Horror movies?

I need a compendium of really really good, and preferably recent horror movies.
The Saw series is off limits, as is anything involving underwater/sharks.
Newer is better, but if its quality transcends time go ahead and let me know.
I already own;
The Ruins,
Vacancy,
1408,
Diary of the Dead,
28 Days Later,
28 Weeks Later,
and Descent.
Thanks!

The ONLY horror movie that had me really on edge in recent memory was 30 days of Night.
Librarians harbor a terrible secret. Find it.
Stay Alive was actually kind of funny, IMO. Especially if you want to see Frankie Muniz doing a horror film, and one where they don't seem to know the first things about video games.
13 Ghosts and House on Haunted Hill were kind of amusing.
That movie was fantastic.
Dawn of the Dead (remake and/or original) is a great zombie flick. That's... all I can think of that you don't own other than 30 Days of Night.
The new one.
Man that movie is just unsettling.
Best horror movie I've ever seen, hands down, is the Orphanage. Only catch is it's in Spanish (with English subtitles, or French dubbing with English subtitles if you prefer)
If you're only looking for recent horror movies, you're missing out on some good stuff.
I would also say that Pan's Labyrinth could be considered a very good horror movie. Fantasy horror, but horror none the less.
It's really good
Also: Slither.

Whatever it is, Pan's Labyrinth is a magnificent film anyway
I enjoyed The Host and The Mist
The Mist had a really crappy and unsatisfying ending though. I think it would have been much better if they kept the original ending from the story.
The Orphanage is a magnificent film. Del Toro is amazing.
Watch it. And if you like that you'd probably enjoy his other film "The Devil's Backbone".
It's by the same director as "The Descent" (it was actually his breakthrough film into the mainstream), and features a group of British squaddies on a training mission up in the Scottish highlands who get attacked by werewolves.
Pure cheesy awesome.
I thought the ending was good - but I must confess I haven't read the story.
gah... the ending was soul-crushing. I have no clue how that got past studio execs and test audiences... Shindler's List had a happier ending then the Mist..
Also, as someone here already mentioned, Slither is an awesome horror movie.
All great films.

If you liked 1408, look into the 3 part miniseries The Lost Room. It's not a horror, but it's a really cool story that for whatever reason, I find similar enough to 1408 that I figure anyone who liked one would like the other.
They Wait was pretty nifty. Not really scary either but had some neat background story stuff in it.
Some movies try to hard, but you can't get past cheesy make.up or effects.
I did see a commercial for 30 days of night 2 : (electric boogaloo ?) .. I refuse to watch on principal.
Librarians harbor a terrible secret. Find it.
i figure you've seen it, but if not, the shining
In the Mouth of Madness is an amazing movie; still one of my favorite horror films.
I'll throw some more in:
-Event Horizon
-Dead Alive
-Bad Taste
-From Beyond
The last 3 are a little older, but they're still outstanding.

Satan in a jar of ooze, but god damn scared the fuck out of me when i was younger
Trust me, it's terrifying, including a magical Pinata that hits people with clubs and kills them.

I also recommend Session 9 as a brilliant modern example of psychological horror.
How are people recommending In The Mouth of Madness? That was atrocious.
I totally recomend it.

Jacob's Ladder
FEAST [unrated or don't bother
Hatchet
13 Ghosts
House on Haunted Hill [don't bother with the sequel]
Hills Have Eyes [original or remake...both are good]
Ichi the Killer [miike is awesome]
The Reanimator [classic lovecraft style story...bit old but still a goodie]
Teeth [if you hate your penis]
Given enough time I could make a huge list but those should be great starting points. Definatly check out Jacob's Ladder. It still has an influence on media to this date and just love it. FEAST and Hatchet are just good horror in general. Good gory fun

They're not very scary (unless you're young), but they are cult classics for a reason...
But basically any George Romero movie is a winner, the modern Dawn of the Dead is awesome.
Are the Saw movies off limit because you will be watching these with a girlfriend? In that case Shaun of the Dead can't be beat, it's a romantic comedy zombie horror flick...
