Wait a minute, Ulf.  The only good horror films in the last 10 years are
parodies??!!  There is a prejoritive statement if ever there was one.  It
is too easy to blast the entire genre based only on Hollywood's inability
to takes risks in the genre.  At this hour of the morning, prior to my
first cup of coffee, I cite CANDYMAN, WES CRAVEN'S NEW NIGHTMARE and
DUST DEVIL as just a few examples of films which attempt to do something
different with these tired old cliches without devolving into parody.
 
Just some early morning ramblings.
