I agree, Saw 2 was really grousome. The girl that got her hands caught in the trap.. Gotta feel sorry for her.
Anyway House Of Wax was good. So was my personal favourite Halloween 2

Hmmm, it's hard to beat the zombie cult film, Night of the Living Dead. Also, you can't go wrong with the Kubrick classic, The Shining.
A lot of what I see in these modern horror films consist of nothing more than a string of "bugaboo" pop-out moments punctuated by scenes of increasingly ridiculous gore. Horror is in the mind, not the viscera.

All of the Nightmare on Elm St. movies 
I just recently started to watch horror movies, not a daily thing for me. I think Saw and Saw2 where probably the first two ones i have watched by choice in a long time. Any other suggestions to good ones that are like those? Because there are some which are just pure scary no storyline, but i need a storyline. thanks
wow, i'm the biggest horror movie junkie on the planet. my favorites : house of wax, saw, saw 2, house of 1000 corpses, and the devil's rejects. i'm way too effing sadistic.
I prefer the Asian ones, especially:
"Janghwa, Hongryeon" (Korean - the title is the names of two girls) - the title in the West tends to be translated into "A Tale of Two Sisters". Has some edge-of-your-seat scares and great tension throughout Plus a neat story.
"Oodishon" (Japanese - title is a Japanese pronunciation of "Audition") - anyone who liked Saw (and a lot of people who didn't) should see this. Some will find the start slow, but it truely has some of the most gut wrenchingly horrible scenes to watch. AND is stylishly directed
"Honogurai mizu no soko kara" (Japanese - title literally means "From the depths of the murky water") - the original "Dark Water". "Original" in this case translates to "much better".

Audition and Tale of Two Sisters were both great. Audition mostly because it managed to get its message across without the need to resort to the supernatural. Plus it was a complete departure of style for director Takeshi Miike as he usually prefers to make action films such as Dead or Alive or Ichi the Killer.
Ring (or Ringu now that everyone seems to want to call it by its Japanese title thanks to the remake) was also good, although Ring 2 was fairly watered down in terms of horror and Ring 0 was just godawful dirge.
The Eye was also a good film but not great horror, as the only truly scary part was one moment in a lift, the rest of the film didn't have the same claustrophobic nervous tension.
In terms of Western made films, My Little Eye was a well made film done in a mock up of a Big Brother style reality show (and the interactive mode on the DVD is the single greatest use of the medium ever) Also the old classics such as Straw Dogs and The Wicker Man are also great.

Yeah, I never really cared that much for Ichi the Killer. Miike has a way of thinking up scenes of grotesque violence, but never found any other film of his that was disturbing in the way Audition was.
Speaking of disturbing (but in a (only somewhat) different way), though the film itself isn't really horror, the ending of Nagisa Oshima's "Ai no corrida" is horrific in its own right (to at least one half of the audience) - and can still cause a reaction even amongst "hardened" film students (at least it did when I first saw it in film history)
.
As a side note, the title "Ai no corrida" literally means "Bullfight of Love", corrida being a loan word from Spanish ("corrida" in Spanish also means something entirely different and even less family oriented than bullfighting, but very appropriate for the film). Very sexually explicit, on (or over) the edge of soft porn, this one. Known as "In the Realm of the Senses" in the Western part of the world.

Never bothered with the sequel or prequel
(or the American sequel).

There were spots of tension to me, but those evaporated when the Pang brothers started to look like the Wachowski ditto at the end of the film

Wicker Man was great, but I never really got why people classify it as horror rather than a thriller... thingy (with compulsory 70s musical interludes).
Another Western one that quite positively surprised me was "The Descent" by Neil "Dog Soldiers" Marshall.I don't see harror movies.............
The Ring (Japanese Verison) and The Fog (the sound effect scared me)
the ring zero (Japanese)
It's really hard to scare people by means of a movie, People tend to mentally prepare themselves when going for a horror flick. The only way to scare people is either sudden appearance of the scary thing or sudden violent attack by the scary thing, Eerie music/Sound effects and last but not the least Lighting.
The most irritating thing I find in the movie hall during a horror flick is when people start making fun of a scary situation, that kills the whole moment.
Anyway, my favourites are:
'The Ring'- The part when the mother opens the closet to find her daughter dead.
'Exorcism of Emily Rose'- The part when Emily's boy friend wakes up to find her on the floor in a frightening pose staring at him.

| Hmmm, it's hard to beat the zombie cult film, Night of the Living Dead |
This was the first ever zombie film I saw ( the old version of course
) and it terrified me. I was only about ten at the most and watched it alone with my parents unaware...it made a huge impression and led to the creation of a huge zombie fan.
I also remember being scared by a lot of the old black and white horror films as a child, again sneaking to watch them and loving being scared by the likes of Vincent Price ( whom I think is a legend).
Anyone else remember Fu Manchu films...scarey old chinese guy...the films always ended with him dead and yet a ghostly booming voice ( and yeah I know thats a contradiction but if you hear it you'll know what I mean) saying 'I will be back'.
I think so much of the old stuff is overlooked in these days of computer generated graphics and huge budget special effects, and yet these old films were classics, and the inspiration for many of the writers and producers of the modern horror film.
Jaws (kept me from learning how to swim)
Silence Of The Lambs (Mr. Lecter is a trip)
The Hills Have Eyes (the Original one - scared me to death)
Psycho (the shower scene still scares me)
Godzilla (the orginal - what a cool ride)

