Do you agree
indie films and asian films are the only good horror movie makers at this point:(

No, because there's also the French, the Germans, and the Swedish.
Seriously though, I don't agree. While I feel that the majority of the best films come from European/Asian filmmakers, that's hardly a new situation. Hollywood does still have some life left in it, it's just difficult to see at times. As for independent film... I have a soft spot for indie horror, but I also have serious issues with "mainstream" independent film. Perhaps if the filmmakers would stop worshipping at the altar of Wes Anderson, we could see more good indie films. Until then, no dice.

as far as films that are available to the average joe .. i might have to agree. Asia is in the middle of a love affair with horror and for a large part they are putting a lot of money and talent into them .. which is far more than you can say for the north american market most of the time.

Anyway, back on the topic. Yes and no. Yes, most Asian directors and Indie directors seem to be churning out better movies nowadays. But, the general horror can, every now-and-then, be good. Just look at The Hills Have Eyes remake. Talk about good gorey fun!

I hate to repeat it once again, but most indie horror filmmakers just make crap. As long as it's "not Hollywood", it seems to be an excuse to have no story, plot, actors, scares, etc as long as there's some boobs and gore. Raise the bar a little. I try to. It's lower than porn now.
