A SUGGESTION FOR OUR HORROR DIRECTORS!

Everyone agrees that our horror movies are terrible? While it's OK to defend rubbish like Anton or Eden no-one in their right mind would try to defend Shrooms/Boy eats girl/Dorothy/Daisy chain/Wake Wood/Rawhead Rex/Dead bodies? So from a non-horror fan here's a suggestion? Instead of copying Hollywood/British stuff why not move towards the European model? Most people know that the teenage slasher movie originated in Europe in the late 1960s. The vampire movie was done in Germany in the 1920s. Why can't Irish horror directors move towards the Euro-horror stuff? Surely if we made horror films with a continental slant they would be more interesting than the current rubbish we produce?
