What do you expect, their not marketing them to the horror fans. Their being marketed to the 13-20 A.D.D. generation. I might fall under the category because im "young" (20yrs)But im not, Ive been a horror fan since 6 yrs old. I grew up and cut my teeth on the movies we all talk about here. Real movies with real atmosphere. Now-a-days horror is just a cash cow to market to young kids/teens Alot of whom arent horror fans. Nothing but jump scares and pointless gore.I love gore, but at the same time i like a story, something that isnt just jump scares and gross out. I remember watching movies when I was younger where ther's a great/creepy killer etc But the atmosphere was way more effective. just the way the set was painted/lit. Look at john Carpenters Halloween People said that was a terrifying film. There was barely any blood in that movie. Incredible atmosphere, they managed to create that with blue lighting and john carpenters score. - Aaron
