I hated that film. Every single jump was already shown in the trailer.
Annabelle was terrible.
REC is far better.

Of the ones I've watched recently, Babadook was by far the best.

Last month, I've watched these films either at home or in cinema:
- Babadook
- Annabelle
- The Conjuring
- Insidious
- As Above So Below
- Sinister
- Evil Dead
Eyes Without A Face, Repulsion and The Shining are the best of the best with horror. Evil Dead 2 (although not really a horror) a tier below that.
As something that probably wouldn't otherwise be mentioned, I stumbled across a cool if a little camp series of horror movies called Coffin Joe, by a Brazilian filmmaker Mojica Marins. I've only seen the first two films, and they are a little hokey and low budget but well worth a watch if you're into gothic and surreal horror stories.

The Exorcist, The Shining and Alien are my favorites.
Best horror film is probably the original Evil Dead, would love to watch that through the Oculus Rift 120 degree angle like the horror film that has recently been released on there (apparently easy to do for any film) will be really like your in the cabin.
Looking forward 360 degree 3D Zombie films of the future.

I'm a huge horror fanatic but it's extremely difficult to answer this as people are afraid of different things... some supernatural, others serial killers, some disasters etc... I would say the following are pretty scary:
The Shining
The Conjuring
The Ring (Japanese version)
Inside (A, Linteieur)
The Innocents
Grave Encounters (if you are into found footage films)
Insidious
REC (the original Spanish one)
Shutter (The Thai version)
A Tale Of Two Sisters
The Shining
The Conjuring
The Ring (Japanese version)

I love horror films and Halloween is easily my favourite. Not many horror films really scare me or anything like that nowadays. The best being the strangers and Paranormal Activity. I'd recommend the strangers for anyone that likes Halloween, has that same suspenseful, chilling feel to it.
Seems I'm one of the few who loves Paranormal Activity, found footage films are awesome.
Man I love a good horror film.
Firstly the Babadook is meant to be one of the best modern horror films, comparable to the Conjuring - I don't know how anyone could deduce from the trailer alone that it looks terrible. I thought it was one of the best trailers I've seen in the past 12 months and I can't wait until I find a decent download of it.
The Thing, The Shining, Alien, The Conjuring, Rosemary's Baby, The Ring (both are good films), Blair Witch, The Brood (Cronenberg), plenty more.
Paranormal Activity 3 is a weird one as me and some mates were high as feck when we went to see it at the cinema, and it was probably the scariest experience of my life. I'm pretty sure if I rewatched it, it wouldn't have the same effect...
My favourite is probably REC. God damn, that final scene in the attic is horrific. Even the 2nd isn't too bad, but I haven't even bothered with the rest, they seem to completely butcher the franchise.

"Based on a true story.." makes a film about 32x more scary.
The Conjuring was a really well made horror with some great scenes in it.

See it at the cinema you eejit!
Quarantine is really good. I think I saw REC on either my Netflix or Amazon Instant Prime lists. I'll give it a look
Fvcking classic! The sequel was a travesty.
Just watched the Babadook trailer and it looks like recycled garbage. They're churning out films like this on an almost weekly basis nowadays. Thought the conjuring was pretty rubbish too.
While it would be 100x scarier I agree, I would lose all credibility I have as a man. Anytime I've gone to see a horror film at the cinema I've ended up slouched right down in my chair with my hands on my face, covering my ears and shielding my eyes. I'm being serious, it would be a fecking disaster.
Saw that in the theater when it came out. I was forced. Yep, that movie was scary as fvck
Quarantine wasn't so much a remake, more a shot-by-shot, almost identical film to REC except it was in English. Yet it still managed to be complete trash. REC just nails everything that much better. Plus it has subtitles so you feel kinda intelligent watching it.
I think they tried to make REC 3 a comedy. It was fecking awful.
Isn't that the purpose of trailers though? to attract an audience and give you a brief idea what the movie is all about? I thought it looked absolutely ridiculous, in a funny way. Hopefully the movie is scary.
Fair enough. I got an old fashioned horror film vibe from it, similar to The Exorcist in a way. Managed to give you an idea of what it was about without showing you the monster about 7 times.
Could turn out to be shit, but I think it's screened early in Oz and got some decent reviews so far.
I found the trailer hilarious but the actual film was fantastic, even with a few laughs in it! A must see in the cinema. A strange horror though.
Babadook is the type of film which just has you lowering yourself further and further into your seat, waiting for a jump that never happens. It's a real mind feck.
Yeah, it's getting amazing reviews alright. I'm definitely going to see it regardless.
Cool. I think all horrors worth their salt should be seen in the cinema. Remember being scared shitless of The Conjuring in the cinema was hardly fazed the 2nd time I seen it at home with my sister. Could have been also down to the fact that I knew what was going to happen though.
I didn't really find the Conjuring scary, don't know why. I'm so used to jumps now, that's the issue with horrors.

Love them all. I watch many horror movies, very disappointed with some of the recent ones like the conjuring and insidious but I did like sinister which wasnt rated as highly as the other two

Not really found any horror/thriller movie scary since I was a kid. I really enjoy them though.
I saw this last week and I really felt let down. It is a good film in it's own right but it was definitely not a good horror film because it was not scary in the slightest. I understand that the director was trying to show the two types of things that make us scared (supernatural and the norm) but it concentrated TOO much on the latter and made the film a little feel a little flat.
Have you watched The Exorcism of Emily Rose?
Yeah, good film.
Acually, I lie. When I watch a decent horror film on my own in my room, I do get scared. I have to keep looking behind me 
I watch it on the TV whilst I sit on my bed with nothing but a wall behind me.Acually, I lie. When I watch a decent horror film on my own in my room, I do get scared. I have to keep looking behind me
I'll definitely check it out. I traditionally watch as many horror movies as I can every October til Halloween
The Descent..have you seen it?
Yeah, great film.
I like watching horror films, though I don't find them particularly scary.
The only one that ever really got me was Scream - and that only for its opening scene, which I thought was terrifying. Emotionally engaging, brilliantly acted by Drew Barrymore, the pacing of it right up till its frantic end was genius.
In fact, it's by far the most underrated horror scene of all time IMO. Susperia's opening was similar, though no way near as bad. Tainted by Scary Movie since, but back in 1996 that was the scene that made me shit my load.

I'd have to agree with you.Not a massive horror person but the other night I said I would get into the Halloween spirit and put on a horror.I had heard Scream wasn't too scary and was more of a satire.
So I went to watch it on my own at night.Long story short,I didn't even last ten minutes,got as far as the doorbell ringing and had to turn it off.
Watched Oculas with some friends yesterday.Some of them had watched it before and said it was the scariest they'd every seen.Was it feck,it was creepy all right and reasonably well made.But besides a few jump scares it wasn't that scary at all
