I think so many people were pissed that BWP fooled them into believing it was real, that they wont admit it was a Horror film.
New/diffrent Horror films have always been striking to persons familiar/intrested in the genre. Movies of the 30's spawned offshoots of the original, (Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein) these were considered unimaginable horrors to many for the time.
The 50's gave us many of the classic, campy movies we enjoy with our children today. The films of the 70's and 80's were "shock" films catering to our acceptance of more and more gore, and less implied violence. Today in times of Jerry Springer and the Ultimate Fighting Championship, it is going to take alot to satisfy moviegoers, who are intrested in gore, violence, (nudity), etc...
