There have been a lot of good points raised here. I can agree that there is too much CGI in horror films today. I might have been more invested in Strangers, for example, if the flea market version of Slenderman didn't look like something out of a video game.
My main issue is with cheap, lazy sequels. I had really high hopes for the newest Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and when I saw the film it was obvious that the director did not care about the material. Then you've got sequels where they'll try to make it darker, or funnier, or add some supernatural twist to the story where it doesn't belong. Rest Stop 2 is a perfect example of the latter, where they make a sequel to this realistic and disturbing horror film, only this time it's about ghosts.
