Horror not appreciated by general public.

[neverending]

Horror in general is not appreciated by the general public. I work for a market research firm that studies movie trailers. Most people are into comedy and action movies- they just want to turn off their brains for a few hours and have a good laugh or watch stuff blow up. Movie studios give the audience what they want.

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.

Like urgeok said FUCK THE GENERAL PUBLIC. They can't appreciate old movies but like some of the shittiest new horror movies(because it looks new and clean).Same thing with music.. I really don't understand why people like the shit they do. I loved the movies named off.

TOXIC AVENGER!! I was at my bro's house this past week and his boyfriend is a big horror(films in general but mainly horror)buff and he had Toxic avenger and I remember seeing this when I was younger(but I don't remember too much) He said He loved the series and I totally wanted to see it, I know for sure I'll love it.

I remember the scene with the bad guys and the poor kid on the bike and I never thought that was what the movie held but It looks great really fun wanna check it out. I always had a love for the Toxic avenger and the story(sounds dumb since I haven't seen it) just never really got to see the whole thing.
