Scariest movie that you've seen?

Shutter
Paranormal Activity
Insidious (up until the last 30 minutes when it got ridiculously stupid)
Ringu
REC
A Tale of Two Sisters (Not overly scary but a masterpiece of a film!)

Films like Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist and Texas Chainsaw Massacre don't really scare me, although they are all pretty good movies.

Others like Eden Lake, Audition and Martyrs are genuinely shocking, but I wouldn't say they're scary.

The Shining and Halloween terrified me as a child but not so much anymore.

I have seen the Exorcist about 10 times and it scares me every time. Not as much as it did the first time, but still it creeps the hell out of me.

I love !

I didn't see this yet but will very soon. The trailer made it look very intersting and creepy. As far as scary movies go I can't watch The Exorcist ever again. That scared the crap out of me at a young age. I've seen some other really good ones over the years that a lot of other people have already mentioned. One that I no one ever seems to mention and I think is really underrated is Mirrors. I thought it was really creepy. The thought of something looking back at you that isn't you is scary to me. The last 10 minutes with the final confrontation was crazy. My wife wouldn't even watch the screen.

I rank "Pontypool", "Kairo" and "Dead End" as the scariest.

"The Last Winter" I rank fourth, it being my favorite film.

Jaws, The Exorcist, Halloween (the original), The Descent, Psycho, Frontiers, The Omen (the original), Ringu, The Hills Have Eyes (the original), Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, a classic silent flick)


"We'd better get back, 'cause it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night... mostly."

The original The Haunting. The Shining. Both classics. Both creepy. Hollywood has lost the ability to make effective horrors that don't rely on cheap jump scenes, gore and CGI.

Session 9 is a great movie, very haunting and the sense of creeping dread sticks with you for time. Some of the Asian Horrors (Ju-on, Ring, I saw the devil) have impressed the hell out of me too - even the Grudge has some excellent scenes. I recently enjoyed the Cabin in the woods - an excellent twist on the genre. Scariest though..Its a decision that sways with mood, but I think it may be one of the following:
The Shining, Audition (2nd time +) Halloween? Maybe.

Unfortunately, that sense of fear we had as kids is gone. Putting a VHS on, and waiting for the start of a grainy horror to begin, with a sense of wide-eyed forboding no longer happens. Who can forget the fantastical apprehension from the moment we hear about Freddy until we meet him in Nightmare on Elm Street. The nervousness during the calm before the storm when you know a soon to be shortlived couple decide to get it on in an outhouse, tent or back seat when Mr Voorhees is at large. We know what to expect in one form or another, whether this be cheap 'n cheerful pop-up "BOO" scares, (Sinister - I'm looking at you) or some blatent rip off of a story told before. We need new stuff. Give me the patience and the budget - I'll make a belter! Theres a pretty scary story / urban myth about a beautiful, sunglassed woman that boards the Yamanote line, around dusk in Central Tokyos cavernous Subway system.......(to be continued)
