I'm with you on that one, Don. Those ain't your mama's zombies, that's for sure.
And I've taken scarier craps than the Blair Witch Project.
My personal faves are the Evil Dead trilogy, the previously mentioned DOTD remake, and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
They just don't make scary movies anymore. Nowadays the trend is less suspense, more gore.
I would like to add that I thought the remake of The Hills Have Eyes wasn't completely horrible, either.
