[QUOTE=Unaboner3000;513630]I see all these lame horror movies coming out these days claiming to be scarier and having more gore but ALL these films (Saw, Hostel, all those sorry remakes, etc...) seem to be lacking in several areas, but mainly three:

First, acting. My god! I know you can't getting friggin' Tom Hanks or someone like that to star in these sadistic mutilation type films, but you gotta at least get someone with a little acting talent. I honestly haven't seen a major horror release in 10 years that had a great cast (not necessarily big name, but just acted their roles well).was event horizon released in the last 10 years? what about wolf creek? i thought that was well acted, especially the bad guy. you're right about bad acting in horror movies but if you look hard enough you'll find quality. i think a lot of it is intentionally cheesy to give it a old cult classic feel. also, loved creep; good tension, story, acting and bad guy

She conceeded, even though she didnt need to. "Good" is a really subjective term, and although i completely disagreed with her, if she thinks it is crap, then in her eyes it is.

I dont know how someone could think such a thing, but there are a lot of crazies out there :p

i havent read all the posts in this thread yet but i agree that something is happening to horror films and they are becoming progressively worse. the acting is the major problem. it seems horror films today just have blonde girls (or other attractive girls) as the lead and something happening to them. then the boyfriend (who is equally attractive) tries to do something. otherwise, its the husband or wife or whatever. its just.. not good. im sick of people getting lost in the woods!
