Are there any good horror films coming out?

No, horror has been watered down since the seventies. Ask any horror fan, RARELY do we see anything as remotely gory as seventies horror films were.

Gore is not needed in a Horror movie, man. Alfred Hitcock's movie proved that. It's good to be realistic once in a while, but movies like Saw and Hostel are just desgraces to the Horror scene. They bring a good storyline, but the gore is completely unnecessary. Horror is about scaring people, not grossing them out to the extent where they want to vomit.....that's not horror.

Edit: Don't get me wrong, these movies are outstanding outside the dismemberment, but the gore does nothing but add.

Dawn Of The Dead was built around gore, that is why it has started such a big cult following, because it was one of the first movies to actually go that far. To be honest, watching a man being disemboweled by 20 zombies just doesn't make my day. They wouldn't need the gore if they used actual scares.

That's what makes George A. Romero a genious. He makes brilliant horror movies, but makes you think about them at the same time.

Being the horror movie fan that I am, I wish there was a good horror movie out. But, if you want a good horror movie now days, you're going to want to rent some Japanese horror movies (Much better than American horror movies). Sadly the only horror movie out is The Reaping... pretty sad. The 80s had some great horror movies, what happened? Amnesiac23

I have to agree with you. The Japanese Horror films are the only Horror films that actually still use things to seriosuly creep you out and scare you right out of your seat. The American Horror scene has just grown to be a gore obssessed cult following.

[QUOTE="cheatymcshifty"]Oh, I forgot, the reaping looks pretty cool (hillary swank in horror seems wierd.. but she is a good actress.. that usualy does good movies.. so.. that might say somthing about it) I think that and 28 weeks are the only ones i'm considering seeing in the near future.lemonfreshpanda

And the reviews have pretty much confirmed this.

I have learned to never read reviews, people who review films for a living take their jobs too seriouslly and assume that they know what they are talking about.

the reaping was crap, but reviews are mostly junk, silent hill did terrible but I thought it was ok, running scared got awful reviews and I liked it.

I dont think night, dawn or day of the dead were as good as george romeros most underrated films, THE CRAZIES, and MARTIN.

oh and BTW, land of the dead was awful. george romero didnt make the first good zombie film, there was a film with vincent prie first called THE LAST MAN ON EARTH that was much better.

I agree on both those movies.. SH was probably the best video-game movie (not saying much, but still) and I read reviews of running scared after I saw it.. and I was so surprised... that movie was really good, IMO

which is why I would rather take my own opinion over a stupid reviewers opinion.

I do realize that movie had some great aspects, I never said it didn't. I just said that it is praised by many because of the gore. The premise of the movie is very scary, but can you actually say you jumped out of your seat in the movie theatre accept for the fact of some crazy guy jumping out of his chair screaming: "Holy crap! He just blew that things head off!"?

you seem to like horror, have you seen a film called SESSION 9 by Brad Anderson, its a really good psychological horror film about friends who go to clean up a famous asylum.

No, but I will most certainly look that up. The asylum part sounds nice....and scary. :D

Haha, sounds sweet.

I dont think it is better than dawn, I like it more than day or night, but if you are a true george romero fan then you have to see the crazies and martin, both great underrated movies that I loved.

Nor should gore, which is becoming a growing problem in the Horror movie industry these days. I'll give you a good example of where gore was actually not abused; The Omen, where the man gets his head chopped off. Not because of some deranged serial killer or zombie, but because a truck with glass loaded in the back rolls down the hill to where he is and BAM! I thought that was gory enough, but the point is that it wasn't abusing the violence.

I didn't like session9 too much.  I think it had plenty of potential, but it didn't ever get good.  I just kept waiting for it to get good... all the way until the credits. 

Is 23 scary?  It looked like it could be, but i haven't gotten around to seeing it yet.

No, but I will most certainly look that up. The asylum part sounds nice....and scary.  :D

in a way it is, gore have always been in horror films, but all we see these days pretty much is films that use gore to scare, its not scary, it is over used and stupid. Now I dont mind gore, but when thats all a film has, then I wont like it much ( except the occasional cheesy horror liek dead alive:P) cmon, we need a little diversity, we need a true psychological horror, the closest I have seen recontly enough is SESSION 9 in 2001 and STAY with ewan macgreggor.

I heard that Dead Silence was really based around jump-out-of-your-seat scares, but that movie really seemed to tank in the box offices.
