    Horror Movies of the NEW millenium

    This is just starting as my opinion and then quickly spread through my friends as some realiaztion. So i want your opinion on the matter. Horror movies as of late have really let themselves go. I mean you know the genre is doing bad when they have to remake so many of the greats. I do give credit where credit is due it is entertainment and entertaining at times. Whether i laugh at the ridiculousiness of the movie or where the plot went wrong. Maybe i am watching the wrong ones. I understand main stream movies have usually blown but they didnt at one time. When i read plots of movies and watch some of the trailers it is eye catching then i watch it and cant believe i wasted time. Where have the greats gone and when will they return with an outstanding horror movie that will make fans crawl out of their skin?

    ANy suggestions as to what movies i should watch?

    Best modern horror in my opinion is The Strangers. Nothing super new but was still spooky and not a remake.

    check out John Carpenters earlier stuff.. such as they live, in the mouth of madness, the thing, and vampires.... avoid the new movies such as Inside and frontier(s) as they both blew alot of dick.....let the right one in is probably the best "new" horror movie ive seen in the past couple years

    I watched it and i have to say that it was original in a sense. It took movies like wolf creek and any movie that has starnded people and getting murdered. Essentially trapping them at their own residence and murdering them just because.. And finishing them all off, was well worth it.

    So the new Nightmare on Elm streets trailer was a bit satisfying but the list as to why it isnt makes it so much worse. No robert Englund and the voice isnt even close. He didnt even seem as smart assed as the original. Mr. Englund played an amazing role and did Freddy Vs. Jason not to long ago.. why the new face?

    Go underground...I have and enjoy it very much. I did dig The Hills Run Red. I'm not too picky...give me blood, guts and filthy gore and I'm happy.

    Eh even underground "horror" is a hit or miss. Maybe I have bad luck but every time I watch an underground horror movie it over exemplifies the nudity and gore and it's not even scary. That's why I hate when people buttfuck underground "horror", unless it's truly horror, most of it is just one long softcore porno with bad acting and gratuitous amount of blood and gore.

    I like 'em myself actually.

    Anyway, some other modern examples I thought were quite good were:

    The Descent (For its good acting, claustrophobic atmosphere, and freaky monsters.)

    I agree Zombieland was quite good.

    Drag Me to Hell suffered from poor CGI and some lousy acting from our lead protagontist, but it was so good in a campy/intense way, kind of like a haunted house ride in movie form.

    I haven't seen Pandorum yet, but I hear good things.

    So, horror as we know it is fighting to stay alive with the assistance of a pocketful of actual talent out there, but is mostly dying slowly from artery-clogging Hollywood tripeburgers. It seems like the pointless remakes and more pointless sequels just keep crawling out of nowhere. I have no idea what can be done to save horror, let alone American cinema in itself.

    I agree. Could not go wrong with that movie. I couldn't help but be reminded of movies I watched growing up in the 80's. Good lord I am old.

    Here is my opinion on the newer types of scarey movies. There have been a very small hand full of good ones...very, very few. Silent Hill is probably my favorite, just because of the actual story behind it, and then ofcourse the blood and gore in it. Drag me to Hell was -okay- at best. Movies like The Grudge, The Ring, One missed Call....all of these...Feardotcom...they are horrible, and they are what has destroyed the genre. Directors tried to play horror to the younger generations and made them too...I don't know, Pop culture? They try to focus so much on Special Effects instead of working in a scary enviroment and impossible situations. I haven't watched a good horror movie in a very long time...I am starving for it. I've watched trailer after trailer, and the directors have such good intentions...and then just fall short -everytime-. Pandorum was a great movie, probably the best I have seen in quite a while, but I wouldn't call it a great horror movie as much as I would call it a great Sci-Fi movie.

    Too much storyline for you to grasp? Happens a lot with people...they don't understand the entire concept of the movie, and then just say it sucks because they aren't bright enough to see it for what it is. I won't hold that against you though, a lot of people thought it sucked for that reason. I mean, if you can point out why, aside from the overuse of special effects, that the story itself sucks...I will definately retract my statements.

    Don't pull a "you're not smart enough for it" card on a movie, makes you come off pompous.



    ---------
    Back on topic. I agree with Booberry on the strangers. It's just a very simple and well executed movie.

    I won't argue with that...but at the same time, to say a movie sucks with no explaination of why is just as bad. And you know it's true of a lot of movies...people don't understand the plot, so they say it sucks. Tell me I'm wrong.

    I didnt care for Silent Hill at all,and yes I understood the story line just fine.
    My bigest problem with the movie,like so many other movies based off video games was that I would have liked it to have been more like the game,and it could have benefited from more scenes with Pyramid head.All just MHO.


    Movies of the new millenium that are woth a watch.
    The Descent and I prefer Aja's take on The Hills Have Eyes over Craven's I also like The Devil's Rejects.
