Sorry to jump around, but I recall being oddly impressed with 2007 Year in Horror.
Started a thread about it:

Chronogrl's Top 10 Horror movies of 2007 (in no particular order):
* Bug
* 28 Weeks Later
* Crazy Eights <- (After Dark Film Fest Flic)
* Borderland <- (After Dark Film Fest Flic)
* Mulberry Street <- (After Dark Film Fest Flic)
* Fido
* Planet Terror
* The Host
* Severance
* Murder Party
I would recommend for any horror fan who has not seen these movies: Go see these movies.
The following films certainly deserve honorable mentions. While they did not make my top 10 horror list of the year, I recognize their importance in keeping the genre fresh, new, and inciteful.
Honorable Mentions:
* Hatchet
* Behind the Mask
* Black Sheep
* Sunshine
* Death Proof
Even the Blockbusters were worthy of note last year. While I was hugely disappointed with all other summer Blockbusters (as I have already ranted about), I thought it was an outstanding year for Horror Blockbusters.
NOTE: The "Blockbusters" certainly weren't my favorite horror movies of the year (save "Sweeney Todd," which I have a HUGE weak spot for). I am not a huge fan of Hostel II, Saw IV, or Halloween, but I recognize their popularity within the horror community and would be ignorant if I completely omitted them from this list. And while yes, the argument can be that remakes and sequels do nothing but to tread ground, well, that's part of what makes this genre in the first place (think the Halloween, Friday 13th, Nightmare, Candyman, etc. franchises); these films are but following in their footsteps (be that good or bad) to keep that element of the horror genre alive.
Blockbusters:
* Hostel II
* Saw IV
* Halloween
* 30 Days of Night
* Sweeney Todd
* I Am Legend
* The Mist

Going to be honest with you - I was REALLY disappointed with
I Sell the Dead. I thought it was trying too hard.
