I don't think that writers of horror movies bother with the character development that much a lot of the time. It may be because they don't see the point since they are killing them off in 2 pages anyway. Or perhaps that they know even if they do create totally original and convincing characters people will mainly remember the Gore so they just decide whats the point..
I'm not sure what the reason is.. but it is rare to get the best of both.... writing and Gore.. Lucky I like cheesy movies.
