I disagree. They tend to give dramas or films that promote pc, critical acclaim while rarely giving any film from those genre a passing grade. These critics are no different than the guys behind the art or fashion scenes. They live within an echo chamber and they value their own opinions too much. They might as well live on another world with out of touch they are with the consumers on those products. 

Get out, the babadook, it follows, cabin in the woods, the Witch, the conjuring 1+2, the guest, it, just to name a few recent examples that have all got good reviews. The thing with the horror genre is that it tends to be  dominated by low budget cash grabs. When genuinly good horror films are made they tend to be well reviewed.

I didn't say that all horror movies get bad reviews or anything. They tend to get alot of bad reviews by critics which is true. Comedy is worse in that sense though. You're right that the horror genre tends to have alot of low budget films but that doesn't necessarily make them bad movies or good ones. Personally, alot of the movies that I like are given bad reviews by critics and most of the critically acclaimed film tend to bore the shit out of me. That's where my opinion on this comes from. Generally, I don't trust critics on films. User reviews/ratings tend to be more consistent with what i like.
