i dont believe this defines the genre at all ... there's already a huge backlash from horror fans who dont get that they arent the target demographic for this and only saw it because of the popularity.
if nothing else maybe it'll draw more non horror fans in a bit ..get them to check into the genre a little further.
anyway whenever things get soft - someone always comes along to make things 'hard' again ...
like the sex postols did to revolt against disco ..etc..
there have always been a huge market for vampire love stories (let alone soap operas - no one remembers dark shadows ?) in literature and in film .. this is just the first time it became Beatles famous - so now everyone has an opinion...
hardly a concern.

Thanks for saving me the trouble of making almost this exact post. Agree 100% with urgeok2..
Horror films are more bankable than they hav been in a long time - stuff like 'Twilight' is just trying to get the teeny girl market.
