They are definitely an escapism. The issue is now they have to be even more fantastical and out-of-this-world to offset the real world shit. I love horror, but right now the real world is more horrific than any horror movie could be.
I didn’t grow up in a particularly religious household so for my brother and I, movies took on an almost, dare I say, spiritual significance. I can’t think of a single day that goes by where I don’t casually cite, quote, think about or hum something from several dozen different movies.
