Most of us have to admit that horror movies have been hit or miss in recent years. We try so hard to want them to do well; Paranormal Activity, The Conjuring, and others, but we hitting the horror-lovers' sweet spot is not an easy task.
There is a broad spectrum of horror aficionados. On one hand you have the Gothic romantics who enjoy "The Boy," "The Awakening," and "The Woman in Black." Then, you have your hardcore no-holds-barred gut munchers who enjoyed "The Devil's Rejects," "Saw" series, and "House of 1000 Corpses." There are lots of in betweens, who appreciate the old monsters remade or thriller horror like "Disturbia."
A few new directors have caught our attention like James Wan and Michael Dougherty. I think we all await someone who gets the very simple desire to have Halloween in the autumn. Very few horror movies take place on that magical night. The movie "Halloween" owes some of is success for the mere name of the film - and that every Halloween one feels compelled to watch a movie about Halloween!
