Ferox, I need to see Byzantium. I don't dislike vampire stuff, just have yet to come across something scary. Maybe Guilermo with Strain may redeem the genre for me. I did like let the right one in but only the original. Slow pace but built the characterization. It made me care about what happened to the kids. I get jaded though with originals vs remakes. I never like someone else's vision of an original idea. Not usually. I just can't think of a remake off hand that I prefer.
Exorcisms and ghosts. The industry goes in waves. Vampires, ghosts and found footage, exorcism. And on and on. For some reason older say 70's exorcism movies seem scarier than newer stuff despite all being pretty derivative. Antichriso still bothers me despite being an obvious appear to cash in on the exorcist. 80s film I believe.
JPN films for me are successful because of the cultural difference in the story telling process.
