Horror is the most tactile (for lack of a better term) form of entertainment. The most experience-centric. It's the genre that comes closest to putting the audience in the driver seat, which is where the entire effect comes from. If there's no character development or, especially here, is too surreal, the audiences becomes disconnected.
