Horror fans (and we research samplings of horror fans as well) are just like general moviegoers- they just want to turn off their brains for a few hours and watch people get killed. So studios give them the cookie cutter brain dead horror movies they want.

I honestly don't know how any good movies of any kind get made these days.
Government cuts in education= braindead audiences(and film makers). Simple math.

As far as Blair Witch, I don't hate it as a movie, but I do hate it because of the ties it has to the city of Sarasota Florida. I think the guys who made it are from there. I used to live their and didn't like the experience.
