Seriously I think the recent one (I enjoyed the most has been CABIN FEVER. I thought it was gory, campy and just enough cheesy to make it look like a good 70-80s horror flick
while on the topic, anyone see that Possession of...what's her name?
was it any good?

heard it was pretty decent

I'd like to see it; looks pretty creepy, judging by the ads.
possession/religious-based stories really get to me. [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]

28 Days Later (although perhaps more of a drama) and Dead Birds are the only ones coming to mind right now...
House of Wax had Paris Hilton in it...
oh wait, did you say Whorer Films? [img]wink.gif[/img]
Haven't seen it but Land of the Dead.
Emily Rose isn't really scary. It deals too much with the trial. Just when you think it's going to get good they zoom back to the trial.
Haven't seen these either: Hostel, Wolf Creek, the Cave, The Hills Have Eyes, Frankenfish ...eh just kidding. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Five or six years, eh...off the top of my head, I liked Final Destination, Dawn of the Dead, Saw, Shaun of the Dead, 28 Days Later, Dead Birds, Bubba Ho-Tep, Dog Soldiers, Creep, the Ring, a couple of the Cube flicks, Frailty...mind you, none of these were 'classics' by any means, but all worth watching.
In the Asian world, I thought The Eye was good, and Three Extremes wasn't bad.
I've heard good stuff about The Descent and Slither but haven't seen them.

wow... i can't really think of anything...28 days, the ring... huh... that's it.
I will go with
- Dawn of the Dead (Don't care what Daj says)
- Final destination
- The ring
It's been slow for good horror films....

The Visitation, eh?
I'll keep it in mind.
My local video store is great for getting in no-name, low budget, and underrated films.
I've found some of my favorite non-mainsteam films there.
Dog Soldiers, Dead Birds, Deathwatch... list goes on.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I had forgot about FRAILTY, that is a fucking great flick.Quote:

There just aren't that many recent horror flicks that can hold a candle to my classic faves. Sorry. But I did enjoy The Ring. Sequal was...well, dull, but the original rocked. If you can tolerate horror/comedy, Shaun of the Dead fucking ruled. A lesser-known flick I really liked was May. It defies description, you just have to see it. Let's just say May takes "making friends" to a whole new level.
I also enjoyed Rob Zombie's House of 1,000 Corpses, more as a curiousity than anything, as well as the sequel, The Devil's Rejects, although I would argue that it is not a horror film in the strictest sense.
