Good horror movies..
Discussion
Some really good suggestions in this thread so far, and for once only one for Event Horizon (which seems to be the default PH scary movie). I definitely agree with It Follows, [Rec], Cabin In The Woods (although comedy really), Session 9, The Descent, The Chaser (not really horror, but certainly feels like it at times) and Switchblade Romance (Haute Tension). Depends what you're after though; you might like to be creeped out, you might like to be brutalised, you might fancy brain out (no pun) gore.
How about:
Kairo (nobody EVER seems to have seen this but it is utterly terrifying)
Ringu
Martyrs
The Ruins
Skew
Primal
The Hills Have Eyes (2006)
The Beyond and/or Zombie Flesheaters
Maniac (2012)
The Thing (1982)
Inside
You're Next
Kill List
VHS 2 (much better than the first one)
off the top of my head...
e: just noticed rich85 said Hills Have Eyes too, sorry.

Far too many film makers forget that what you can't see is scarier than what you can. Look at the hand holding scene from The Haunting, which creates real tension with only the power of suggestion, or how little the Alien is seen in the first film. Getting a bunch of unlikeable teens together and creating lots of cheap jump scares does not make a good horror film.
The Haunting...wow, yeah that is very creepy, probably in my top ten...the original, not the remake.rich85uk said:
i have pretty much given up on horror as its nearly impossible to find a good one these days but always thought The Descent and The Hills Have Eyes(2006) were pretty good, if you don't mind subtitles then these are well worth a watch
Switchblade Romance
Frontiers
Cold Prey + Cold Prey 2
The Chaser
Now your talking, switchblade is one of my all time favourites, have you seen martyrs? The only horror I've struggled to watch, the second half can only be described as an ordeal. Switchblade Romance
Frontiers
Cold Prey + Cold Prey 2
The Chaser

Not yet but i should, although i thought Inside was abit on the squeamish side... And for context, Martyrs is a proper film and the ordeal is only part of what it has to say. For pure ordeal, there's always something like Gurotesuku which is no fun at all other than as some kind of horror Top Trump.
A couple of other ideas for the OP:
Ils
Dream Home
I Saw The Devil (more of a thriller, but you know..)
In The Mouth Of Madness

The Loved ones, Aussie horror film.
Almost a comedy isn't it? - certainly pretty light amongst horrors. And she's very pretty.Another interesting little film is I Didn't Come Here To Die, which is about a group of teens camping in the woods who get killed off one by one (yawn!) expect in this there's no killer.

If your after something a little different, cabin in the woods is worth a watch.
