Agreed. When the fuck did Hollywood decide that HORROR was to be ACCESSIBLE?!?

I don't really hold it against them that strongly since they're just like you, and me, and they need to make money.

There's basically two ways they could go about this to try, and be successful:

1. Play it safe, use cliches, and make it more accessible. This will most likely guarantee that casual movie-goers will not be turned off by more extreme themes that we like, and feel comfortable with things they KNOW they can get enjoyment out of. Safe income. This is what most people seem to be gearing towards.

2. Take a risk, and try new things as well as extreme things. This is risky because unless you become a sleeper hit which takes everyone by surprise with innovative new ideas the innovation might very well fall flat, and not even secure a core audience like they would've done with option 1.

So basically nowadays studios are too afraid to take risks, and opt for a more play it safe route.

BTW I'm completely talking out of my ass here. I have no idea how it really goes down in the movie industry XD
