my tastes in horror movies, like any other type movies, vary. My only requirements are that the movie is either a) Well made, or b) entertaining. I've got no problem with a mindless gore-fest movie, even if it's shitty, as long as it's entertaining. The Beyond is an incoherent mess of a movie. I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it as I do if it wasn't made to seem all deep and artistic. I still wouldn't like it on the grounds that it's shitty and boring, but I wouldn't feel as strongly in my dislike. Though I'm still not going to insult people on the basis that their opinion of the movie differs from mine, as I've run into over this movie before.
BTW, I almost agree with you on Dark Water. It wasn't particularly inovative and difficult to watch, but it was well made within the confines of what it was (the acting and direction were good). As for the American re-make, I've actually heard from both American critics and "American remakes suck, go Japanese movies!!" types that the movie was really good.
