My favourite scary movie is High Tension.

It's the story of two female friends, who go home to spend some time with their family. At night they get attacked by a stranger. This movie is intense.

Other movies include:

Inside: A pregnant woman is attacked in her house by a stranger who wants to take her baby
Martyrs: This movie is fully of graphic and psychological horror.

lestatdark said: The only movie that actually scared the living s*** out of me was Event Horizon, but that was because I saw it first when I was 10 years old (one of the very first DVDs my dad ever bought). Too much psychological mindfuck horror for such a young mind . I only managed to see the movie again when I was 18, and had no trouble seeing it then.

Good point, I was 14 I when I first saw it I think.

Still, I had watched Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal shortly before it, and a couple of years later I first saw The Shining, none of which had the same impact as Event Horizon.

I actually saw Silence of the Lambs when I was very young (about 6 or so) and it didn't had almost any kind of impact to me. I've always been a bit insensitive when it comes to horror and fear, but Event Horizon was in a whole different level to what I was used to . 

Like I said, it was more because it focused on some deep rooted physicological fears that most horror films barely touch. The constant nightmares that Dr. William has with his dead wife....damn xD.

The Evil Dead. Doesn't matter how old I get this freaks me out. I think because growing up our house had a creepy cellar that I hated due to two things
1. Being very young and seeing an episode of goosebumps (LOL) where there was a creature living in a kids basement
2. A friend telling me about a comic he read where these people had a child who was a monstrosity and kept in the basement and fed people.
Whenever I see The Evil Dead it just stirs up all kinds of fears lol.

I remember when I first saw Ringu it got to me. Mostly because I had a tv that had some problem and sometimes it would randomly turn on. Oh boy was that fun as a kid -_-

Aside from that not much I can think of. I dunno if it's as you get older but different things seem to scare you. For example for me at the moment it's more things where someone's partner is taken away etc. I imagine if I ever have a family it would be anything involving kids.

Also I know it's not the subject of the thread however RE;make has scared me more than any movie ever has. The whole Lisa Trevor thing ugghhh. To this day I have never managed to complete that game.

Let's Scare Jessica To Death (1971)
Entrance (2012)

Those two are my current favorites. 'Jessica' has more psychological scares, while 'Entrance' is a much more visceral horror experience. Both are very effective character studies, though. These movies make you feel for the protagonist when things start to go down. I love it when movies can make me feel genuinely scared (it's not easy), but when they do I become a big fan.

This thread is long overdue! I love me some horror films!

I've watched 100's of them, but the ones that stand out as being the scariest off the top of my head are:

The Descent
The Ring (American version)
Ju-on: The Grudge (Japanese version)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003 version)
An American Werewolf In London
Alien

I'm sure there are tons more I am forgetting, but this will have to do!

Edit: Almost forgot Stephen King's "IT". Saw it when I was around 8 years old. Scared the fucking shit out of me, and I find clowns creepy to this day because of it.  

Good call with Event Horizon. I love that movie. It's so underrated. Not enough people know about it, and it's a shame!

Most, I'm scared of my own shadow, so it's not really surprising.

However, the Amitiville Horror scared me a lot and Chuckie was my obligatory childhood ruiner.

Only movies that scare me are things like:

Seven Pounds
Jeff Who Lives At Home
District 9

The horror genre is dead to me, nothing creeps me out, or scares me. So I have to look at another sense of the word terrify.

Jack and Jill. It made me rip out my eyes.
