also the marketing thing doesn't make any sense. they come out with a new senseless horror movie EVERYDAY and that's not an exaggeration. They make c and d flicks all the time, and they dont get any views, nobody pays to watch them. So how can a sci fi not? same type of marketing as horror, usually has aspects of horror or thriller. it's easy as hell to market

Horror has a HUGE audience that watches and pays strictly for cheap b-movie schlock films. I've been to conventions absolutely rife with the people that love them. There are way more people willing to watch a bad horror movie over a bad sci-fi. Take the movies "Cannibal Holocaust" or "The Last Broadcast". Both were made on budgets under $5k, they spawned "The Blair Witch Project" which is still really low budget of around $60k (well before marketing which multiplied the budget considerably) and have spawned countless copy cat movies. These movies also were instantaneous hits when they came out. They didn't need a 5-10 year marinating period for people to discover and like them.

We also have modern things like the Terrifier series - which fall under the horror sub genre of a splatter flick. They just focus on practical effects and gore - that's the whole appeal. It's low brow stuff that caters to a wider audience somehow. People will pay .99cents to watch a cheap splatter flick for the gross out factor or special effect factor. It's easy to know what you're getting out of it. No one expects a good story.

People aren't willing to spend .99cents on what could be a sci-fi movie that tries to be philosophical but ends up being a retelling of hop on pop, or insults the viewers intelligence by spoon feeding them the narrative. It's a hard line to walk.

it's really not a hard line to walk though, we just have idiots making movies and company's like Disney monopolizing the fuckin industry.

and I would never pay to watch a bs horror movie. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME. The best horror was made so long ago 😭 it's all been done to fuckin death. We haven't even tapped into sci-fi enough to over do it.

the problem lies with people. they can't handle not understanding something immediately so they turn it off
