Depends what you mean by "horror".
Horror is kind of an umbrella genre, like 'comedy' or 'drama'.
If it's a hack n slash type, I've never cared for those much. I don't like gory violence that's shown just for the sake of being gory and violent. Not saying those things don't have uses, you just have to know when and where. It's not as bad when the movie knows it's kind of schlocky and plays off of that, but when it takes itself too seriously.... no thanks.
Monster movies? Too many today don't even try to hide the CGI that's used to generate the monster. And the "big reveal" is usually said monster slowly rising up, facing the camera, then letting out a big roar really close to the camera. I'm sorry, as good as CGI is getting, when you're that close to the monster, it looks like it walked right out of a video game.
I'd say I go more for the psychological horrors and terrors. The less I see and know, the more likely I am to actually be scared.
