Yes and no
I would rather have a story that relies on shock and atmosphere to scare me, but I also love films that are ridiculously over the top when it comes to gore that they become a parody of the genre - 'Bad Taste', 'Braindead', 'Evil Dead' (1983), 'Pieces' etc are so gratuitously violent that it is impossible to take them seriously, and as such they take horror film art to a new level
