I have been trying to write a Horror Hack of the Week about 3D for a week now, but I just can’t get it right. In short I’m already tired of the 3D trend. What is the point of selling a movie based on a gimmick, if most of us can’t see the gimmick or have to jump through hoops to see it? Not to mention I keep reading that My Bloody Valentine 3D gives some people who watch it on DVD headaches. 3D, while sometimes fun, has never really been satisfying, and I just wish studios went back to trying to find and deliver good horror movies, instead of remakes and cheap gimmicks. What is next large joy buzzers under our seats or life insurance policies handed out with out tickets?

2009 has been a bad year for horror with almost everything being a remake, and I really hope that 2011 isn’t full of nothing but 3D remakes.

So 3D you are officially a Horror Hack and should be retired!
