Just looked it up, 2007 film? Might check it out....
Please don't. It seem likes a really good plot. It is really just people carrying a camera about for 80 minutes then a really horrible ending lol.

Hmm not really my genre but some goodies
The only Horror movies I remember ever scaring me were American Werewolf in London when I was about 8 YO and sitting in the dark with my cousin who was only 10 YO and The Thing when I was about 9 or 10 watching late night alone on my old B&W portable TV. I mention the age and settings for watching the movies because I think they are the main reason they were scary, maybe not the films themselves lol
Arachnophobia did make me jump out my seat but in funny kind of way.
I loved The Omen and the Halloween movies
But if you want a SAW type sicko torture gore fest then I recommend Hostel and Train ( 2008 version )

I agree with Hostel. Second one isn't too bad either.

Wikipedia wrote:The Woman in Black is a 1983 thriller fiction novel by Susan Hill about a menacing spectre that haunts a small English town.
It was adapted into a stage play by Stephen Mallatratt. A TV movie based on the story, also called The Woman in Black, was produced in 1989, with a screenplay by the distinguished film and television writer Nigel Kneale (best known as the creator of the Quatermass science-fiction serials). A remake of the film is set to be released by Hammer in 2012. The stage play was first performed at the Stephen Joseph Theatre-In-The-Round in Scarborough, UK in 1987. It was very well received and moved to the Fortune Theatre in London's West End in 1989 where it still runs today, as well as currently being on a UK National Tour. The stage play is notable for having a very small cast, but it remains a popular play.
Ah, then I really enjoyed the stage play.

of course, most of the horror movies that are new, we generally place in under our "humor" category, simply because they tend to be humorous, not horrifying...
The recent remake of nightmare on Elm street is one such...
I might check that twisted nerve out. I agree with you that most new horror movies don't have that scare factor so much, but that's partly to do with the times we live in.
The thing I liked about Wolf Creek which was 2005, but I watched it last year is that it only had a small cast focused on 3 backpackers in the Australian Outback. I guess it's more of a thriller than a horror. But those are the sort of movies I love to watch. it kept me guessing as to who was doing those things (even though the cast is small) and then there's the killing and escape etc that follows. Great stuff.

I've seen both the Hostel movies, and yup I liked them.
