I like several movies on that list. The Happening I think was entertaining, I really enjoyed the remake of the Wicker Man, Ultraviolet is just amazing, I love it, though I am not sure why it is listed as a horror movie as it really is a science fiction action flick so I guess if someone see it and expect horror they would be disappointed. Doom is a good movie in my opinion, it is one of the best computer game movies around.
And on that long list of what the author call stinkers you have movies like the Eye, Shutter, well the list go on and on with great movies which he calls bad. And he have Van Helsing as the worst horror movie of the last decade? First off all Van Helsing is not a horror movie it is fantasy action, it is not more horror than Lord of the Rings, and secondly while it is not a perfect movie it is still rather entertaining.
I do not mean to offend anyone, and the author off this list certainly have the right to his opinion, but to me that list seam rather snobbish, many horror movies is a bit campish, that do not make them bad.
I also do not see why everyone is so against remakes, especially with horror and science fiction remaking movies with more modern special effects often makes for good movies in my opinion, yes often a remake can not match the charm of the original, but that do not make the remakes bad.
Now as for worst horror movie, well you have The Human Centerpide which I have not seen however the concept alone qualify for the top place. You have an insane scientist who kidnaps three people and surgically joins them together in a line, mouth to anus to test whatever or not human beings can survive on the well...poop off others. So the scientist run around and train his captives to crawl around and off course in the end one of them, the poor bugger at the end of the chain who have had nothing to eat for days save twice digested food get blood poisoning. The movie is just made for shock value and nothing else.
The worst movie I have actually seen lately is Vampire Assassin, I could tell you the plot, but it is just a mangled mess, the effects and dialog are so bad it seams like something a few friends made over a weekend and posted on Youtube. The whole movie I just sat scratching my head that this ever got a commercial release.
