I've been too antsy lately to sit through anything but fast pace films that aren't emotionally involving. Most recent example would be Judas Ghost. The newer the film the better, but not required. As well I'm primarily looking for ghosts/haunted houses/paranormal investigations(not extraterrestrial). Others that come to mind are It Follows and Drag Me to Hell.
The more suggestions the better since I've seen a lot.
I'm going through films on my computer and netflix and nothing seems to seem to fit right now.

Grave Encounters is always a good one. The sequel is pretty good too. I also really liked Mama, Sinister, The Last Exorcism, Oculus, Case 39, The Exorcism of Emily Rose and Honeymoon.

Could you give more examples? That would make it easier for me to find more suggestions.
And does it has to be horror?
Asmodexia (2014)
Brilliant take on the possession genre.
The fact that it's in Spanish makes me pay more attention and because of that time seems to pass faster. So in a strange way I'd say it has a fast pace.
The Atticus Institute (2015)
I thought this was one of the better possession/investigation related movies I've seen in a while.
Wer (2013)
"A lawyer is starting to suspect her client might be a werewolf."
Good investigation stuff and some sweet action.
Let Us Prey (2014)
A stranger is taken to the police station and stuff starts happening.
Semi-investigative, original, entertaining and wtih a dude from Game Of Thrones in the lead.
The Devil's Pass aka The Dyatlov Pass Incident (2013)
"Five young filmmakers retrace the steps of a doomed group of hikers in pursuit of an unsolvable mystery."
One of the better found footage movies imo.

Seen all of those 'cept Grave Enounters 2 and Honeymoon and case 39. Case 39 looked bad, did not like Grave Encounters at all. Honeymoon looks good, but also to be slow paced. I'll add it to my list though, ty.

Yeah I'm really into watching horror right now. Not interested at all in general action flics or syfy.

Its on my list to see definitely, but the subtitles would be too much work for me right now.
The Atticus Institute (2015)
I thought this was one of the better possession/investigation related movies I've seen in a while.
Another on my list, is it fast paced though?
Wer (2013)
"A lawyer is starting to suspect her client might be a werewolf."
Good investigation stuff and some sweet action.
Yes, on my list but forgot about. Definitely what i'm looking for. ty.
Let Us Prey (2014)
A stranger is taken to the police station and stuff starts happening.
Semi-investigative, original, entertaining and wtih a dude from Game Of Thrones in the lead.
This looks good too, though it also looks like it takes a while for the pace to be become faster?
The Devil's Pass aka The Dyatlov Pass Incident (2013)
"Five young filmmakers retrace the steps of a doomed group of hikers in pursuit of an unsolvable mystery."
One of the better found footage movies imo.
This one also looks like it takes a while to get faster?
Ty very much, two good suggestions for sure.

Some might have a slower pace but I think they're all interesting enough to make it seem like time goes by faster.
Can't really thin of much fast paced horror. Unless I include the less serious/more funny ones. Like the Feast trilogy.
Or zombie and slasher stuff.
Edit:
Trollhunter is another great movie.

Yeah its a lot of fun. I haven't seen the Christmas/Santa one those same people did yet. Feast was great, didn't know there were two more. Any good?

Each sequel gets worse but each one still has a good pace and some great scenes.
Here are some that are not too old from the unofficial list of "amusing" horror movies.
From what I remember they're all quite entertaining and with few slow/boring moments.
-Blood Car
-Dead Snow series
-DeadHeads
-Evil Aliens
-Juan Of The Dead (Juan De Los Muertos)
-Monster Man
-Wolfcop
