Maybe thats one of the reasons why the horror movies have lost their "jump-outta-chairs" touch. Hardcore horror fans have watched so many flicks with all the variations of stories the human minds can cook, that each new movie is unconsciously compared to the ones gone by, and similarities between them dampen the enthusiasm. Add to it incompetency of the script-writers, bad directors, shoddy lighting and sound effects, and you got a suckass movie.

"That one didnt make me feel scared"
"I didnt jump off my chair"
"I have seen that sequence in another movie"
"story is much like this other one I had seen awhile back".....

common lines now for the horror movie buff who's been to the theaters for the past 25-30 years, watching movies and more movies...now in the privacy of the home with cable and CDs and DVDs available at the call...

Is there anything left in the tank? Or has it been used up so much that now its just running on fumes? Exploited over and over again to the extent that nothing except a dry,shrivelled and ugly piece remains of what once was a fresh, bright and ripe genre...
