Question Does anyone think new horror will get good again?

Hello,

OK, so look, I'm going to qualify this statement with the realization that my first attempt at producing and directing a horror feature was not 100% succesful. It has some plot holes, some mediocre scenes, and overall is decent but not amazing.

That said, I now bring an important question:

Where have all the good horror films gone? Will the "Hollywood Establishment" ever again embrace serious horror, or does it think we're satisfied with a few nuggets here and there like Devil's Rejects or Exorcism of Emily Rose?

Arg! 28 Days Later was some good serious horror. Cabin Fever was more of a gross-out film, but still good. I'll even give some props to Final Destination.

But for the most part, we're pretty screwed here. I understand that money is the reason for the mainstay of Hollywood Horror, the cute "faux-horror" titles like Scream 6 and House of Wax as well as the Numerous Bad Remakes.

I'm just wondering if anyone actually thinks we'll ever have a resurgence of great horror.

Cheers...

Jim
