All new horror today isn't really released as a "movie", but more a popular pre-teen girls' activity. PG-13 "thriller" horror (I cannot believe they tagged 'Wicker Man' with one) is utter shit: The critics know it, anyone over the age of 16 knows it...the genre is actually losing respect.
The 60s can brag about Psycho.
The 70s can brag about Halloween.
The 80s can brag about Hellraiser.
The 90s can brag about Silence of the Lambs.
Today, we can brag about a fucking remake of The Fog, rated PG-13 for some frightening moments and mild sensuality.
For Chrissake...

The 90's could also brag about Se7en. I think 00's have a couple horror movies that are bragging-worthy. Kaïro, Shadow of the Vampire, American Psycho, Devil's Rejects, and Three...Extremes are all worth bragging about. Maybe not all of them to the extent that the ones you mentioned are, but we certainly have more to brag about nowadays than teen horror remakes starring actors from Lost
