Does anyone think new horror will get good again?

[PR3SSUR3]

more spontaneous, experimental, low budget stuff from horror buffs who may not be ambitious enough to become pro filmmakers, but have enough passion and love of horror to make something original and cool

This doesn't sound like a probable mixture - "horror buffs" don't seem to have a lot on offer other than glib opinions and irrelevant facts and figures, and are more likely to want to make the next sorry George Romero derivative/homage/ripoff than to consider other avenues.

Most amature experimental efforts appear self-conciously handled, and still signify nothing at the end.

Well, I certainly hope so. Although, sometimes a resurgence of genre is not so good: Anyone up for a remake of "Three Men and a Baby?"

with or without ghost?

Okay, that's a worthy opinion. I was unclear in my argument. My point is that there is more access to the means of making movies. The digital medium has barely been explored. I am certain there is still something new to say with horror. Times change, and so do fears.

horror will never get good - it will stay EVIL!

i actually think the best horror is overseas at the moment - americans are too scared of eveyrthing to want real horror at the moment

Mainstream producers are far too concerned with the bottom line to produce anything that may prove too controversial.

I love movies that are controversial, hell I like anyone who is controversial. Don't you think that is a way to get people to view your stuff is make it the most offending to anyone you can? That just my point of view.

I do agree, actually. It's just too bad that there are so few willing to take the risk in this age of bland, family-friendly entertainment.

I feel that if something is too 'scary' the universal amount of money you will make will be at a minimum; hence all these fat cat mainstream hunk o crud horror films keep coming out.
Ben was a good boy, until one night on Halloween he realized something, he was Satan. Insert crappy Cgi-action sequence.
‘well pop glad we got over that one’ ‘yes son ,but for how long….’ Make a sequel, the end.
