Forest Whitaker is in that one and is awesome actor....made my husband jump a few times watching that one.

    The Conjuring was one of the better horror movies ive seen in years. nothing scares me (seeing the Exorcist at age 11 by myself set the bar pretty high- scared the *kitten* out of me) but ive thought very few horror movies over the years have been truly good. This movie is on par or better than the Ring, which I thought was pretty damn creepy.

    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).
    I personally didn't find Sinister that frightening, but most reviewers/my friends felt otherwise, so you could give that one a whirl.

    Edited because lol I forgot how to grammar.
    haha that movie was great.. I heard a theory somewhere that the "gods" were a metaphor for the viewers and if things didn't happen the way we wanted them to, we'd give the movie bad reviews :P

    The Evil Dead remake is pretty creepy... I actually had trouble sleeping after I watched it.

    I loved Evil Dead remake and original. I hope they make a sequel. I like most horor movies though. I work nights so when I am off thats what I do at night, after I work out of course.

    I love horror movies but also do not particularly care for violence and gore.

    Cabin in the Woods is every horror movie ever made, all wrapped into one package with a healthy dose of intellectual satire. It's AMAZING (but not if you're just looking for scares).

    Movies I thought were actually spooky:
    --Ju-On (The Japanese movie that Hollywood ruined with The Grudge)
    --The Ring (For once, I thought the Hollywood version was better; the Japanese version explained more of the story, but I couldn't get over how FUNNY the visuals were. In this single instance, Hollywood special effects won.)
    --Mama (This doesn't have the lasting scares of "Oh God, I will never sleep again" but it's pretty dang scary
    --Vacancy (I'm not usually one for slasher films, but this is scary because the main characters, for once, are not STUPID.)
    --The Strangers

    Horror movies that have awesome visuals/atmosphere:
    --Silent Hill
    --El Orfanato
    --Insidious

    I didn't think Woman in Black was remotely scary. Dead Silence was fun if you think Ventriloquist dolls are creepy.

    I have other suggestions if you're into the type of movie that just leaves you feeling uneasy and nervous, rather than making you outright scared.

    (Edit for visual clarity)
