All modern day horror movies, especially the remakes. Stupid ignorant teens. The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is overrated as well.
WTF?? I agree only on some remakes ... I have watched tons of horror and all those series of movies are awesome.. and I completely disagree about the original TCM being overrated.. it is a great film so people love to say it is..

One question. How far does "Modern Day" go back?

Good question Avenger, I really dont consider the original TCM to be modern, I mean its a classic right up there with the original black and white horror films. The early slasher films like Friday the 13th and Halloween arent really modern anymore either. I think that since the start of the use of CGI in horror is the break off point. Give me the old school water coloring and tedious make-up effects over CGI anyday. Some of the movies we have been calling modern are going back over 25 years so I think it could go by generation maybe?

So what about the 90's then? Cuz some damn good gems slipped in during the 90's. Candyman, Nightbreed, Lord of Illusions, In the Mouth of Madness and so on.

I am not knocking the 90s by any means some good horror came out then but I think since Scream spawned all these-I Know Your Final Destination You Were Screaming About Last Summer-it took a horrible turn. Hopefully we are in a recovery stage, at least the films that are coming out are paying homage to earlier films, House of 1000 corpses, TCM, Cabin Fever I even like Wrong Turn, thought it was well put together. It just seems like ideas for horror films are running out.
