Can this website be salvaged?

I have a horror movies review blog.
I created the site back in August '09. The aim of the site was to provide reviews with screenshots of recently-released and lesser-known B films.
I have not updated the site since September.
I never did any SEO on the site whatsoever.
It is listed in DMOZ.
What should I do with this site? Just scrap it altogether and forget about it? Or should I start reviewing movies again and putting up more original content and then start link building and doing SEO? My action movies site does well but this B horror movies site doesn't motivate me much.

    Well do you have a passion for reviewing horror movies. How much work do you want to do with the site. The site dose need a lot of work. You could have some type of way to allow other horror movie fans to write a review. Just an idea

      It can be salvaged. It won't be overnight and take a month or two of solid SEO but you can definitely do it!.

      Are you using any CMS to run this on? I know Joomla offers a great reviews plugin, Review script, CCK, Joomla and Mambo review component this will help others to create content and updates for you. The more often there are updates the more Google will index I am sure there are some plugins for WP too.

    You could turn it into a "top horror movies of all time" website.

    Then you would only have to update every now and then.

    With good content and reviews, it could stay more timeless instead of breaking news.

    Considering how hard it is to get anything into DMOZ, you might well do best to revamp the site and keep working on it, rather than starting over.

    The "lesser known" films could still be a good angle as they would be evergreen and not need updating all the time.

      Does anybody know how I can insert a custom template into Blogger? Edit: don't worry, I've got it. Thanks
