As mentioned above, usually critics distinguish horror films as either art or less sophisticated indulgence by the intentions of the filmmakers. Films such as ''Friday the 13th'' and other "gore" films are often viewed as cheap exploitation, whereas ''Psycho'' and ''The Silence of the Lambs'' are generally lauded for their psychological study, ''[[The Exorcist]]'', ''[[The Omen]]'' and their [[sequels]] and ''Salo'' are praised for being genuinely frightening, and ''Scream'' is accepted for its parody of the slasher genre.
