Know that "new" movie coming out? The Fog. Anyways, have you noticed that almost half of the horror movies coming out are just remakes? Have you noticed that horror movie directors lost originality now?
Another thing is, why must they use computer graphics? I'm sorry, but computer graphics make a movie look incredibly cheesy if it isn't realistic looking (which basically never happens). Like I saw the preview for The Fog, and I saw the cheesy computer generated ghost and fog. Good job, I shall be forever terrified of ghosts and fog that appear on my computer screen since they will never be found out in the wild.
Also, is it just me, or on every horror movie now, there's always a scene where it gets all silent and somebody whispers loudly, "Oh my god..." I'm so sick of hearing that.
Next, the new form of scaring people seems to be showing an incredibly ugly creature, limbs flying everywhere (after effects), abduction, or just leaving the scene and returning to a corpse with no eyeballs or something. Please, stop this stupid crap and actually show the process of the person being killed, maybe show the monster ripping the persons throat to shreds.
I've actually met people who said "The Grudge was like, the most scariest movie I have ever seen, like, oh my god..." Guess what?! The Grudge wasn't scary!
Let's just look at its horror:
Ghost children - Check
Croaking or odd noise - Check
Haunted house - Check
People entering the house one by one - Check
Blood - Check
Anything scary - Uh oh, looks like the director forgot this one!
Qualities I've pointed out:
Remake - Check
Cheesy computer generated graphics - Check
"Oh my god..." line - Check
Absence of process of killing - Major Check
Seriously, if I made a horror movie, I would make it so that watching it could cause a heart attack, diarreah, cancer, or other stuff. Yes, it would be that scary...

Scream 3 was not scary, all the Screams could've been good if the acting wasn't so horrible and if they didn't do the impossible.
Saw if anything to me was intense, not scary to me though, I can't really think of anything in that movie that even made me jump.

I actually watch comedy more often than horror, horror movies lately just bug me now. Also, in horror movies, it almost seems like the people in that situation always evade doing the smartest thing, like, let's see, tell everybody, run away in a group (very cautiously). Also, you do have a point, I don't have many fears, probably my biggest fear would be to be in an airplane and crash, but I hardly go on airplanes anyways. Also, I couldn't help notice that Ultimo said "faceless" children. The children weren't faceless, they were just Japanese kids who croaked...
ADDITION:
I've never heard of those art-house theaters, it catches my interest.

If I ever create a horror movie and the murderous force was something supernatural, I would NEVER show the face of the monster. This just let's the person imagine anything that would scare them. Probably show the glow of the eyes though, just not any other features, especially the mouth because if a mouth has a lot of teeth or looks weird, it's not scary, it's just stupid, and if the mouth looks normal or just opens wide, that too is stupid. I should probably make a flash to give a mini expression of what could POSSIBLY be scary in a movie. (Of course it won't be scary, I've only seen one flash animation that made me jump due to the loud sound and sudden animation, Taken).

No.
You want to try to make something that would apply to everybody's fears.
For example:
Little Timmy was afraid of chairs.
Obviously, trying to make a scary movie on this would be hard. More than likely, a person would die from laughter if they saw a chair beat down somebody, that or be incredibly confused.

Yes the emotions of fear and sadness. Personally, I believe they acted perhaps too emotional. And the movie was easy to anticipate. I would give scream 6/10.

Boogeyman = Not Scary, there really wasn't anything scary about it, the guy was just stupid, the ending was abrupt, and they used freakin' cgi.
The Grudge = I already explained.
Saw = Intense, not scary, but had really corny acting, like that one scene with the phone, "I need to help my family!!" I honestly felt like it was a cell phone commercial.
The Ring = Gay
The Ring 2 = Gay with the Ring
Signs = Boring, just go to Maddox's website, he explains it well.
The Village = Wasn't even scary, was just stupid.
Darkness Falls = Had so much potential, but it got REALLY stupid when they were dodging the dark. I wish the tooth fairy wasn't idiotic, after all, It could've simply covered itself with its cloak to prevent the light burning it too much.

all youve done is bashed movie. you go write a script get a studio to purshase it get actors and a director. CAG is used to make it alot better, most movies wouldnt be anything with out it. i dont see how its a problem. they might not be scary but do you know if they where on a tight budget? i know most movies suck but still.
