i think the younger folks have a hard time with subtle black and white slow building horror films.
Most of them want high octane guns blazing thrill a minute movies.

i prefer ones that have a nice slow build up .. allowing for character developement so that you actually get to know, like, and understand the characters which allows you to identify with them, thus feeling concern that they might actually die.
this is what builds terror and suspense ..

who gives a shit if some cardboard cutout character dies (i.e. anyone in resident evil 2)

making a great horror film is a rare art.
few take the bother to because it is too much of a risk.
The demogrphic for horror films is largely the youth population who are the ones that want everything hard and fast - so they dont get bored.
If they dont support good films (they rarely do) then they wont get made. Simple economics.

and i'm not saying all youth is like this ... just most of them.
