    My husband and I love the type of movies where its more eerie that gore. Lately we watched a lot. So here goes:

    Unborn
    Lady in Black
    Dark Skies
    Devil Inside


    Others have been mentioned that we watched. Cabin in the Woods was crap. Sorry but it was. Saw movies are hack em up there really isnt much imagination. Same with Texas Chain Saw. After the first one you've seen them all.

    There are a lot of good ones mentioned here.

    I would recommend May.

    It is kinda bloody, but it's more of a psych-you-out film. :D

    I love horror movies....
    Cabin in the Woods(loved it, but as others have said, not really a horror movie)
    The Audition(foreign film but wow)
    Human Centipede was just a waste of time IMO
    The Orphanage
    Woman in Black(not totally a horror film but liked it)
    Antichrist is...disturbing to say the least
    The foreign vision of the Eye and the Eye 2 are really good. The second one isn't really that scary but I loved the story.

    I'm DYING to see the Conjuring (Comes out this weekend I think).

    I agree about the Grudge too - way creepy! That boy's scream still echos' in my head.....

    I know these are stupid but I still liked them:
    Chuckys - they cracked me up
    Hellraisers - just flat out gross
    The Omen - SO creepy!

    A movie I very much recommend is REC. The American remake is known as Quarantine, but I've seen both flicks and I can guarantee REC is far superior. It's a Spanish film, so if you don't mind subtitles then definitely give it a try. I'd also like to second someone's suggestion of 28 Days Later. It's one of my top picks for horror movies.

    Other titles worth a look:

    The Evil Dead (I found both the original and the remake to be exceptional)
    Jeepers Creepers
    Tremors (magnificent if you're into creature flicks, but kind of silly)
    Thir13en Ghosts
    Chakushin ari (aka the original Japanese One Missed Call)
    The Fog (both the original and the remake are fantastic)
    Psycho (everyone should know this one)
    Final Destination (I also enjoyed all of its sequels)
    Shutter (Thai original)
    Case 39

    Also, a good way to look up horror movies by year is Wikipedia. I'm sure you could find even more things to check out there. c:

    1: ive only recently watched the saws but im guessing you have? only up to 5 and there so clever, cant stop must see what happens!
    2: i spit on your grave. (dont watch this if you dont like rape movies..or number 3)
    3: the last house on the left
    4: the possession- true story scared the absolote **** out of me
    5: re make of nightmare on elm street, its actually REALLY good
    6: chain letter
    7: the haunting in connicate- based on a true story
    8: the reef - Aussie shark movie, based on a true story
    9: wrong turn all of them
    10: orphan - weirdest twist
    11: the devil inside
    12: cabin fever (number 1, number 2 is crap)
    13: triangle- massive trip out
    14: 1408- more of a thriller, but really good
    15: vacency
    16: THE COLLECTION this ones real hectic
    17: the lovely bones - not really a horror movie, but really good
    18: house at the end of the street (real freaky twist)
    19: TUNNEL this is also aussie, based on a true story, one of the best horror movies ive seen
    20: carriers.


    there u go! hopefully you havent seen them all and get some choice haha.

    and from experence.. DONT watch the human centerpiede hahaha, i refuse to watch the 2nd after the first.. u will regret it.

    also, cabin in the woods is the WORSE horror movie ive ever seen.

    Enjoy!

    I am a Freddy Fanatic. I haven't been able to watch the new one only because i LOVE Robert Englund.

    I have to second this, Robert Englund is and always will be the only Freddy to me, I saw the newer Nightmare On Elm Street and it just isn't the same, the new Freddy just isn't as scary, Robert Englund was incredible, that face and his voice were perfection!

    I don't like blood & guts movies either... These are some of my favorite spooky/supernatural/gets-you-thinking movies.
    The Orphanage

    One of the best movies I've ever seen. After 5+ viewings, it still chills me to the bone.
    The Cabin in the Woods is awesome and I enjoyed the hell out of it.

    ^Agree 1000% TBH I'm shocked at the number of people who hate this movie.. Different strokes, I guess. It's really witty and satirical, and pokes fun at the whole scary movie genre while giving the viewers a few thrills. Just a smart, creative horror-comedy.

    And finally: Drag Me to Hell. Another mix of humor-horror, but believe me, you will jump (and if you're a baby like me - scream!)

    Cabin in the woods was awesome!

    I'm glad you said that because I was tempted to many times.. I just felt like I was cheating on Freddy with this imposter. haha

    The Cabin in the Woods is awesome and I enjoyed the hell out of it. (It's satirical horror, not so much scary as hilarious... I haven't yet met a person who didn't love it).
    Are you serious? Cabin in the woods is the worst film i have ever seen
    I sooo much hated that movie
    they ruined it after about 15 minutes by taking all the scare out of it. not that it looked particularly scary anyway.

    It's not supposed to be legitimately frightening; it pokes fun at horror-movie stereotypes. I had a great time watching it, but everyone approaches the horror genre differently and we all want different things from our movies. And that's fine. :-)

    I love older horror films, especially foreign ones. Here's some goodies off the top of my head:

    Dario Argento's older works: Profondo Rosso (Deep Red), Suspiria, Inferno, Phenomena

    Dellamorte Dellamore (The Cemetery Man)

    Let The Right One In (the original version, not the US remake)

    Lucio Fulci's Lizard in a Woman's Skin

    Zulawski's Possession

    Juraz Herz's The Cremator

    Kaneto Shindo's Kuroneko

    Nobuhiko Obayashi's Hausu (House)

    The Wicker Man (1973, not the disaster of a remake)

    The Orphanage

    Polanski's Repulsion

    Rosemary's Baby
