They all fit into the "cool to hate" category just like complaining about remakes. People just like to bring it up to get some cred when talking to horror fans.
They were both hyped as the saviours of modern horror a few years back too which fucked a lot of people off when they were disappointed in the films.
Zombie copped a lot of shit for doing the crossover from musician to director. People just seemed to think he had no business doing that.
I've noticed a lot of similar backlash in regards to Tarantino aswell.
But yeh there's no real middle ground is there?
