There are plenty of great directors pumping both innovation and passion into their craft - just look at some of the great horror films that we have enjoyed within the current decade alone: Berberian Sound Studio, Beyond the Black Rainbow, Cold Fish, Dream Home, Father's Day, Here Comes the Devil, I Saw the Devil, John Dies at the End, Julia's Eyes, Kill List, The Loved Ones, Lovely Molly, Maniac, Only Lovers Left Alive, Stoker, Tucker & Dale...(obviously this is a subjective list as it comprises of films that I personally consider to be 'great').

Unfortunately, Roth isn't one of them and instead thinks taking a tried and tested plot idea and adding loads of swearing, gore and pop culture references makes for a one hell of a 'cool' film. Tarantino also does this, but arguably to better effect as at least he has some skill behind the camera... I find that his films are also helped massively by the editing (and often the cast) too.

Horror is far from dead, but there are too many over-promoted lime-light hogging hacks (e.g. Roth, West, Wingard, Zombie) who perhaps push some of the more talented and more interesting directors into the background.

I guess it comes down to personal taste though. Roth's films have their audience, and are generally geared towards the US teen market with their appetite for cheap thrills, gore and tits. Despite the fact that certain sub-genres always seem to remain popular, horror audiences change and the films change with them.
Couldn't agree more. Anthony DiBlasi is one of those great directors who don't get a fair shake of the limelight. Dread (2009) for example, has plenty of gore, but a depth to it and is one of my favourites of recent years.

I have a legitimate issue with Eli Roth - He isn't a filmmaker. we only know about him because Quentin Tarentino wanted us too... Eli didn't make three films on his own as a film pioneer of the likes of speilburg, he had help from a series of fortunate and extremyl rich film-maker friends and the most influencial of them all was and still is Tarentino... Eli didn't break into the industry like Peter Jackson... hard work, actual script writing skills, actual camera and directorial and editorail skills. He had Quentin helping out with baby steps all the way from script to editing.... so Eli Roths films aren't really his films so it's okay to critisize his technique and scripts. Now i guess he has picked up all he needs to know, to churn out films but when he started out, people assumed and worshiped him for being some film god but he wasn't and i'd say still isn't. Screw Eli!
