For the most part, I hate 'em all. I still can't fathom why they would touch some of these gems (The Wicker Man? Halloween?!), and they definately do not better them in any way.
As far as new horror, I've liked a few (The Descent, 1408, Slither), and hated most (Hostel, Saw).
The thing that modern horror is lacking (even in the films I gave that IO liked) is that nothing is subtle anymore. Movies like Rosemary's Baby, Psycho, Cat People, The Shining, etc. were so damn creepy because we were wathing it with one eye...there was always that element of unknown suspense. Not shock- there is a difference.
