Horror fan films?

Can a horror fan truly make a bad film? I can't really recall a film where it was made by a horror fan and turned out shitty....granted, House of 1,000 Corpses is often labeled as "bad", but I think it would've been much worse if it were handled by someone who had no love for horror films at all...I'm just curious, what do you think?

I think that bad film making is an equal opportunity employer.

Maybe. I think he's more of a videogame fan.

Oh boy! I can't wait to see FarCry!

I can't think of a specific horror movie as an example, but I know that sometimes being a fan of something can put you at a disadvantage while filming it. Look at Daredevil. They got a huge fan of the comic to make it and part of what's wrong with that movie was that he tried to cram far too many issues that he loved into a two-hour film. It was like a cliff notes version of Frank Miller's run on the book.
Granted, that was only one of the many problems with this skid mark of a film, but it was a big one.
Some people feel that Cabin Fever sucked because it was more of a mishmash of influences than a coherent film. Heard the same said about Kill Bill and House of 1000 Corpses. I loved all three of them, so I can't join in the bashing.

Was Bog Creatures made by a horror fan? How about Ankle Biters? Drainiac? Prison of the Dead? Chupacabra?
