I have been thinking the same thing recently. Films are just not scarying me anymore, however when I think about it even as a child I was not easily scared.
I think perhapes a film might be released that will go beyond and really scare everyone but for that to happen we need to find new ideas and get past this remake stage. Also everyone is different and reacts to films, situations and life differently, so there will always be people who will not be effected.
As for the paranormal stuff I think there is a lot more to fear from the living.
Films that perhapes made me a little frightened or at least made me panic are not horror:
American History X,
The Day After Tomorrow,
Two examples that I can think off at the minute.
