ZOMBIE and DEL TORO.
ZOMBIE has given us a gonzo TOBE HOOPER inspired white trash horror sub genre. Three money making films that all got decent reviews. He created a sub genre. DEL TORO is a bloody genius. He is quoted as saying-on an NPR interview - that GODZILLA was his JESUS! My kind of guy! The Japanese inspired films are also a huge influence. The SAW movies are very popular. I just don't think they are important. Torture porn doen't seem like horror to me. Maybe I'm a horror snob.
