I agree, NeAvO. I haven't seen any of those movies you listed, but from what you've said, they don't sound like something I'd enjoy watching anyway.

A horror movie doesn't have to be full of blood, guts, and gore to be scary. The mysterious, suspenseful films have the best effect for me... the fear of the unknown... what you can't see. I agree that it seems like they are running out of ideas so they beef up the boring plotlines with gory violence.
