"Intelligent horror" films?

[Sick_As_Fuck]

I was wondering everyone's feelings on these new intelligent horror films. Movies such as "Mothman Prophecies", "The Ring", and "FearDotCom". Although they're not too scary, they're still considered part of the horror genre. The difference is they replace the senseless killing and gore with mystery and hard-to-solve scenarios. And I guess this is how the new Texas Chainsaw movie will be as well, so I've heard. Anyways, I was just wondering everyone's opinions on these types.

M.P.... was an "eh" kinda movie it was good... better than alot but not one of the best.
I loved the ring. It scared the SHIT out of me... I wouldn't go near a TV for a week lol (but that was after I went and saw it 3 more times :p )
Fear.com I left within 20 mins of it starting. I almost puked, not because of the 'gore' but because of the camera motions.... it was the blair witch project all over again.

Idenity was pretty inteligent and if it was'int then it would have not been any good because I like movies that make you think.

I'm ok with them as long as they are horror flicks. Personally I'm a big slasher fan but whatever comes out way we gotta take it or leave it. Being a horror fan since 4 I'll take what comes.

I LOVED identity! That was a good movie. I love movies with twists at the end like that.

Films were selected by Sick_As_Fuck are very intersting. In my opinion that movies are not horror. Maybe a horror-director near future take adventage of that films? Peraphs, modern horrors scene will get good and terrible as fuck film??
I think horror movies need something new. Otherwise this genre, sooner or late, will die.

It wasn't intelligently done though. I've heard that the new one will have a more dark, intelligent, mysterious plot to it. Not just the teens enter the house, Leatherface and friends kill them, the end. We'll see in 8 more days though. I for one can't wait.

Personally I would rather see the kids in the new TCM walk their ignorant asses into that house. Get the shit killed right out of them...all of them. Not one survivor. No other plot than that. That would be the most intelligent way to do it in my opinion. I don't think I'll get that but I hope it's a good movie either way.

Feardotcom was not an intelligent horror movie. So The Ring wasn't scary huh? Could have fooled me.
