I highly recommend Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon.
While not really a horror movie check out The Proposition. A hyper violent western set in Australia 100 years ago. Fucking grim as hell.

The greats as far as I'm concerned (and note that very few came out recently):
The Exorcists
Halloween 1 & 2 (original)
Nightmare on Elm Street 1
The Mothman Prophecies
Paranormal Activity
There are a host of other movies that I really like that people consider to be horror movies including all the Romero zombie movies. But these ones
here are the ones that are really scary. Halloween is the only movie that I find to be scary while relying on startling moments. All of these others
are scary conceptually which I think is what makes the best kind of horror movies.

Micheal Myers is the greatest horror movie villain of all time in my opinion. Halloween 1, and 2 are my favorite horror movies ever. Even some of the
sequals were good, except for Halloween 3 don't know what they were thinking not having Micheal in it.

Drag Me To Hell was a big disappointment. I hate to say it, since I'm a huge fan of the Evil Dead movies, but it was like they took the formula from
Evil Dead and made it family friendly. There were some good moments, but overall I left feeling very let down.

Dog Soldiers is fantastic! Quite possibly the best werewolf movie ever made. I have high hopes for the new Wolfman movie though. The Descent was cool
too, those things were genuinely creepy as fuck. Let The Right One In is really fucking good, but I've been told that watching the dubbed version is a
very bad idea and that you have to stick with the subtitled version for the movie to not be ruined.

See, I hated Drag Me To Hell, Paranormal Activity, and Trick R Treat.
I need to see [rec] because I saw Quarentine and I liked it and had no idea it was an "american" version of a foreign film.
Next horror type movie I plan on trying is The Orphanage and if I end up hating it, I give up on horror.
Paranormal Activity I have heard ALOT of people saying good thing about but the story is a bad Amitiyville knock off dragged out for way too long
(even thought the movie is short it feels like forever) and there is about 10 mintues total in the whole movie where anything actually happens. Only
scene I thought was cool was...
SPOILER

Her getting dragged out of bed. Pretty cool but there was barely ANY action at all in the movie. I didn't expect a TON of action but holy fucking
bordem!

I only saw The Orphanage kinda recently, i really liked it but didnt really look at it as a horror as such.
The Devils Backbone (directed by Guillermo Del Toro, same dude who produced The Orphanage and directed Pans Labyrinth and Hellboy) isn't very recent
but is also pretty damn good.

Devil's Backbone is amazing. I haven't seen The Orphanage, but I heard it lifts a lot of shit from Devil's Backbone. I guess that's ok when you get
the writer and director of the original movie to produce your movie....

It does kinda lift some stuff from Devils Backbone but not so much so that it bothered me.
Only reason i even ended up watching Devils Backbone is because i saw Pans Labyrinth (which was a bit of a shocker for me as i thought it was gona be
a proper little kids movie!haha) loved it, so looked into other stuff the director had done and found Devils Backbone and Cronos.

i understand where you're coming from, xnmex.
i have no interest in horror movies these days but i can't work out why.
i love a lot of mindless gore films from the 80s and lots of 70s and 80s Italian horror as well as all that 80s golden era of American horror but the
newer stuff just doesn't appeal.
I think the last modern horror I saw was Hostel and I thought it was terrible.
the first Saw movie was ok but it really went to shit toward the end.
I have no desire to see any remakes.
i just wanna own all the old shit on dvd and then just re-watch it for eternity.
there's no logic involved here, it just seems to be the case haha!

Some points I feel like good horror has not been done much lately and I am not imagining things and that most horror coming out IS in fact total
crap...
Then again...
Sometimes I feel like a crabby old man that doesn't understand these dang kids nowadays and there so-called horror movies!
I am not exactly sure which one it is. Probably somewhere in the middle of the 2.

As for Paranormal Activity...
***Semi-spoilerish maybe?
If Blair Witch and Ammityville had a love child, that would be it. Blair Witch style with Ammity story.

i forgot to add, i'm looking forward to Paranormal Activity.
a lot of people said it's dull and boring etc etc but a lot of people said the same about Blair Witch and i loved that so i have high hopes.
