They stick with the same tired old formula.It works, and in a predatory way, which is the saddest part. Movie studios will wring every last dollar out of old ideas, and as soon as someone takes a chance and hits it big with a new idea, they grab that one and run it into the ground. Which pays off because no matter how bad Slasher Pic XII is, enough people will pay to make it worth making XIII.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
