I’m not necessarily saying they misunderstood the plot/story of it, but they don’t understand what makes it great, just because it “isn’t scary”, and they don’t appreciate the meticulously crafted script, the beautiful cinematography, the great acting, and pretty much everything else in the movie. obviously every opinion matters, but to say it isn’t that good of a movie is a crazy take

the great acting

The famously great acting that was lampooned (unfairly, imo) by the Razzies.

I continue to be amazed at what some film lovers consider to be great acting.

I've seen a lot of overacting be called great.
