And, as a result, falls short of being anything remotely close to interesting to the viewers. There are several things to keep in mind while making a horror movie. One is to ensure that it is made not just for the scares but also has some plot to it, which ties the movie to the scares it provides. Two is to make sure that the scares provided are well-built and follow the pace of the movie at the same time.
