Geez, horror fans and their loyalty.

You guys missed my point completely. KI's comments on FvJ were barely derogatory. She said essentially that FvJ broke no new ground for the genre. Can any of you really say this film added anything new to the genre? Sreenwriting? Direction? Acting? Anything? She DIDN"T say "this movie is a piece of garbage, I wish it wasn't on my CV, I'll never take another horror role again, this thing is going to flop bigtime and..." etc. She said she wished they could have had the luxury to do something more than conventional and regrettted the fact that they could not. I liked FvJ, it was a fun and exciting genre film but I didn't expect (or want) another "Citizen Kane" or 'Casablanca".

I'm wondering if there's a double standard here though, if Robert Englund had made the same comments would the fans have taken him to task over it in the same way?
