    Plus, horror is one of the more popular ones to make with a tiny budget. Lots of the famous slashers like Friday the 13th, Halloween, etc. are fun to watch (especially with a group), but absolutely deserve their low/mid ratings, lol

      Horror also has the sequel problem where the first movie is solid but the shitty sequels drag the ratings down.

        I love em too, but I binge-watched many of them with some friends a couple of years ago, and most are true B-movies. I understand why some people don’t appreciate them.

        Halloween 3 comes to mind. No Michael Myers, just some randos in a company town run by

        Irish robots powered by Stonehenge. It’s a fever dream.

        I’ve always found horror boring, though sometimes funny.

        The story is usually painfully transparent.

        I was the only person in the theatre laughing during the first Nightmare movie, it was so dumb.

        And I was a teen at the time.

          I don’t like Arianna Grande, so when her merits are discussed I don’t join the discussion, because my opinion on something that I don’t care about doesn’t matter.
