Grave Encounters 1 and 2 are probably my favorite. I'm a sucker for those camera show type of horror movies
As Above So Below is a good one as well.

I liked the recent film It Follows.
Final Destination is horror, though I don't think of it that way. It is probably my favorite horror series. The films oscillate between a simple premise and trying to put more depth in the plot and origins, but I love it all the same.
The Saw series, on the other hand, took itself too seriously, punted out too many films too quickly, and owes too much of its influence to far superior films.
I liked Sinister as well. I wouldn't say it's great but there was something unsettling about the home movies Ethan Hawke's character watches.

I liked the first two Final Destination movies. After that they were becoming too absurd for me. The latter ones had still some entertaining scenes in them but that story became just nonsense, But well, that seems to be a fluke of this genre in general...
I also liked 'It Follows' a lot. While I think nowadays there are not that many interesting horror movies anymore this one was a creative exception.

Rec was really great. When it comes to Found Footage this is my favourite beside Blairwitch Project. I also liked the second one.

Young Frankenstein (it's like watching the best parts of Frankestein, Bride of Frankenstein, and Son of Frankenstein)
The Haunting (you never do find out if the house is actually haunted, or if the narrator is just crazy)
The Descent (claustrophobia at its finest)
Nightmare on Elm Street

While I really liked Halloween I haven't watched Carpenter's other big classic 'The Thing' up until this day. But I'm sure going to do this. Expect a lot there.

Yeah, Halloween and The Fog are pretty good, but I think The Thing is the best from Carpenter.

I'm not a big horror fan, but these are amazing.

Bump for spookieness.
Don't really watch horror films. The only one I've watched is Scary Movie and it scared me a lot when I was a child. :/

Hellraiser 1 & 2. I watch those with some frequency.
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah, those were good. 3 wasn't half bad, either. I refuse to acknowledge that there were more

I really enjoy watching ghost movies but unfortunately there aren't many with a good plot. Here are a couple that I remember liking: Stay Alive and Boo. Stay Alive in particular has quite an interesting premise & there's this scene in Boo with a vibrating girl that still haunts me to this day. >.<

Can't say why but I'm not that much into ghost storys. Exceptions exist though. I really liked the Ju-On 1&2 and Paranormal Activity.

Halloween (John Carpenter, though Rob's remake is good) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Tobe Hooper) are my favorites.
Comment has been collapsed.
Good picks. Both real good classics from the golden age of horror movies : )
I also liked the Halloween Remake. Way better than any succesors from the original series (wich is not too hard...)
Didn't like Rob Zombie's 2nd halloween film though. I think he drifted away too much from the oriiginal there.

Agreed, I'm not sure what happened with the remake sequel either, I only watched it once and found it to be unwatchable for some reason but I don't remember exactly why.

I wouldn't say I disliked Rob's second Halloween film, but it was nowhere near as good as the first. The acting was there, the directing and writing were there, but it was just trying too hard to be art and horror at the same time, rather than sticking with the purely psychological horror of the first film, in my opinion.

I'm always happy to see people who agree the Zombie remake was good.

- Alien movies ~Resurrection not so much

- The Collector & The Collection

I've watched a lot of found footage horror lately since new horrors have cheap jumpscares. -__-

Night of the Living Dead (from the 60's, not the remake)
Comment has been collapsed.
Aye, that's a great film ^.^ Was about to recommend it as well.
Apart from that, I really enjoyed Zombieland and Tucker and Dale vs. Evil.
Not the most spooky horror movies, I know, but... I hardly find good ones anymore ._. I need this psychological terror to frighten me, not just a mass of blood and gore and jumpscares.
Comment has been collapsed.
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil was an interesting idea with a fun switch on an old formula. Poor Tucker and Dale trying to do the right thing and everything they do just makes it worse for the "victims"
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes :3 I loved it.
SPOILER! especially the scene where this one guy jumps head first into the wood chipper. I feel almost bad because I laughed so hard

I will, thank you for the recommendation ^^
And I just remembered two films that I really enjoyed :3
Memento Mori and A tale of two sisters, the south-korean original, not the remake.

I don't really consider 'Zombieland' a horror movie. Still very enjoyable. : )

Fracture, The Orphanage, REC, The Devil's Backbone, Julia's Eyes. Spanish horror films are awesome.

Horror is also my favourite genre. It's pretty much all I watch when it comes to movies. However, I don't have a favourite movie from the genre as there are just too many titles to pick one as a favourite. One movie that does deserve to be mentioned is Noroi: The Curse (2005).

Some of them aren't totally horror, but nevermind. Anyway, I'll tell you 5 of them: 30 Days of Night, Pandorum, Cloverfield, Alien, The Silence of the Lambs.

Hellraiser 1,2 and 6
Ring series (original Japanese, not the American remake)
Alien (Horror value of the rest of the series is questionable)
Comment has been collapsed.
I find the first Hellraiser to be really good. Despite it's age it still managed to draw me in with it's well made dark mood.
Haven't had the chance to watch it's succesors so far but heard before that the second one is supposed to be at least equally good. So I'm sure going to watch that some day.

The first one is an excellent example in old-school horror story telling. Rather than going for cheap jumpscares all the time, it unveals more and more about the Cenobites (the bad guys in the series) and becomes creepier with every step.
The second continues what the first started, and pretty much wraps up all there is to say about the bad guys.
6 and 3 both cover the Human side of things, but 6 does it better.
Oh, and Hellraiser: Revelations (the 9th in the series) does not actually exist, that's just a bad dream.

Cabin in the woods was great. Vacancy was pretty good. Other ok movies that have horror qualities are The Ring (American), Saw movies, Hostel movies, Final Destination movies, Alien movies, The Thing, Cloverfield

As the title says. I'd like you people to tell me wich movies from my favourite genre you like the most and what's so great about them. Always looking for new suggestions and also just like to read some opinions. : )
Based to the theme I made my first ever train on sg. But be careful. This one might travel to nowhere...
Ignore the warning
