Something in horror I miss is that atmosphere we used to have in older films, that creepy atmosphere that psychologically messes with you while watching. Seems like a lost art, HAMMER FILMS were notorious for that feel but this film did capture a little of that old feeling for me. Hope more directors in horror do more to regain that lost art in horror

Same to me, exactly the same!
When you're watching the shower sequence in Hitchcock's "Psycho" you don't see for once the knife piercing her body; it's the way directing a scene, the different angles, the horrible music - like tearing strings, making your imagination burst and your heart freeze... - one of the best scenes ever kept on celluloid! Hitch was the "Grandmaster of suspense!"
Could not agree with you more. Seems that is a huge lost art. I see it in pieces in horror but rarely a full film with it. Gore doesn't bother me, as a genre it makes sense to have gory films but the last decade that seems to be the trend, who can gross out the most. Horror needs those atmospheric films, hoping they come back
