I enjoyed The Woman in Black.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake with Jessica Biel was about the only movie that's really gotten under my skin in about the last 10+ years. Had me on the edge of my seat through most of it.

There's a scene in True ROmance where James Gandolfini beats the hell out of Patricia Arquette. He's about to kill her, and he starts talking about the first time you kill someone, how traumatic it is. Whether you're Wyatt Earp or Jack the RIpper, the first one always fucks you up. But then it becomes same ole, same ole. The same is true with horror movies. The first couple you see freak you out, but you become immune to it. I'm not saying you can't realize a scary scene, but it won't truely terrify you.

The movie creepers from 1985 I think with the guy who played dr loomis in original Halloween the end boy scene is good

I would go with Session 9, The Call Of Cthulhu, Insidious, The Tunnel, Grave Encounters and Heartless.

I watched it a week ago and found it okay; I got a few shivers down my spine. About a week before that, I watched the original (1989) and shat my pants at the bit where the woman screams in his face. That was really scary.

I think that's all you can hope for these days, a spine tingler. As adults we'll never be affected in the same way as were, watching The Exorcist at 13 years old.

The only way to be unsettled by cinema these days, is through extreme cinema. And fuck that! I tried watching AUM and turned it off after 15 mins, and I believe there is much worse on the market.

I havent been truly scared by a film in ages. Grossed out, and maybe a bit troubled by some, but not actually frightened. Guess I'm too jaded lol

If you have been watching horror movies for a long time. Then there Is probably not to many horrors that can scare you. You could try films such as august underground mordum or cannibal holocaust though they are more disturbing than scary. Plus im only 15 and have seen 605 horror films so far, so im not to much of an expert yet :(

The Exorcist definitely goes down as my number one most frightening movie. There are scenes from that film that make my hair stand up, literally. The Ring is a close second. That was the first and only time since childhood that I kept the lights on for as long as I could before going to sleep. I habitually fall asleep with the TV on and for a solid week I left the TV in my bedroom unplugged.

The Blair Witch Project got me good but I know the majority of people don't get it. While growing up, my family and I would go camping quite often in the woods of New England. The sounds you hear in that film are the standard sounds of the night. After seeing that, those sounds are never the same again. Last, but not least, is the original Halloween, one of my top five all-time horror flicks. It's not "frightening", per se, but more creepy. The methodical movements and gestures of Michael Myers were something that always stuck with me.
