thegammaray: The Truman Show. No contest. I saw it when I was eight, and it's been scaring the hell out of me for 13 years.

Firstly, you just made me feel old.
Secondly, no need to fear living in a hidden camera show, just make sure you are constantly doing things that they're not allowed to show on TV.

PaakType: The Shining got under my skin more than any other movie in the genre. The "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" bit is just a perfect moment of dawning horror. Also: Creepy evil little girls don't get any creepier than in this movie.
But the the best horror movie I've ever seen would have to be Audition. Not really scary, but truly horrifying in a way that most gorefests can't manage.

Unfortunately for me, the first time I saw The Shining I was already 30 and had seen the episode of Family guy where Stewie meets the two girls and deals with them. I couldn't get scared because I was remembering it and laughing.

Then I suggest neither of you ever watch the TV versions of Ju-on. They make the movies seem like children's shows in comparison.
I don't really have a scariest movie. I love the horror genre and it has never really scared me, slightly unnerved me at times, but not what I would call out and out scared.
I would recommend seeing kairo and honogurai mizu no soko kara, both of which have US remakes IIRC (Pulse* and Dark Water respectively).
* Not to be confused with Pulse (1988) which is also a fairly good "horror-ish" movie.
While it didn't scare me per se, The Thing had one of the most intense scenes in a movie of all time.
I'd say The Grudge and The Excorcist

18

Aatami: 18

Oh well, this explains everything :-P
They're stopped doing REALLY scary movies some years ago. Now zombies are just fucking mainstream puppies instead of a gory and unbearable weirdness.....

Just because i'm 18, does not mean I haven't seen classic horror films.

It's not just a matter of "classics", it's the fact than nowadays monsters are commodities and not, well, monsters. There are no horror stars anymore, just an endless series of horror-alike, pre-made packages ready to be served to anaesthetized consumers.

lowyhong: You have to watch Shutter then. It makes The Ring look like Days of our Lives, and Exorcist like Barney and Friends. Ringu was more emotional than scary, but I liked it.

I wasn't really scared by Shutter, thought it kind of sucked actually.
I really don't get scared by these kind of movies, too.
Maybe IT because I didn't expect the damn clown to have such a creepy voice.

Isn't the UK becoming that in its own right? I remember the "Under the Watchful Eyes..." poster...

My point still stands. I don't see the correlation between my age and if I should be scared of films or not.
I'm a wuss.
1) The Messengers (I think that's the right title) - I guess the least scary, since I finished it.
2) Stephen King's IT - uh uhh...I didn't finish this one.
3) The Exorcism of Emily Rose - when she turned around with a face full of bug bits, I skedaddled and took refuge in Balmora.
4) The Grudge - I didn't get through the menu. On the DVD. I was sitting watching the menu while my dad showered, and left by the time he got back.
5) The Blob - THE ORIGINAL, not the garbage remake. That movie is scary. Really really scary. Scared the pants off me when I was a kid, and when I watch it I still get kinda creeped out. Nothing like a creature that CANNOT be stopped by much of anything, and wants to eat you alive.
hmmm... i remember a danish film called Nattevakten(nightguard/shift)! can't really remember much but it was about some guy getting a job as a security guard in the basement of a hospital where they keep the dead bodies... but it's not a cheesy zombie rip-off or anything.. some interesting plot twists.. :O
Don't really watch many horror movies but I absolutely loved Paranormal Activity.
I slept with the lights on that night.
