Retirement Plans: Quintin Tarantino’s 10th to be a Mind-bending Horror flick?

I just think I’ve given all I have to give to movies

- Quintin Tarantino

Recently, the director reminded his fans about his retirement from the showbiz. The news proved to be the most heart-breaking statement offered by Quinten Tarintino which broke his fans. While, he had also mentioned “If it’s really well-received (his last film), maybe I won’t go to 10,” he said. “Maybe I’ll stop right now! Maybe I’ll stop while I’m ahead. We’ll see.”

The Pulp Fiction director received many accolades for his 9th release - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The film also garnered 6-minute standing ovation at Oscars. However, now the fans have been confused if they should pray for the film’s success or they should wait for the film’s downfall.

Tarantino has a career-defining choice to make when it comes to his final movie. While he has always been good at escalating classic genres, from western to WWII epics to basically every genre ever in Kill Bill, but he's apparently thinking about taking on a whole new genre experiment for his tenth and final film - horror. According to the Independent, Tarantino mentioned the plan last week during his Once Upon a Time in Hollywood press tour.

If I come up with a terrific horror film story, I will do that as my tenth movie. 

I love horror movies. I would love to do a horror film.

- Quintin Tarantino reportedly said

Tarantino somewhat seems to be having the traits of Stanley Kubrick who experimented his quirk on similar lines. Not to forget, his previous films contained elements of horror, and Death Proof could almost be considered a campy horror if you squint at it right, but it sounds like Tarantino is finally ready to commit to a proper horror film now - all thanks to his time shooting the Manson family ranch scene in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, apparently.

He said, "I do actually think that the Spahn Ranch sequence is the closest to a horror sequence, I do think it’s vaguely terrifying. And I didn’t quite realize how good we did it, frankly, until my editor told me. He goes, 'The Spahn Ranch sequence is a horror film… It’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre with a budget.'"

So, could the fans expect a horror film from Tarantino? Or will he continue to plan his next step towards the long-discussed project - Star Trek?
