It is wild to me that a series this low budget, ghoulish, and mean spirited has almost become main stream now. I remember seeing the second one at the drive in and there were families there with kids running around like it was no big deal while some girl was getting skinned alive and disemboweled on the screen.

Can someone who likes this series explain the draw to me? I'm a pretty avid horror fan but turned this off after 30 minutes because I just didn't get it. Slasher, sure, but seemed way too simplistic with no real plot and overly exaggerated shitty kill scenes. Not that I sign up for every horror movie for immersive plot or something, it just seemed entirely nonexistent.

If you find out let me know cus I don't get it either. The only thing I can think of is there is a recognizable "mascot" akin to a Freddy/Jason/Jigsaw albeit without the personality.
