Alien <-- very dark and suspenseful. It didn't spawn several sequels and video games for no reason.
Aliens
The Thing
Blair Witch if you can get past all the hype.
The Ring
Thirteen Ghosts
Hostel
The Grudge
Poltergeist
Event Horizon
Of course you have classics like Hellraiser, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween as well.
Would recommend against The Grudge. I found it not very scary and the plot was sort of lame.
Not a lot of people have heard of this, but I would have to recommend Audition.
Intense doesn't even begin to describe this movie. Word of caution: some people have a hard time watching it.
GT: Tanky the Tank
Black: 1377 6749 7425
Also,
Night of the Living Dead - 1960s version
Plus the ORIGINAL
Dawn of the Dead - 1970s. Not the 2004 remake.
Thats all i've got mate!
I also recommend the original Shutter (from Thailand, not the terrible US remake) and Kairo (the original Pulse). I'd recommend more gory movies, which I really love as well, but they don't stick with you after the movie ends like the supernatural/ghost story films.
Weaboo List
also the devil's rejects. one of my favorites. for sheer terror, it's hard to beat a movie that features sid haig's balls.
also john carpenter's the thing. one of the best movies he or kurt russell ever made. the scene with the crazy-ass spider head and the scene with the blood test alone make this worth watching.
Also, if you can get past the lame message, Funny Games is pretty intense.
Now THAT is a horror film.
Rock Band DLC | GW:OttW - arrcd | WLD - Thortar
I'm not a fan of The Grudge either.
I'd go with The Eye (original, not remake) if you're only going with one 'j-horror'.
Jeepers Creepers 2 - Fun horror romp, this movie is a guilty pleasure
Ginger Snaps - Black comedy horror about some goth sisters and werewolves. Immeasurably more interesting and unique than the summary makes it seem.
Wes Craven's They - Are you afraid of the dark hurf durf, a scary movie about scary monsters that love the dark. I enjoyed it.
30 Days of Night - Vampires terrorize an Alaskan village. Some people don't like the way vampires are portrayed in the movie but I feel that overall it's an excellent watch (and add a mancrush for Josh Hartnett and you have a winner.)
May - More black gothy horror, if this movie doesn't leave you with some shudders when it's over I'm not sure what will
1408 - Mindfuck horror. Pretty good stuff.
Silent Hill - If you enjoy visuals this movie will give you a horrorgasm.
Looking over it most of the list might not fit your exact description, but suck it up and watch them. For your own good.
The Mist
Incident at Loch Ness
Slither
Cabin Fever
The Abominble Dr. Phibes
The Omen (original)
Shadow of the Vampire
In The Mouth of Madness
Halloween III (you don't need to see the others to like this one)
An American Werewolf in London
Rosemary's Baby
Black Christmas (original)
Suspiria
I could go o and on and on.
Is that the version where
edit: I fell asleep during Suspiria. It's downright terrible. The colors and lighting don't match from shot to shot,
the plot is hilarious, and the actors are just plain bad. You know a horror movie blows if you fall asleep.
I liked 30 days of night , but it's not that scary.
Let the right one in is even less scary, but pretty good overall and you did say international.
Last two are very decent takes on vampires.
I'll post more internationals later as it's certain I'm forgetting a shitload.
Yes. I never knew there was another ending. I guess it just omits that bit?
You should find a high quality, non edited copy of Susperia and give it another chance. Just in case you were tired or something on the first go.
..
Also, and I know this is rude, please don't watch Cabin Fever and Slither, OP. They're rubbish movies. Stay away from anything by Eli Roth, and if you want a well done, recent 'horror'/comedy instead of Slither, go with Shaun of the Dead or Dog Soldiers.
also i am definitely more into the suspense and eeeeee! kinda scary/horror than straight up gore flicks, especially horror movies that are fuck ass scary because it is a situation that could actually happen.
*Thanks Thanatos!
The Thing (the John Carpenter remake)
The Silence of the Lambs (more of a thriller)
The Sixth Sense
Candyman
...I feel like there's another foreign language one I've seen that was extremely scary, but I just can't think of it now.
You might want to check out the Masters of Horror series. They are not full length movies, but shorter, I believe 1 hour long movies done by various well known horror directors. Some of these are excellent, some not so much.
Also, seconded on the Silence of the Lambs. Red Dragon is also worth watching (though I'd pass on Hannibal).
Our first game is now available for free on Google Play: Frontier: Isle of the Seven Gods
keep up the suggestions, i am making notes of the ones i like.
-The Strangers- The movie for the most part was kinda of 'meh', but it had some really awesome parts where it made me say "OMG WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!?" Thing is in most horror movies you have the 'jump scenes' where whatever the enemy is jumps out. This is different, this is more of the you see something fluttering in the distance and you slowly start to make it out and see what it is.
I have to disagree about the Dawn of the Dead remake. I thought it was awesome, the visuals were spot on, I enjoyed the characters, no stupid one-liners, I thought it was a great movie all around and I like it just as much as the original.
I'll post more when I think about them.
So hard.
jaws
dawn of the dead remake
the wicker man
carrie
psycho
the birds
you guys already listed most of the good ones. tons of good films mentioned, but i'll second the mist(very surprisingly good) and in the mouth of madness(lesser known, carpenter is hit or miss for me but this one was awesome)
also session 9 wasn't that great (and i used to live down the street from danvers state)
No and yes. Seconded.
I worked mid-shift for three months after I saw that film and one of my duties was to go around and make sure all the doors were locked in a multi warehouse building with many deserted offices.
That was a shitty, scary three months because I kept expecting to see that dark haired pasty little girl around every corner. No other scary movie has affected me in this way except for an old made for TV movie called The Trilogy of Terror. I am sure if I watched it today it wouldn't scare me half as much it did when I was 10.
edit: This is another that might do the trick http://www.hightensionmovie.com/
It's called High Tension...
No, I gave Suspiria a fair chance in a regular state of mind. It has an interesting story behind it (the original script called for all the actresses being children, thus why the characters act like such little idiots but it was considered too queasy for its own good), but it's so technically shoddily made (aside from the color, but it serves to detract from the horror). It definitely doesn't fit the OP's desire to actually scary films.
Also Steven Kings IT is a great watch. And then there is the Invasion of the Body Snatchers - the best one is the first remake http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077745/
wait, which Wicker Man
because the remake is definitely a comedy
not a horror-comedy, just straight up comedy
