the future of horror is suffering the same fate as all other film genres.
Lack of origionality - and passion that has been replaced by bankability.
no one can afford to take risks and make films for the minority ..
at least - no one with a decent budget.
occasionaly we'll get a smart film where someone was brilliant enough to make a great film on a small budget (therefore not much risk) but these are few and far between.
The filmmaking business is like any other .. they make a product with the expectation of turning a profit.
If you have done market surveys to determine what is profitable and they come back saying its Item A ... then they are going to keep manufacturing Item A.
What made Item A profitable ?? the people who paid to see it, and didnt pay to see Item C.
So be thankful when something comes out in a blue moon that is worth seeing .... we take what we can get.
