Fuck how could i forget Saw? I loved Saw 2 aswell. And Texas Chainsaw, both the remake and the original.

I've never seen Nightmare On Elm Street for some reason. I really should watch it.

yeah i did love saw 2, just not enough to rank it in my top 5. it'd probably be about 10th.
the first nightmare on elm street is really awesome, you should definitely watch it. there's one death scene in particular that is just so GROSS, it's worth watching the entire movie.

keyofgmaybeb - i agree. the original chainsaw massacre is pretty much the only horror movie that's ever scared the living crap out of me. it's incredibly disturbing, but love it.

Saw 2 wasnt maybe that good because the idea had been already used.. but still it was surprising..

It reminded me a bit of The Cube.

it's not so much scary but it's really sinister

The Grudge scared the shit out of me, seeing it at the cinema made it so much scarier.
i also like The Blair Witch Project and The Ring, the Shining etc. i really like scary films but mostly i'm disappointed because it seems that all the effort is put into making it look scary and building up tension etc and the story line is just secondary to that. bad story lines ruin most scary films.

3 people have told me i look like cairrie this doesn't feel like a compliment

Nightwatch is the beginning of a great series!!! The movies are good, but the books are better. The movies leave out so much, so if you like to READ horror books, pick up Night Watch, then Day Watch is next, and I don't know the name of the 3rd book, but there is one.

candyman <3

so many of these movies you guys have suggested i have many times almost rented but then passed...so good to know that some of these might actually be worth watching.

i was waiting for someone to mention these. both of them scared the shit out of me.

i was 17 when i saw blair witch, and i went home and slept in my parents room

I've seen all the ginger snaps movie, But i like the first the best. The second was ok, and i think the third was a little pushing it alittle. All in all i think this was a decent trilogy.

I remember seeing the Blair Witch Project the night it came out when people weren't sure if it was real or not... The first night after wasn't that bad, but the next night, my friend came to sleep over at my house and then we heard funny noises and decided to go spend the night at an all-night coffee shop...

Cemetary Man with Rupert Everet.

I love horror films with a sense of humor, plus the movie is so visually beautiful (they filmed it in an old cemetary in Tuscany). It is set around a caretaker of an Italian cemetary whose decendants come back to life after 7 days and he has gotten so used to his job that he casually shoots them in the head while talking on the phone. It has a ton of more plot lines after that, including his perfect woman returning in many different forms.

Anyone with a sick sense of humor will love this movie.

when i was 12, i couldn't watch that movie without screaming my brains out. i'm sure if i watched it now it wouldn't be anywhere near as terrifying.

The first two are awesome!

For dark water do you mean the hollywood one of the Japanese one?

The Descent scared the shit out of me.
The re make of the hills have eyes just made me cringe the whole way through, it was unneccesarily gory.

I can't think of any other ones that have actually been scary..

It still stands up. I bought it not long ago and surprised at the quality of it, i don't think it really got the recognition it deserved compared to other similar movies. I still find the part inside the black girl's apartment really full on. You should see it again, even just to see the creepy as hell abandoned apartment.

haha i don't remember that part.
i DO remember something about... a girl in an upstairs bathroom getting slaughtered by candyman, and all the blood starts dripping through the floor, onto whoever is sitting downstairs.

am i right, or was that just in a similar movie?

if there are abandoned buildings involved, i am SO watching it again.

That bit was right at the start. The woman in the movie (Helen i think) is writing a thesis on urban legends and hears about Candyman which takes her to Cabrini Green http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabrini_Green - you really should get it out.

i seriously just like, cried through the remake of the hills have eyes. nothing usually ever shocks me but that, god, it wasn't even a cool/dark atmosphere like some horror movies. just plain disgusting rotting death puke.

silent hill is an amazing horror movie. i'm a huge fan of the games so maybe that has something to do with it, a lot of people that never played the games before said it was boring. wether you do or don't it's still a great movie, the storyline is very easy to follow IMO.
