I agree with you, but I think it could have been added as an 'also'
I realize that there aren't really a huge amount of movies specifically about demon possession (as I was trying to think of as many as I could just now), but as for horror in general, I think that much of what this generation has been exposed to is far more intense or 'shocking' than anything the previous generations have seen...Which would give this generation more of a 'been there, done that, not too impressed' vibe.
Know what I mean?
