Well I suppose if I did, that would make me a troll. But no. I usually end up watching these movies with friends who like them and I just happen to be there. The reason I don't like them is because, according to the MPAA, there's only so far a horror movie can go in their depiction of horror involving child characters/actors, and I don't like my horror that watered down. It's not a hatred of children. It's just a preference in the movies I do or don't like. Everybody prefers what they like. That doesn't make me a bad guy or troll.
But having said that, I am middle aged, and I am slowly becoming the "get off my lawn" guy.

None of your criticisms make any sense. Up the kill factor? The film is following the body count of the novel.
"There's only so far a horror movie can go in their depiction of horror involving child characters..." Exactly what do you want to see then? The entire premise is a killer clown murdering and tormenting children and teens. Isn't a little boy getting his arm bitten off and dragged into the sewer to his death not extreme enough for you? Are you sure you're not a troll?
Your OP criticism - how many films feature kids being tormented by their dysfunctional parents and a killer clown? But they run around on bikes and annoy the shit out of you so it makes the film generic and crap?

I thought my opinion was quite simple. Hell I thought my opinion was mine. I'm just saying that "horror" movies featuring a main cast of kids - TO ME - tend to have more of a kids horror feel to them. Is that always so? Of course not. That's why it's merely my opinion and not something I stated as fact. Different subgenres of horror appeal to different people. These don't appeal to me. The fact I don't know them reaffirms that I don't WATCH them. These boards are for posting our opinions, are they not? So how does that make me a troll?
Besides, the body count is more fun when the people have it coming. The kids probably don't.
Way to beat a thread to death.
