REC, The Conjuring and The Descent are all pretty decent. If you want a kickass, fun action horror film the Resident Evil series is great. However, when I think of my favorites I think of Alien, Cabin in the Woods, It Follows, Evil Dead 2, Cloverfield and I Am Legend. All of those are well written, well shot, have great concepts and some genuinely fucking scary moments. Except for Cabin and ED2. Those two are just awesome and have no particularly scary moments.
EDIT: Almost forgot to mention the first Silent Hill film! I love that movie to bits. It may not be the scariest thing in the world but it's a damn faithful adaptation of the game and it's CGI and costume design stills holds up very well today. The story is at least coherent and it's a great homage to Silent Hill. Just... don't watch Revelations...
When I was younger I saw the ending of this movie and it scarred me for five years. The ending was just so fucking scary. I literally started crying and I refused to sleep in my room by myself. But I got over it thankfully
I watched it several years ago, but I did actually enjoy "Mama" quite a lot. I was about 12 when I watched it and it scared the shit out of me, but I thought the ending was great and it had a pretty cool plot.
My aunt is a horror movie junkie, and I was sharing a room with her at the time, so we watched a ton of other cool movies that I don't know the name of.
I actually saw The Babadook about a year ago, and I must say that it's by far the creepiest movie I've ever seen. I generally don't find most horror movies 'scary' in any way, but Babadook does it right!
The Babadook was the first time in a long time where I've been creeped out by a horror movie. It's definitely one of my favorites.
Cabin In The Woods is also a top contender for me. As is Let The Right One In and it's Hollywood remake.
I love this genre. I've watched many horror movies and speaking from experience it's hard to find anything that isn't cheap shit comedy or pure idiotic gore.
I enjoy the most of all those "psychologic", "atmospheric" ones:
Evidence (I highly recommend it if you haven't watched)
The director was mental he got a porn star to play a sex double of the man then asked the female ACTRESS to give him a real blowjob WTF she refused so he got a porn actress in I think all the sex is real in this film.
A film unlike any other. Lars Von Trier's Antichrist is one of my all time favorite contemporary films.
One of the most deeply distur… morebing and moving movies I've ever seen, only featuring two actors for virtually the entire movie (save one scene in which a toddler is cast in the prologue sequence).
A complex film about grief, misery, and sexual horror the likes of which left many viewers shocked and angered. Yet it's also an artfully constructed movie written by von Trier while he was hospitalized after a traumatic depressive episode.
I love his films though, he also made that film in which that same actress finally must have gave into him cause she had an actually pecker in her mouth on a scene.

I have to say that Don't Breath was actually a quality horror/suspense movie. I wasn't* expecting very much, but was thoroughly impressed. It had me on edge for a great deal of the time.
Trick R Treat is the only modern horror movie that I really enjoyed and knew it would be a cult classic as soon as I saw it. My opinion hasn't changed. Great Halloween flick.
It is, and Von Trier is a strange man.

Yeah it really captured the Halloween spirit for me. I tend to prefer horror movies that are scary when they need to be and otherwise feel like normal movies that aren't constantly trying too hard and I think Trick R Treat does that pretty well too. Probably why Carrie is my favourite horror movie.

The poster for Wrong Turn looks like a 2016 meme.
YES, THIS. this movie is fucking awesome. i love 2 too. 3 was shit.

I've actually never watched a horror movie.

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter gets me.
Final Destination, it's the film that made me a Horror genre fan!
Halloween (1978)
I didn't like that movie.
The director was mental he got a porn star to play a sex double of the man then asked the female ACTRESS to give him a real blowjob WTF she refused so he got a porn actress in I think all the sex is real in this film.
I did.
Carrie (the 1976 version)
Halloween
Orphan
Trick R Treat
Silent Hill
It is, and Von Trier is a strange man.

Classic in my eyes, but to each their own.

Didn't Lars Von Trier also make the Nymphomaniac movies? Because that would explain the actual unsimulated sex.
Yup.

The Original Alien...especially if you turn out the lights...love that movie.
Mama
I love that movie but it wasn't that scary to me. Alien Isolation is the one who did a better job and it still gives me nightmares.
Not so much Horror, well I'm not sure but American Psycho and followed closely by The 'Shinning'.
And also cos its a meme factory.
There are others I want to see.
No way
Yes, it's so bad it's scary.
It's so bad it's good.
Nah, just bad.
Nah, just funny
Get Out (2017) and Night of the Living Dead.
Deliverance
