I thought all of the Twilight films were terrifying.

Licurg: How about Quarantine ? It's an American remake of REC .
Is it more like REC or REC2? Because the sequel was fucking awful and actually managed to ruin the original - something I normally consider near impossible to do.

No idea, never seen REC2 . But I thought it was better than REC .

The fans. Oh dear god the fans! You don't have to look far to see the inspiration behind the faster breed of zombie.

Good. Don't. It's bad and not in any kind of so bad its good kind of way either. I'll give quarantine a look. Thanks for the tip.

Came out in 2007, and you rarely see anything terrifying it is only implied by the things people say. Most of the movie is very dark (it could have been shot in black and white). The end is good too, left me seeing a much wider scope to the story.

Stop what you are doing and immediately go see The Orphanage (2007)... all of you.

i hear good things about cabin in the woods, but being a scaredy-cat i havent brought myself to watch it yet. its streaming on netflix.

i barely put myself through corpse party PSP, some of the scenes in that game (the cell phone) are downright terrifying.

Maybe I'm jaded but I don't consider Cabin in the Woods to be that scary; it's more of a satire. The "horror" moments are tongue-in-cheek and in my opinion there's enough "comedy" context (not haha, but relatively more light hearted or cerebral) to break the tension. There is some gore and gruesome scenes but much of it is genre parody (granted if you're not into horror some of that might escape you). Not for kids, but Cabin in the Woods might make a reasonable way to "dip your toes into the water" of horror.

Yeah it's more of a satire of Evil Dead.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned "A Serbian Film" yet. Sure, it's not a horror film per se, but it's disturbing nonetheless.

REC, REC 2 and the first Descent are fantastic, but you've probably watched them by now.

Even though I'm not a huge fan of Martyrs, I can't recommend it enough. It's one of those movies you just have to watch (like Hostel back in the day), since nothing can prepare you for the mindfuck you'll experience.

Since no one has mentioned this one as well, I'll add Les Sept Jours du Talion to the list. Great concept, mediocre execution, but interesting after all.

And Cabin in the Woods is a comedy, not a horror movie. It's a good movie, just don't believe the hype. It's nowhere near as clever as the filmmakers and the critics think it is.

I'd say nobody mentioned it because they've red the OP :-P It's not mysterious or anything along those lines, it just exists to be gross.

DieRuhe: I loved "The Woman In Black." I tend to prefer "spooky" movies that are atmospheric rather than gross. "The Others" was quite enjoyable too.
Woman in Black was great. Will try the others.

Yes! I forgot about that one. El Orfanato, fantastic horror movie.

trick'r'treat is really cool. Save it for Halloween and watch it then with some friends and alcohol.

ofsaturn: Well, "The Conjuring" (2013) is pretty good. Perhaps not terrifying, but definitely not bad, and you can still catch it in theaters.
Yeah this - its has just the Scooby Doo / Real Ghostbusters investigation feel it sound like you're looking for!

Mystery? Silent Hill (The movie) is pretty decent at that. I also heard some good words about Mama (2013). Also virtually all Asian horror are heavy on the mystery element.