I'm going to have to say.... Halloween 2. Theres that new one coming out that looks really good called Play Again or something. It looks pretty wicked.
Saw 1 and Saw 2 there were really some scary movies.
Well I guess I am a little old school on this one.
For sheer shock of it "The Exorcist" will win hands down for me.
For the suspense which is what really matters I would say that the first Halloween film is one of the most frightening of all time.
I alos appreciate in no particular order:
Candyman
Nightmare on Elm Street I
High Tension (Yes I liked it)

NIght of the Living Dead is really kewl, i mean the way those Zombies come to get u and all, but i have also heard lot of stuff about that moive, its really a good movie given the time it was shot at....i havent seen SAW till now i got the DVDs now ill be watching it now....but my fav horror movie is yet to be released since not even a single horror movie is able to scare me, Hostle was quite ok, it was really really sick which i like in a horror movie, but other than that nothing comes even near to be a good horror movie!!!
I just saw Hostel. That is some gruesome scary stuff. a lot og hot nkaed chiacks didn't hurt either. If you like horror and want to be pushed to the limit watch this one, very disturbing
Every person has OWN opinion .
I best horror movie i have seen is about cemetery of home animals... I saw it ago one mounth. This movie is very old.
The story begins when one new family comes to the one village. They re very hapy there. But one day their cat die. One old man suggest to bury it in this cemetery. And can rise... Then all begines....
I suggest it for all of you!

One of my best is Silence of the lambs. and haniball. They are really good films with a story that keeps you waitnig till the end.
I think that Saw, Saw II, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, I know what you did last summer, I still know what you did last summer were good horror movies. Although I've recently seen Hostel and that's a good one too, believe me.
mine is exorcist. i've watched the first one when i was like 7 or 8 for the first time and that was the scariest shit that i've ever seen. lol
i've watched the prequel also and that one was pretty good too.
also, there's exorcism of emily rose..
i don't know why but anything that deals with spirits and stuff like that scares the shit out.

Besides zombie movies I love House of 1000 Corpses and the sequel. Rob Zombie is sick and twisted.
I like Saw. So many interesting twists and turns.
The Jacket...
A brilliant movie, amazing actors, just great...
Identity...
Real nice, again genious!
Saws...
Well, yeah....

Body Snatchers - it is a science fiction movie, but for me also the best horror movie I've seen.
My favorite has to be either Carrie or Dr. Jekyll Sister Hyde.
The first two Karloff Frankenstein films are some of my favorite horrors. The Lugosi Dracula is pretty great too...
is "The Other" starring by Nicole Kidman a horror movie? if so, thats definitely my fav, tho i didnt dare watching it alone
Nosferatu
Im a big fan of horrors but i can't really choose a main favourite out of all the ones that i have seen over the years. But i have to say the classic series of Halloween.
I have two favorite horror movies, The Village and Jaws. The village because the movies just gives me chills every time I watch it. M. Night Shyamalan (hope I spelled that right) has such an awesome way of making a horror movie without reallly killing people. And Jaws because it was one of the first horror movies I ever watched and it gave me nightmares about a shark falling from my ceiling onto my bed. Not really sure why I just know I didn't get much sleep when I was 5-6 years old.
I liked the Ring although I am told that the American and Japanese versions aren't the same. I thought it was chilling: a girl with the eyes of horse is murdered by her parents (or was it just the mother?) and the karmic imbalance it caused produced a tape that kills! 
Man, there was a lot of imagination there. And a lot of good storytelling.

I'm a fan of horror movies, and I watch a lot, though I'm not updated on the more recent ones nowadays.
I dont know how extensive the knowledge of the people here about Asian horror movies but my favourites are the following
The Eye (Japanese)
The Shutter (Japanese) dam this one is really scary...
Doll's House (Korean)
A Tale of Two Sisters (Korean) more like a suspense for me but its beautiful nonetheless.
Fung Shui (Filipino)
The Village
Amityville
I don't know but I look at Saw as some suspense movie, something. And gory. Its really lovely but... well, I dont percieve it as scary *shrugs*
My favorite horror movie is Scream! That movie scared the living crap out of me! But it was great! 
Definatly Event Horizon, probably one of my favourite films of all time. Very few people have seen it actually in the UK I find, I wonder whether in American context it will be different. I think it was released about 1997.
My favorite horror movies of all time are the Halloween movies. The first Halloween is my favorite out of the series.
have'nt really got a main favourite that i can pick out, can't even name the last good movie that i have seen as they have all been bad in quality. But i'll have to go with the main classics of The Eyes Have Eyes 2. And Halloween.
Also Aliens was good even though its not there not a fully horrorcore movie.

My favourite horror movie is the Grudge. I watched it on my lonesome and it realllly freaked me out..
At that time I was staying in a flat with metered electricity, towards the end of teh movie the electricity cut out.. I was panicking, proper freaked out and couldn't find change for the meter. That was the worst 5 minutes of my life... cool movie as well..
