My Bloody Valentine: http://www.cinemablend.com/reviews/My-Bloody-Valentine-3D-3643.html
This review talks more about how much gore can be applied into one film and with the film being made into 3D; I would say audiences liked three dimensional scenes in the film as the gore and horror is amplified.
This review really only specifies that it contain plots and twists but turns out to be like any horror film, another thing that makes this film unique is that it was released in 3D which allows me to talk about how technology affects the audience's satisfaction in making their experience more terrifying.
The Cabin In The Woods: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/filmreviews/9200366/The-Cabin-in-the-Woods-review-fiendishly-clever.html
For this review- the film is described as "fiendishly clever" the film is compared with classic horror films with endings that are so great that it must be kept secret among the people who hasn't seen the film. The review specifies the stereotypical characters in the film and due to the films composition scenes from the movie satisfies its' audiences with the slaughter of American teenagers.
I completely agree most things that are said within this review and this review certainly does reveal the films intentions and spoilers.
Scream 4: http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/scre4m-2011
In this review it speaks about the director Wes Craven and how another instalment to the series was actually quite effective. Unlike the saw series where there is quite a lot of them the story and film itself got quite repetitive, with this film the wittiness and thrill is still there in the film.
The film advances and the characters are all calm about the murders recurring as apparently there are certain rules etc...
What makes that so effective is the twists in the plot that reveals the sole intention of the film- "Who is the killer this time" and when it is revealed many jaws will drop.
I`m still not clear on your focus. You need to be searching for generic elements. What makes people behave in certain ways? Why do they go into the room and not put the light on? You need to finalise your films and gater reviews. Your focus is really what makes a horror. So some research into fear you could look at teen slashers or more recent Sinister et al. Can you make a post that does this please
