[Movies] Whats your favorite Scary movie of the 21st century

[TheNationGamer]

I'd have to go with

1. Paranormal Activity 3
2. Shutter
3. The Ring
4. (Not scary but a good zombie flix) Dawn of the dead

[Deleted]

Hmm, there haven't been many good Horror films in the 21st century tbh but:
1. 28 Days Later
2. 28 Weeks Later
3. Descent
4. Shutter Island? (More of a psychological thriller but yeah.)

[Deleted]

Some "scary" movies that I enjoyed watching that are from this centurt are:

-REC 1, something kind of different from the zombie type of movies. I actually like it becouse it shows some realistic interpetation when you face this kind of situations where you have to handdle somthing completly unknow.

-Mamá, loved how the girls acted.

[Deleted]

The only movies that really scared me were: [Rec] (Original, Spanish), Martyrs and Ring (Original, Japanesse)

[Faesroll]

The tunnel and Grave encounters were decent, Cabin in the woods was good but I don't really consider it a horror as it wasn't scary at all.

[Neyze]

I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I believe all the paranormal activity movies were terribly boring.

[PBitt]

Ring 1 and Ring 2, I guess. Some people seem to like the Japanese version better and I've yet to see it, but those movies appealed to the type of stuff that scares the shit out of me and I didn't feel they were ruined by dumb actors/dumb characters, or an all-out terrible ending. I thought the first Paranormal Activity had potential but the extremely dumb characters left me cheering for the demon to hurry up and kill them from about halfway through the movie. Insidious was great also until the second half, which was absolutely terribly done.

Another movie that I liked that left me kind of surprised (in a good way) was 'The Pact'. Not terribly well-known or all-out horrifying but a bit different.

Sinister
Insidious
Mama was also good

Shutter Island was fucking great dude, I forgot about that movie. Think I'm going to watch it again now.

[Shinzai]

I don't have one particular favourite scary movie, so here's something of a shortlist instead:

[Rec] (Spanish original)
Pan's Labyrinth
The Mist
VHS
28 Days Later
Saw 1
Let The Right One In (Swedish original)
Paranormal Activity
Session 9
Ju-On (The Grudge Japanese original)
A Tale of Two Sisters
The Orphanage
Inside
The Devil's Backbone (That's 3 Del Toro films now...)
Wolf Creek
Martyrs

[Markluzz]

Let the Right One In
Shaun of the Dead
Pan's Labrynth (Sure it's much more than just being a horror film but that's why I love it)
28 Days Later
Drag Me to Hell
Zombieland (Horror-Comedy)
Paranormal Activity (Weirdly the only one in the series I overly like, I think 2 and 3 are ok and 4 is just bad, like really, really, bad)
The Devil's Backbone
Grindhouse
The Ring
Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (Quality was terrible but scared me to death)

I loved both REC movies.

I loved both REC movies.

I just noticed that you said both... let me let you know that there is a third one that was filmed a couple years ago. If you are going to see it dont expect anything scary. Im not saying REC 3 is bad, I actually enjoyed that film, It´s just you wont see the scary part that made the two first films special. REC 3 is more of semi-comedy-horror film with some good spanish actors but its far away as good as REC 1 and REC 2.

Also, it would explain some minor things about the lore of REC but apart from that you wont loose anything if you dont see it but youll have a fun time watching it.

Just a side note: the makers of the series are planning a real 'Rec 3'/3rd part to the series, to continue the plot of 1/2. Worth keeping an eye open for, they've said it won't be anything like Rec 3, instead being in the style of 1/2 again.

Recent horror movies?

I enjoyed the Evil Dead remake, the first Saw wasn't bad. Pandorum was fun too. Oh Cabin in the Woods and Grindhouse were awesome; I don't think they really fit the genre, but since people have mentioned them here I will give them another thumbs up.

[ParanoiD84]

Pandorum.

Great movie, we need more si-fi horror movies, really like the setting. Event Horizon is one of the best ive seen.

Ugh, thank you. A film about guys rattling things off camera while people on camera pretended to be scared. Whoo hoo. Honestly the scariest horror flick I've seen is the original Haunting. Even for being black and white, and very dated, this clip is why it scared me;

About 2min 45sec, the door, solid wood, starts bending out like its rubber. Ugh, and the scene where she feels someone squeezing her hand trying to break it. This movies still freaks me out.

[Clockwork Pinkie]

VHS. Holy shit it gets intense sometimes.

[Badpaladin]

28 Days Later stand out above all others for me.

[Deleted]

The exorsism of Emily Rose had some warped scenes. Drag me to Hell was a awesome movie imo, but not really that scary.
It seems like found fottage movies usually is the eeriest ones. Blair Witch Project (1999, almost made the cut) is probably my favorite Scary Movie. Rec and Paranormal activity some of the better in that genre.
Should inspire indie movie makers that some of the most succesfull scary movies is made on low budget, with amateur actors and probably could be recorded on a decent mobile phone.
