I think that since horror writers are starting to try to scare us again ie:The Ring, Blair Witch, Sixth Sense, The Others, the genre will keep improving. I remember before I really enjoyed watching horror that Blair Witch scared me pretty bad. When I watch it today its more creepy than scary, but those same elements are still there. I think its actually a good horror movie, but I can see why people dont like it.
I think most of us would agree that movies that actually scare you are better than ones that are just filled with gore and 'boo' scares. There are thousands of possibilities for stories that scare us out there, and if the production companies will continue taking chances on original ideas like they did with The Ring then the genre can keep improving. Since the Ring made so much money its definetly a possibility.
