I am not a big fan of the hack and slash movies, although I will give the original Halloween a thumbs up. And the Scream series was pretty well done, as I liked the dark humor.
And, I like something that is either original, or it has to be a very well done horror staple.
For recent examples of original horror subjects, I really liked "Splinter" and "28 Days later", (an intelligent take on how the whole zombie thing could actually work in real life).
For well done horror staples, I really liked "Drag Me to Hell" (for the standard gypsy curse horror movie), and "The Ring" was pretty good, (for the standard 'watch this video and die' premise!); and "Ginger Snaps" was pretty good (for a werewolf movie). It has been awhile since I saw a good vampire movie though, (too many of the teenage vampire movies for my taste!)
There have been a fair number of good comedy-horror movies recently, including "Shawn of the Dead" and "Fido", both of which are zombie films.
Another good was was "Trick 'r Treat", although the humor was REALLY dark for that one!
My two cents worth.
