SHAUN OF THE DEAD was great... perfect blend of horror and comedy, lots of Romero-gore thrown in for good measure, and a lot of in-jokes for those of us paying attention ("they're coming to get you, Barbara!")
Japanese horror/action seems to get it right. They understand that lots of blood and cats jumping out to scare the protagonist don't always make a scary movie. I am thinking of JU-ON, RINGU, SUICIDE CIRCLE, and, of course, the wonderful BATTLE ROYALE.
