The decline of the American horror movie.

This has been swimming around in my mind for a few weeks now and I would like the FFR communities' opinion on this topic. To me everything is too cookie-cutter now. There hasn't been a decent horror movie in years. All of the more recent horror movies go for just shock value and there is virtually no plot to the movie. There are always famous actors playing people about ten years younger than their actual age. There is absolutely no emotional connection to the characters, so if they die a brutal death there is no real effect there. What ever happened to a psychologically traumatizing horror movie. I know this just sounds like a giant rant, but it is something that really concerns me. I want my great horror movies back. So FFR, what is your opinion on this?
