The cheesy romance at the end also reduced the previous emotions generated. Ideally, a person should leave a good horror story unsettled. That's my personal take.

In addition, the best "scares" were in the trailers which I saw half a dozen times. Perhaps those few adrenal spikes other might have experienced were muted in me due to being inoculated by the previews. This has become a big problem with horror and bad comedy film previews.
