Because they take film critics to heart rather than the viewing public, and a great number of critics want to know why.
I try very hard to only explain things that need explaining in the stories i write. Maybe i'll get to make movies someday....
I agree with you 100% on this... Part of the beauty of Alien and Predator were that you dont know where they are from or what they want, they are just there and people die.
Oddly enough, Scream said it best when Skeet Ulrich mentions that its scarier when you dont know why.
Fear of the Unknown, the oldest and most powerful fear there is.
Something else i hate: When atmosphere and story take the back seat to gore. Gore isnt scary, its gross. Its only acceptable when it's obvious that scary wasnt the goal, IE, Dead alive(aka Braindead)
