OK, I'm filled with a little more hope - I had neglected Stuart Gordon - "Reanimator" certainly had bite to it and blended humour very well with visceral gore. Would I be right in thinking that Richard Kelly is the guy behind Donnie Darko? I believe both he and Eli Roth are setting up a studio together with the express aim of getting low-budget, creative horror films "out there". I'll step out on a limb here and say that another real auteur, David Lynch, has dabbled with staples of the genre in alot of his features - Though I haven't seen it, apparently "Eraserhead" has some very dark stuff in it, "Fire Come Walk With Me" has got a great horror icon in "Bob" and some of the imagery in "Wild At Heart" is just off the scale. Now, if someone could tempt Sam Raimi back to the game after wrapping on "Spiderman 2"....
