film anymore, everything must be a crass political statement, not even a metapolitical one.
