i have to disagree that most directors have love for the genre.
Rob Zombie for sure ... he has huge love for it ..
but most of the others ... a lot of them that made their name with horror are tired of it .. but are pigionholed.
the straight to video guys .. many of them are made to direct these crap horrors to cut their teeth on.
no loss to the company if the films bomb ... the video market picks them up.
The Grudge/The Ring/Dark Water .... that is the wave that suprised me ... that hollywood picked up on that j-horror wagon .. but i guess they were making big bucks in asia and $$$ draws the movie people like flys to shit.
they smell money, then milk the new trend - wring every last penny out of it and leave it dying on the floor .. spent and mutilated.
