Filmmaker Steven Spielberg has expressed his wish to direct a horror film in the future. The legendary 79-year-old filmmaker has provided big screen scares thanks to his movies such as 1975 shark blockbuster Jaws, 1993 resurrected dinosaur romp Jurassic Park and 1977 sci-fi flick Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
However, the director has revealed he would like to make a pure horror movie as it’s a genre he has never fully explored.
He sometimes doubts whether he could come up with a story and vision that would truly terrify when he watches a horror movie that leaves him completely satisfied as a viewer.
The director has singled out Zach Cregger’s Weapons as one of the best horror films of the past decade.
Steven Spielberg did co-write and produce 1982 supernatural horror film Poltergeist but handed over directing duties to Tobe Hooper who gave the world the iconic 1974 movie The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
