Good horror is like a good film in any genre, it is made with intelligence, and at the very least, passion for the genre.
Movies like Alien are works of art by master artists. John Carpenter made good movies, or at least watchable ones because he had a clear passion for the subject matter and cared enough to create an atmosphere.
Most of what gets called horror these days could not be farther from it. It is a special effects movie, basically an action flick with horror trappings.
