Not only did it look like generic horror, it looked like bad generic horror, and I fear people will give it a pass simply because it's X-Men related. While it apparently is made by people who grew up with the 'New Mutants' comic, I've heard from others that the trailer doesn't feel like the comic at all. I almost have a feeling that Fox are learning the wrong lessons based on the success of 'Logan' being R-rated and such. I think they're chasing trends, but not mimicking the success Deadpool and Logan had with their R-rating. You know what genre is having a bit of a resurgence right now? Low-budget horror. IT, Get Out and Split are three of the most profitable movies of the year, and their combined budgets total only ~$50 million. I'm sure a similar calculation is behind Blumhouse's decision to partner with Todd McFarlane for a Spawn movie.
