Yeah, you're right, I suppose a lot of the gore in horror movies today is for shock value more than anything, which is why there are a lot of torture/gore movies that have come out/are coming out recently.
I'm with you... psychological eerie stuff scares me more than "AHH SEVERED ARM!"
The original Japanese version (not the American remake) of The Grudge freaked me out quite a bit... it was creepy because everything happened in bright light when you weren't expecting it at all, and when the TV set froze on the news reporter's face to make it look distorted... *shudder*
The American one was good, too, but the Japanese one was just more surprising because seriously almost everything happened under daylight or halogen lights, not flickery dark rooms like in the American one.
