"The Descent" is still the scariest film of that time span. "Drag Me to Hell" was tons of fun, though essentially just a remake of "Night of the Demon." "Zombieland" was entertaining, but totally sloppy and lazy.
Aussie-wise, "Rogue" is an undervalued and very well made gem in the giant croc genre.
Just came across some Korean POV torture porn flick called "The Butcher," which from the look of it may be the most unpleasant movie ever made.

WC is the only Aussie horror I've seen that I can recall. Recommendations?

xp to jeffI saw 'Don't Go In The House' last October. It has a nice gritty grindhouse vibe along w/ a Norman Bates type guy who uses a flamethrower instead of a knife.
― xcixxorx, Thursday, 22 October 2009 18:49 (fourteen years ago) link
Any good Japanese stuff from this period?
― His skin is eroding. His suckers have divots. (chap), Thursday, 22 October 2009 18:50 (fourteen years ago) link
It's another Korean flick, but if you count "The Host" as horror, "The Host" is a blast. The director's "Memories of Murder," while slightly pre-2005, is worth seeing, too, though not really a horror film. More a serial killer procedural along the same lines as "Zodiac."
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 22 October 2009 18:53 (fourteen years ago) link
Just grabbed some new 80s movies to watch. Can anyone vouch for these?
Combat ShockDementedDon't Go In The HouseNight of the Demon
if you are in the mood to see one of the worst films ever made, you can't go wrong with the 1980 night of the demon

so weird i was just going to mention memories of murder with that same caveat
― access flap (omar little), Thursday, 22 October 2009 18:54 (fourteen years ago) link
memories of murder is almost on par with zodiac i think
At some point J-horror switched from ghost girls to low budget OTT 80's style gore. I'm not really keen on it. One I liked was 'Exte' by the guy who did Suicide Circle about cursed hair extensions. Tonally a lot like Uzumaki & pretty fun.
― xcixxorx, Thursday, 22 October 2009 18:55 (fourteen years ago) link
the horror film 'the booth' is a very good japanese flick about a haunted DJ booth. not gory but i thought it was pretty spooky especially considering the setting.
― access flap (omar little), Thursday, 22 October 2009 18:59 (fourteen years ago) link
I really really really liked the strangers until the end
another one of the many horror movies with a great setup and no idea how to exit in a satisfactory manner
part of why I loved martyrs so much was that it found a graceful way out of its narrative challenges
― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Thursday, 22 October 2009 19:03 (fourteen years ago) link
Pontypool is another recent one that takes place in a DJ booth & another one which really doesn't exit in a satisfactory manner. It's worth a look though.

I enjoyed turistas. then again, I went into it with really low expectations. I've never seen anybody say anything good about it, but it's got great cinematography, some creative set scenes, and realistic acting. the xenophobia aspect of the premise is sorta o_O but the same could be said about eden lake.
― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Thursday, 22 October 2009 19:21 (fourteen years ago) link
Would've been great if Giallo was a 'Grindhouse'-style homage to all those 70s films. Instead it's:http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ne5Lb2SiFHg/SpvbzxSGD8I/AAAAAAAAkb8/COv33HMJVmo/s400/giallo_poster.jpg"i am a dud!"

― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Thursday, 22 October 2009 19:39 (fourteen years ago) link
The Descent is great until the monsters show up
Paranormal Activity is bad, unless you really loved the Blair Witch Project
Last House on the Left remake has an interminable rape scene that kind of ruined the rest of the movie.
The Unborn was okay, kinda creepy when you find out the little girl star is an actual little girl
Halloween remake was terrible
Drag Me To Hell was pretty boring
Devil's Rejects is fantastic, a million times better than anything else Rob Zombie has done.
28 Weeks Later > 28 Days Later, but both are pretty good

I thought REC was great. I wasn't looking forward to the sequal but the one report I've heard about it was positive, so...
I didn't much care for the Brit horror movies mentioned above - Eden Lake, Severance, whathaveyou - though none are as bad as The Cottage. srsly do not watch the Cottage.
(oh wait, Brit horror The Descent was excellent).
― DavidM, Thursday, 22 October 2009 19:59 (fourteen years ago) link
martyrs fucked me up - i think i started a thread on it/french horror
the last house on the left remake was way less hateful and violent than the original but i kept getting distracted cuz the avenging moneyed class heroes had this fishy shadow over innsmouth look to them
i rep for it in basic ever ile horror film thread but home movie is the best dv/found footage horror movie ive seen - one of the best build-ups in a move ive seen recently

The Haunting In Connecticut
i may have this mixed up w/ one of the other stories abt waspy white kids w/demons but was this the one with the medium and the sick kid? i liked it too although i almost felt it was more like a suspense or mystery film - washed out and grainy look and how sick and sallow every1 looked reminded me of british crime dramas
lol i have terrible taste but i also really vibed cry_wolf which is a pretty tense but hilarious teen horror/murder mystery
bug sucked btw

It didn't scare me, but The Devil's Rejects was certainly the best horror-ish film of this time span. Inland Empire is beyond genre, but without a doubt the scariest movie I've seen in the last five years.
