So you wanna direct a new horror movie, with a view to creating a horror franchise for the noughties. Obviously some sexed up teens have to break down and seak refuge in a location with a horrific past. But how do you make it a little different?Easy...Just mix the styles of two of your favorite directors...let's say Robert Rodriguez and Rob Zombie. You can concentrate your storytelling on the psychotic, supernatural bad guys (as they're much more interesting) , set it in the deep south and have cool country rock litter the soundtrack. But, so it doesn't get too heavy going, make sure the tone is fun and jokey.
Most low budget horror movies have shit make up effects, so don't fall into this trap. Hire newcomers who celebrate the inventiveness of ripping off a girl's limbs with latex and a fake machette.
You may not have a genre classic. But you'll have a goodtime gory story thats better than most shite on Zone Horror. Good luck!
