I think the game just throws things in your face and says BE SCARED while playing scary music. I don't think this is very scary as it's easy to see it coming and after a while these things just give you no reaction. This is coming from someone who got scared playing bioshock and I've never felt myself getting desensitized from horror after playing a bunch of horror games. There's very little build up I've seen at all (yet, at least). It's just a scarefest. The monsters I don't find scary at all either, I think the fat one is funny because his voice acting is so bad.
Have you given up? Because you're approaching one of the best parts in the game. It's really not that long anyway, I strongly recommend you just finish it, your opinion of it might change.
