Naturally! Notable nudity notwithstanding, neutral narratives normally necessitate nixing naivety.

Horror is like the genre where anyone with a video camera fresh out of highschool can produce and somehow get in a bargain bin at any store. The genre has some good stuff, but it's way too flooded with garbage that it's hard to find the good stuff. Some people like the campiness of it, but I just don't have the time to waste on it. In highschool I remember we rented a horror movie because the first name on it was Ron Jeremy and we were like "heh, heh, awesome"! He was in the first 1 minute as a bum, no lines, and died, the rest of the movie was beyond horrible. Those kinds of tactics don't help the genre either.
Yeah, lots of other genres have tons of garbage too, but somehow it doesn't seem like it does to the same extent (just how I've seen things). Maybe it's because Horror has the potential to be awesome, ridiculous or cool, even if it's a shit tier movie, where as a drama just doesn't have the allure without critical acclaim, big names, or notable nudity. There are way more cult followings around horror movies than dramas or others it seems.
I can understand that nobody likes someone else coming into their "scene" and scooping out the best stuff, giving it a respectable note/name, and calling the rest of the baggage, history, and culty stuff garbage.
