Mainstream Film Reviewers Don't Get Genre Pictures

I'm always disappointed in daily newspaper coverage of genre films. They all seem to focus on the traditional film formulae: strong, sympathetic characters, complex or heart-felt drama, and star appeal. But that's where sci-fi/horror/fantasy genre pictures differ. It's all about concept and the execution of bizarre ideas. So I thought it best years ago to avoid daily film reviewers, especially for example, when Session 9 was virtually ignored. Whereas mainstream film focuses on character and drama, hor/sci/fantasy films champion melodrama and servicable characters that propel plot, the thrills the make us all dedicated, white-knuckle fans!
