Same here. I don't mind the Hatchet films but don't get the whole "back to old school horror" praise they get - they're far too tongue-in-cheek for that.
I've watched a fair bit of stuff since I last posted in here and will probably do a proper write-up when I have more time but one thing I have to admit is that I really enjoyed the Robocop remake. Like everyone else I was against it, remaking one of my favorite sci-fi/action films seemed sacrilege but they really pulled off a good film. It takes the basic components of the original and takes them down a slightly different path, still dealing with ethical issues through satire and although the ultra-violence of the original was lacking in favour of a wider audience and it needed a more defined and interesting villain(s) it was a real pleasant surprise. Definitely worth watching even if you love the original I think
