Camcorder crap

Low-budget indie films are mostly rubbish and seem to revolve around the same themes: ridiculous horror (typically Vampires), poorly-choreographed action, relentlessly grim and unengaging social drama or laughably snarling gangster pics.
For god's sake why? Why are so many of them poorly shot, appallingly acted, cliched crap? Why not a low-budget romantic comedy, or serious drama or historical piece? Ah yes, that's because that would require someone able to write a decent script and a vague idea of how to direct a movie.
My bad :)
