DMTH was one of my more recent favorite horror films. But it's very hard for an industry to come up with new ideas when as time goes one new ideas become very hard to come up with. Most ideas have already been done so it's hard to think outside the box in the horror genre because people become immune to traditional horror so the bar has to be raised. I thought Paranormal Activity was a breath of fresh air. Hadn't seen a horror film like that since Blair Witch and I found it to be very effective. The audience reactions were largely freaked out ones. Sure, some here and there don't get scared much but most people do and it worked. Thus it was a huge success (most profitable film of ALL TIME). But it's good that truely scary movies don't come along so frequently... because it'd become boring and stale. So, by having time pass between true horror flicks, it allows us to forget what true horror feels like and when we re-experience it... it's all that much better.
