Strangely, recent horror flicks dont have horror in em anymore. Just watch em for the cgi and sound effects, and the action, what with Blade, Underworld, RE1 & 2, Van Helsing, HellBoy, Amityville(new), Freddy vs Jason, Alien vs Predator etc. redefining the genre.
Thought horror meant scary. Something which would scare the pants off the audience. Are the makers running out of steam? or is the genre gonna be merged into Action/Sci-Fi?
I havent seen a single recent movie which has made me scared. Last one which had that effect on me was Se7en's climax, and that was quite a while back.
Thought the Creeper held some promise, and hoping pt.3 will make some horror sense...

The majority of the movie you mentioned arent even intended to be horror. The majority are action movies, pure and simple, with a few elements of horror. The only real horror on your list is Amityville, Freddy vs Jason, and MAYBE Alien vs Predator. The rest, despite having horror themes such as zombies, vampires and demons, are strictly action. Horror movies are still being made, they're just going downhill. Action filmmakers are realising that horror sells, and adding themes to their movies, often with some degree of success. I dont really kow where Im going with this, I just wanted to point it out...
