Wow, OP, it's funny how much I disagree! I prefer older horror movies, regardless of whether the special effects have held up. I like the way they were paced, and the way they tended to be shot. I like the way they built character and tension, and the way they made it clear what the story was really about without beating you over the head with it.

It's not that I dislike modern horror, but I feel like it's harder to find ones that aren't shot in a too-glossy, too-frenetic way. The character writing doesn't feel as strong; the pace tends to be too fast; and the tension seems to be meant to come from the fact that you know you're watching a horror movie, not from the script or cinematography themselves. They also have a tendency to dispense with subtlety (an example: 'Come Play,' which overall I enjoyed, has the monster literally tell you during the denouement what it's a metaphor for. Like, c'mon, trust your audience! Don't treat us like we're too stupid to understand what a monster that resides in mobile devices is supposed to represent!).

There are some great recent films out there. I love 'Midsommar' (and 'Hereditary' was great, but I don't think I can watch it again, which seems to be a common opinion among parents). Jordan Peele makes really, really interesting stuff. 'Smile' was well done, and did place some faith in its audience. But generally, I find myself going back to my favorites from the '70s and '80s over today's horror films.
