Nu-horror?
 
Nu-horror (a term coined by Cheebacheeba)...

Definition (provided by Egekrusher)...Not original, not scary, just an amalgam of recycled garbage created for the sole purpose of lining the MPAA's and crew's pocket books.

Examples (given by Moonsorrow and Egekrusher)...Queen Of The Damned, Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Final Destination, and Jeepers Creepers...


So, what would YOU consider "nu-horror"?

I'm going to say...Fear.com and Darkness Falls...

i would say queen of the damned, scream even allot of other films would be classed as (nu-horror)

I'm sorry, but Cheeba did not coin the term nu-horror. That one beens out a bit. I myself hate the term. I think it sucks to lump a bunch of movies into the same shitty category. Nu-anything is something people associate with crap, at least I do. And I like Jeepers Creepers. I don't want it associated with the likes of I Know What You Did Last Summer or Final Destination or Urban Legend. It's just one of my peves. I just hate the term "nu."

I didn't mean to sound like I was correcting you. I just HATE Nu anything. It's just such a derogatory phrase to me. Some bands that are thrown into the nu-metal category I actually like and I feel they are unjustly lumped in with the likes of Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit. Like I said, it's just a peve. How about Faux-horror? Hehe.
