For someone that isn't a fan, a horror film is just another movie. Something that can entertain them for an hour and a half or so and they can turn their brain off and forget about it 5 minutes after it's over.

For me, as a horror fan, a big part of the way I enjoy horror movies is turning my brain on and asking "Why?" and, hopefully, remembering the film for a long time afterwards.
Why is this film good or bad?
Why is it scary or not?
Why is this movie popular or unpopular with horror fans or the general public?
And so on and so forth. I like to analyze why I like things or dislike them.
