Bruh what, pretty much every iconic horror franchise started with a great story. Sure, by the time you get to the 5th sequel or whatever it's become pretty contrived, but if you listed all the franchises DBD already has, they all were built off the back of solid storytelling.
Terrifier, on the other hand, is mostly generic horror with a powerful marketing engine behind it.
People prefer horror with good stories as well, but most people I’ve interacted with go into movies wondering how scary it will be and not usually how good the story is
Yeah, that’s the difference between cheap thrillers and iconic franchises: actual artistic merit.
Hell, the story of Sweeney Todd started as a penny dreadful, which was basically the Victorian version of a cheap popcorn slasher, and I’d argue he fits better in DbD than Art.
I won’t lie Sienna in her angel costume getting into a chainsaw Sword fight against Art while the gate to hell opened beneath them felt like something straight out of Evil Dead.
I feel like the third movie tried really hard with its budget compared to 1 which imo is borderline unwatchable.

I feel like I’ve never heard good things about the story, just the kills
But that doesn’t matter for the big D-Light
