Such hatred. We aren't exactly living ina golden age of horror, but it's been pretty good. Of course most films suck, regardless of genre, but some wonderful, original horror films are being made these days, if you are willing to look for them and grow with them.

As for the "boring" comments, sure, some films never deliver and some films are a little boring. But there are brilliant films like LET THE RIGHT ONE IN or ROMAN or GRACE or FROZEN or BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON or INSIDE or MARTYRS or (non horor but still horrific) THE ROAD in which things develop slowly, but are more beautiful for the pacing.

Seek these films out and you'll be rewarded. Rent SyFy DINOCROC shit or the recent slate of remakes (with the exception of THE CRAZIES which exceeds the original) or one of the ten thousand dumb-ass, lazy fucking Zombie flicks made each year and you'll be left wanting

If you don't like character development then I have nothing to say to you other than grow up and grow an attention span. Feature films are not youtube clips.
