Not really a big fan of horror/thriller and such, usually I find them more disgusting than scary.
Event Horizon is a scary film though (no ninpie, you're too young!)
There have been odd moments in films where something genuinely surprises me (In Jaws when someone dives under to inspect under a boat and a head appears from a hole in the hull) but usually whenever something happens in a film that surprises the character, it is made way too obvious to the viewer.
I do like some of the well made ones such as The Shining, Hannibal and Alien series, but I wouldn't say I am actually scared while watching them.
