Maybe either those are dramas. But action films and comedies are the less popular ones it seems. Perhaps the indie audiences are more into horror and drama, and that's why?
As a horror fan, we are often more forgiving of rubbery monsters, bad acting and contrived plots. As long as there is something interesting about a horror film, I'll watch it.
Agree with this 100%. I'll forgive almost anything. I've sat through some movies where, not until the very end, have I thought to myself "did I really just watch that all the way through?". Quite often I'll watch that same movie again. It's strange. I'm almost certain I wouldn't do this for a poor action movie. Definately not for comedy.
Here in the UK we have a TV channel dedicated to horror. It's called, wait for it..... The Horror Channel. I've spoken to so many people who think the programming is nothing short of crap. I love it. People don't believe me when I tell them that, but honestly, I do!
That explains why everyone's doing. Do I have to really though?
I guess. I just don't see the audience appeal in a lot of them. There are some really good ones, only that 5-10% I mentioned, compared to other genres it seems. But that's because people are more accepting of the B movie in this genre.
I just don't see the audience appeal in a lot of them...
Then you can't hope to meet that appeal that the members of that audience, like me, do see in horror.
