Hideo Nakata movies are really good. Ringu is the most popular, but I have a soft spot for Dark Water, because it is horrifying and lyrical at the same time; I though the ending was beautiful. Avoid the US remakes, they're pretty dumbed down.

Am I the only one who loved the Evil Dead series? (the real series not the remake...)

Have you seen the second part of Insidious. Turned out to be a pretty good series.

Insidious: Chapter 2

Have you seen the Jeepers Creepers series, that one was a lot of fun for scary film fans.



House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects (sequel) are good films directed by Rob Zombie before he did the Halloween remake.


Then there is Drag me to Hell which was the 2009 film directed by Sam Raimi, I liked it a lot and thought it was well made.

There's so many but those come out of the top of my head atm. Mix of old and new. Am a big fan of horror.

tinyE: Well, kind of. One thing is for sure they went into HUGE decline after the 80s unless you were in Japan which is when they really started their own mastery of the genre. Prior to that I can't pin it down to a decade because as many classics as there were in the 80s I start to think of all the masterpieces that came out of the 70s and 60s not to mention the silent films like Nosferatu and Caligari of way back in the 20s. Mind you it's a debate I love to have because in my mind even a shitty horror is still a great film.

Novotnus: Well, all the horror icons, that we see buthered and raped by modern cinematography (like Freddy, Michael Mayers and Pinhead) were born in 80s.
Not to mention wave of Italian zombie movies - those were big here in Poland back in the times of VHS and first video rental stores.
Well those characters you mentioned (while beyond brilliant and I worship all of them and I own 99% of their respective movies) owe A LOT of their makeup to villains of previous decades like Leatherface, Dracula, Norman Bates, and Frankestein just to name a few. I will say in all my years though I have never seen a forerunner to the Pinhead look which is probably why he's my favorite horror film baddie of all time.

You didn't, ehm, "augment" its paw, did you?

I tend to gravitate towards the following:

Uzumaki
Tetsuo (3): The Bullet Man (A LOT better than an English remaquel should be, mixes the first two movies)
[REC]
Evil Dead (the remake is ACTUALLY rather good, better than most of the shittier redoes of classics)
May
Willard (fantastic remake)
The Call of Cthulhu (the one done by the HP Lovecraft Historical Society)
The Whisperer in Darkness (another done by the HPLHS)
Tokyo Zombie
Planet Terror
Onechanbara (a so bad it's good movie in my opinion)
Pontypool (one of my FAVOURITE horror movies, such a fantastic film and based on a great novel)
Drag Me to Hell
Zombieland (I was actually impressed by this movie for the most part)
Curse of Chucky (yes there WAS a good "of Chucky" film and it was this one, first good Child's Play sequel since 2)

Hope you find some you like in that list, I recommend them all for one reason or another, in particular Pontypool, it is a really good horror movie with an unconventional plot. It is worth watching by ANY horror fan of any degree.

Azilut: You didn't, ehm, "augment" its paw, did you?
Actually I had to give him away when I opened the B&B because he was loaded with mites and stuff and I didn't have the time to clean him up while at the same time keeping the inn clean and legally operating. Good news is he went to some friends down the road where he lives with 15 other cats who worship him.

Event Horizon really love this movie

There's a thread filled with awesome suggestions for horror b-movies that you can check here, if that's your thing. Some of those are pretty recent. Our own resident tinyE made some great contributions to that one.

Right off the top of my head, I'd highly recommend
- The House of The Devil and The Innkeepers, both by Ti West
- Splinter;
- The Signal;
- Isolation;
- V/H/S (I'm definitely not a fan of "found footage" movies, but this one is pretty awesome)
- The Abandoned
- Wolf Creek
- Eden Lake.

I tried limiting my suggestions to movies made only after 2000, and I'm sorry if the genres aren't very diversified (not a huge fan of pseudo-intellectual supernatural thrillers, here), but I think I gave you some fine films to browse through, maybe you'll find one or two to be to your liking. :)

[EDIT] turned my paragraph into a list, for easier browsing

Maybe charismatic, cunning Dracula by Christopher Lee?
Anyway, I love this character (and hate what they did with him in on-going comic book series). He's not really a baddie - he's more like a bureaucratic, workaholic head researcher from another dimension. As I see it, Frank and Julia were the real villains in I and II; Cenos just came to clear the mess.
