The 90s and 00's actually pulled back on the gore in some ways and definitely pulled back on the entertainment value. If you like gore and you want to have some fun with it, see the Abominable Dr. Phibes and Theater of Blood. Nowadays, gore and fun are rarely seen under the same roof. I Spit on Your Grave is transgressive, Camille Keaton is a sexy avenging angel. Ms. 45 kicks some serious ass. Driller Killer reflects modern life driving a man insane wonderfully and contains some stunning imagery and some punk camerawork. H.G Lewis' the Gore Gore Girls oversteps several boundaries of decency to bring you splatstick brilliance. You haven't seen gore until you see an H.G Lewis movie.

Well, Funny Games (both versions) seems like a nice option for me...

And maybe you'd like to check out a movie called Dark Corners. It's somewhat confusing, but still, hehe...

Besides that... In A Dark Place (based on Henry James' The Turn of the Screw) is fairly good, and the Spanish movie Rec is quite interesting.

As opposed to just being a dick and calling you out for being incredibly closed minded and a disgrace to genre fans everywhere (No comment :rolleyes: ), I'd rather give you some suggestions that actually do fit the criteria:

Dagon, In The Mouth of Madness, Cloverfield, Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, Dog Soldiers, Dawn of the Dead '04, House on Haunted Hill '99, Session 9, The Machinist...

Just a few to tide you over until you see the error of your ways.

Wrong Turn would probably be right up your alley.

Also check out Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The original is a masterpiece but it was filmed in the late 70's so I suppose the remake will have to do for you.

Others you might like...

American Psycho
Cabin Fever
Jeepers Creepers
The Mist
The Skeleton Key
Wolf Creek

Those should be a good start for ya.

Thanks guys. I'll definately try to look up the titles you posted. :)

If you like zombie films there are a lot of good ones... (Not all fit your 95+ criteria, but they're all excellent films.)

Night of the Living Dead (Original & remake)
Dawn of the Dead (Original & remake)
Day of the Dead (Original only.)
Diary of the Dead
Shaun of the Dead
*28 Days Later
*28 Weeks Later
*Quarantine
Fido
Demons
Demons 2

*Not exactly zombies, actually infected humans acting like zombies
