Par šo tīņu filmu fenomenu ir visnotaļ smalki un ticami uzrakstīts šeit:

[cite]Juon is the exact equivalent of a teen horror movie; it's simple and designed to be enjoyed with friends. And as far as I can tell, the target audience for this game is teen girls.[/cite];
[cite]What Hollywood (and its equivalents here in Japan) understand is that generation after generation of teen movie-goers will spend their $10 to see whatever shlock the gets thrown on the screen as long as a few basic tropes are maintained. Pop-out scares, sex and gore, ominous or vaguely unhappy endings, and improbable twists are common traits[/cite];
[cite]the key observation that Hollywood has made is that their income is fairly reliable regardless of the film quality.[/cite];
[citeAnyway, one of the reasons that these films are successful is that they encourage kids to watch in groups. The fun part about horror movies when you're a teenager is seeing them with friends, even when the scares are cheap. Even really, truly bad movies can be fun when you've got somebody to wisecrack with, and a lot of folks will sit through films with friends that they wouldn't have the nerve for alone. I think it's this social aspect that makes horror films--particularly those aimed at teens--so successful.][/cite];
[cite] I think that this game is targeted squarely at young, casual gamers who enjoy horror with friend but are not about to go buy Resident Evil 5. A large segment of that group, I think, is young women, a large audience that rarely receives recognition.[/cite];
[cite]Juon is exactly the game version of a teen horror flick. Yeah, it's shallow, the scares are cheap, the story goes nowhere, and the gameplay is kind of annoying. But it was designed, I think, with a specific audience in mind, one that is a huge segment for horror films but rarely a target for horror games. [/cite].
Sōrī par citātiem, taču tā visnekļūdīgāk var ilustrēt šamējā domu, kam pievienojos.
