One Missed Call - 1
REC - 5

I have not seen any of these films, so I can not participate this round.

The Devil's Backbone: 4
One Missed Call: 3
REC: 4

Make sure you guys giving a 1 to One Missed Call aren't getting it confused with the shitty Hollywood remake!!

I did not realize that, so I will change my vote to have not seen.

My vote was for the original - but keep in mind that we can't all be scared by the same stuff :) In general (but definitely with exceptions), Asian Horror really doesn't work for me as "scary movies", but I enjoy some of them anyway for the good movies that they are. My votes in this thread are only for the spookiness, not for the quality :)

Can't vote on these, but I just saw House on Haunted Hill (99), would rate it a 1

Scare-O-Meter scores (out of 5)

The Devil's Backbone (based on 4 ratings) - 3.5
One Missed Call (based on 5 ratings) - 3.2
[°REC] (based on 7 ratings) - 4.8

Move over The Haunting, we have a NEW #1 up in the Scary Movie Ranks. It's the contemporary found-footage masterpiece from Spain, which has gathered an astounding 34 points out of a possible 35. That's almost a perfect 5 score!!

The other two post-2000 scarefests score solidly as well. All 3 films are added to the opening post.

You should really watch Pet Sematary. In my opinion, it is one of the best Stephen King movies ever made. It features some terrific performances (in fact, I do not even know who do point out because all the acting was excellent). It has a very interesting story, which is very well-directed. Additionally, it has an excellent score. It is an all-around amazing film. If I had to say, then I would say it was my second favorite Stephen King film after The Shining. Anyway, you definitely need to see this one (I am assuming by not rating it that you have not seen it).

I agree! And it's especially a very effective movie because you really feel for the characters, just like when you read the book. I wasn't that old yet when I first read/watched it (around the same time), and I had absolutely no maternal instincts yet at the time, but I could really sense the father's pain in a very disturbing way.

Thanks, Mett and Kan! You know, I've been meaning to see Pet Sematary for a long, long time. Even my older sister told me it was a really good movie. I may just have to check it out tonight on Amazon Prime.

What's especially cool is I know nothing about it. Only thing I know that happens in the movie, is I heard a cat comes back to life. I love seeing movies when I know nothing about them. The film experience goes into another realm when you know nothing about film, don't you think?

In fact, every blue moon, I'll drag a friend to the theatre & pick a film we know nothing about for that extra experience.

Scare-O-Meter scores (out of 5)

Pet Sematary (based on 11 ratings) - 3.3
Silver Bullet (based on 11 ratings) - 2.1
The Shining (based on 12 ratings) - 3.8

Kubrick's horror masterpiece stacks up really well in the rankings, while the one based on SK's short story disappoints.

All 3 added to the opening post.

The Beyond - 4
Zombi 2 - 4

House by the Cemetery - sadly, still haven't seen it.

I love all three of these movies, but must rank them on "spookiness" level, I guess...

The Beyond: 3
House by the Cemetary: 3
Zombie/Zombi 2: 2

The Beyond - 2

All excellent films by Fulci, but I just do not consider them scary. I gave The Beyond a three, just for the spider scene (it was not scary per say, but certainly creepy). If anyone has not seen one or more of these films, then you should because they are all really good, in my opinion.

ZOMBIE - 4.22

No data on rest

Scare-O-Meter scores (out of 5)

The Beyond (based on 6 ratings) - 3.5

All 3 Fulci gems score well in the rankings, and are added to the opening post with full honors.

Island of the Lost Souls - 3
Mystery of the Wax Museum - 2 (The Lionel Atwill version, not the Price)
Nosferatu - 4 Plenty of atmosphere and chills in this silent classic.

Island of Lost Souls - 2
The Mystery of the Wax Museum - 1
Nosferatu - 5 (one of the spookiest movies ever)
