DING DING DING DING DING! I agree 100%.
That is exactly what I thought of when I saw the title of this post.
I didn't mind Scream (just the 1st one though), but you're right, the whole subgenre of popculture/horror/comedy got played out very quick. In my opinion there has barely been any good horror post-Scream. The only ones that jump to mind are Jeepers Creepers 1, Wrong Turn, 28 Days Later, Fvs.J, and the Dawn of the Dead remake. On the other hand, I can't even begin to count the number of shitty horror movies that's come out since then, so I'm not even going to try.
As for CGI, I am not a fan of it. I would much rather see some cheesy special effects than some cheesy CGI. Cheesy makeup and gore in a cheesy horror movie can make that movie very entertaining. On the other hand, cheesy CGI in a cheesy movie, just makes that movie suck. Period.
If the CGI is done well enough that I don't notice it, then I don't have any problem with it, but when you see something that looks like you could have made it on your computer, that's just lame. (See a movie called 'Infested' if you want to see the bottom of the CGI barrell.)
