Some films call for a decent story, some are terrible because they use gore to try and frighten the audience. These ones work because they use it to entertain the viewer.
I think the issue is that people just don't get it. Like a bunch of teenagers walked out of it in disgust as I was laughing at the delightfully gory scenes... They just had no context. I don't think that you necessarily need to have seen the original film; just understand the genre that it is paying homage to.
