In this case, dont look at the weakest link, look at the stronger ones.
And alot of people tend to only judge horror on gore content. How about those wonderful psychological horrors that actually make you think and then blow your mind with an unpredicted twist.

"Skeleton Key"
"The Others"
"Sixth Sense"

I know there are more, but cant think now!

And, having got into asian horror in the last couple of months, I am finding many of them dont use alot of gore, just leaving things to the imagination but written in such a psychologically twisting way - with camera angles and lingering, silent moments that just make you squirm.
