Macbeth could be the new "IT"...

I'm just going to say it; Macbeth would scare me in a theater. There's just this... Vibe. There have actually been a few movies based on Macbeth already made, but I don't think any of them were done with an actual horror theme in mind. I feel like it could really work if it was adapted into a horror theme, though! In good 'ol Mr. Bryson's class, for example, we began watching a movie based around Macbeth, and it was set in a modern war scenario. That's cool and all, but the real thing I'm focusing on is the witches in this movie. Though the movie isn't as high-budget as the new horror movies being created today, these witches are straight up TERRIFYING. I don't know what it is about them. Maybe it's the crazy jump cuts and grungy atmosphere, or maybe it's just the lines ripped straight from the play - Shakespeare puts his words very eloquently, and they translate very well into live action. They may seem a little confusing on paper, but when a witch is rasping them as she tears the still-beating heart out of a dying corpse, they hold a certain kind of weight to them that would do fantastic in a horror movie. I mean, come on, people! It's a tragic play, and it's full of murder, deception, and generally creepy characters. It has a plot to it that would go fantastically with the feelings of wariness and tension, it has the supernatural beings it needs to captivate the audience, and so much more... We just need a modern horror movie Macbeth. We neeeeeed it.
