i agree - unfortunately - horror fans themselves are their own worst enemy.
they'd look at a film like that and figure it wasnt bad-ass enough - not hard core enough for them and they'd dismiss it.
and people who dont like horror or genre films wouldnt get it.
(sort of like Grindhouse - it falls between the cracks of two unappreciative groups.)
and you're right - i believe a lot of 1st time directors are handed a project - that they cant break - it's a throw-away so who cares.
you really see the difference when a director has a lot of love for the genre. even if they dont have the big budget - the love and entheusiasm shines through
