It's all about the visuals, fancy editing, and now 3D gimmickry that enhances the film in absolutely zero ways. Eye candy, nothing more. I'll always prefer low-rent production values and slow-burn storytelling over 40 million dollars worth of gimmicks.

How are things like this that different from the
Saw series (now about 9 years old) and every single post mid-90's remake (going back as far as William Malone's 1999 remake of
House on Haunted Hill)?
Otherwise: astute observations. Though, honestly? Good luck telling the low budget much apart from the "big budget." Except for, maybe, picture quality.
