The whole film just screams cliche, but then again, you never felt like it was trying to be original, rather it was harking back to the good old days of horror.
I had read an interview with Eli Roth before seeing this movie, and agreed with him. Horror has a bad image at the moment. It seems that being a "horror" movie isn't enough these days, you have to be a "psychological thriller". And many other horror films are just far too tame, as it appears that they have to be aimed at a wider audience.
Luckily it seems that this is starting to change, with three "good-old-fashioned" horror movies released recently; Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn of the Dead and Cabin Fever.
It's just a pity that two out of these three are remakes, and the other might as well have been.

How about Wrong Turn, FvsJ, Jeepers Creepers, Joy Ride, etc. I think these qualify as above average recent horror movies.
