    I've seen what Asia has...

    I think there's more variety and versatility in horror here in the US than in ASIA.

    Why not just retread and work backwards. Remake everything from the 70s, 80s and eventually 90s and see where it goes because unlike other genres, this genre has a ceiling thats near reach already.
    Wow, good job at being completely wrong. Get out of this thread, you're done.

    All genres repeat themselves. Comedy, romance, thriller, suspense, comedy, drama, horror, etc. Have all reoccurring plots, themes, characters ideas. There isn't one genre that's booming with originality.

    There are new ideas out there but the problem is new ideas are a gamble. People seem to forget Hollywood is first and foremost a business. They are there to make money through entertainment, so if they are going to drop several million dollars to make a movie then they are going to do something that will reassure them a return on their investment. Which is why there is an abundant of PG-13 and remakes, PG-13 automatically means it will be available to a wider audience and so far most remakes have been quite successful at the box office. So why stop making something that is clearly working? They don't have to put as much effort into a remake as they would with an original idea so them getting a bigger return is in their favor.

    There are alot of people who enjoy horror movies, but the horror fans like the ones here who are demanding for something other than remakes and more original ideas. (Even though they demand all this and complain about PG-13 and remakes, they still pay to see them.) Make up a small percentage of the movie going audience, so you have to ask yourself who is a business, that's looking to make money going to cater to. A small community of horror fans, or the public in general?

    To answer the original question. Do I think horror movies are getting worse? Yes and no. While I do believe mainstream horror flicks are complete garbage right now, we are just going through the normal progression of horror movies. There is a moment where starts to pick up, then it hits a plateau of most flicks only being mediocre or terrible being turned out with a few gems in between. It just seems worse now because the newest trend are remakes so we've already seen these movies before. The movies really are just as bad as they were when they had the constant stream of terrible flicks in the 90's and in the 80's and so on and so fourth.

    You're opening line made melaugh. In his case, it IS a tumor.

    Thoughful reply Cat, thanx. I agree with alot of your points. But as far as taking a risk with a new idea, I can understand a new director/writer not taking one, but when veterans out there are keeping the dice in their pockets and refuse to roll them, that irks me a bit.

    Our immortality is found in the words and actions of our children.

    You see relatives at holidays, weddings, and funerals, but family is always with you.

    Do not steal, rape, or murder. Everything else is fair game.

    Facing failure is easier than running from regret.

    and IMO Diary of the Dead was not a bright light in horror history, it was pretty mediocre entry from George.
    I have to agree very disappointed with that movie.:nod:

    I really cant tell if they are getting worse or not. I like a lot of movies from each decade and there sure are a lot of shit movies from each decade. I would have to say the majority of my favorite movies come from the 70's and this decade.

    Two films I really loved this decade and crack my top 10
    28 Days Later
    Saw

    Just saying that my favorites come from those decades, not downing the 80's because they brought out a hell of a lot of good movies.

    What needs to happen...
    1. Stop all the remakes. Asian or not.
    2. Bring back the R rating. Forget about the children.
    3. Go back to more visceral special effects.
    4. Make them gory, but not in a way that they'd be classified as torture porn.
    5. Avoid casting novelties like Jessica Alba or Busta Rhymes.
    6. Think of more creative titles. Seriously.
    7. Make new slashers.
    come up with something that hasit been done
