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.

Well said, critics hating horror movies is a huge myth based on nothing more than the fact that most horror movies are horrible.
