Like the previous posters have said - do something different. I would find it refreshing to see a modern low budget film without wisecracking, pot-smoking, horny teenagers (or as newb put it, "obnoxious twenty-somethings passing as teens"!), but rather concentrating on endearing lead characters, and a bleak or haunting atmosphere.
I would also say the soundtrack is important. Avoid rock/metal/rap - a minimalistic approach, like a few notes repeated on a piano, or a steady pounding single drumbeat, is much better.
