Not at all. Seriously, when was the last time you were legitimately frightened by a horror film? Long time no doubt. I like plenty of horror movies that aren't scary but still have a great premise and are fun to watch. Most notably, any slaher flick.
Now don't get me wrong, it's perfectly fine if a horror movie tries to be scary, since that's the whole point of horror in the first place: being scared. But when they try TOO hard to be scary and forget to give a decent plot with some fun value, it doesn't work. I agree that no one seems to be happy because "the movie wasn't scary enough."
