Aye,
The Thing (1982) - NOT the reboot/remake/prequel sequel/shitty crappy stupid one.
May (2002)
Cabin in the Woods (2011)
Alien (1979) - watching Prometheus made me realize how uniquely good the original is.

The first time I watched this movie after a social event involving lots of absinthe.Sonicron said:
The nightmares this combination gave me made me wake up believing I was raving mad. Slow burner, heavy hitter methinks.
As for Silent Hill - resounding meh. The emotions I had while playing the first game for the first time were much more impressive than what I experienced watching that movie. The game just came out of nowhere and had us spooked and gasping at every n-th corner. I'm glad the movie isn't total Bollcrap, but it's still not what Silent Hill deserves.
I'll second The Shining and am disgusted that it's only been mentioned once so far.
The Orphanage/El Orfanato - it's got a couple of jump scares to keep the plebs' attention but the rest is supernatural tension-building and descent into distraction and madness. The final reveal is soul destroying.
Captcha: yes, sir
Yes sir!

Seriously though, even the creator seems to think it's one;

The film is quite horrific, Del Toro has a history of horror films behind him, why is Pan's Labyrinth different? Is it because it doesn't rely on a lot of horror clichés? Bit hard to debate here though, I don't want to give too much away to anyone who hasn't seen it.
Aye. While I don't fancy some of the more two-dimensional bits and pieces and characters in it, I think it's a valid effort and a reasonably good movie.GoaThief said:
I actually like the two very different forms of violence and horror served in this one. Beats the Freddy Kruegers/Mike Myers and their army of clones in the media world, the only thing I don't like about the movie is how lopsided its description of the political state of the world was at a very specific point in time. So, yes, even I remember one half of its reality far more vividly than the other, and that other, neglected and oft-forgotten half of the story always hits me straight in the face and makes me feel uncomfortable and physically sick.
As a horror movie, it's a double cream, double whopper, double whammy gut punch. Some of the visuals are unique and superb.
The Mist (NOT to be confused with The Fog)
The Ruins
Poltergeist
Amityville Horror (original)
The Others
The Innocents
The Innkeepers
Jacob's Ladder
Cloverfield (not a horror but you did list Jurassic Park)

I recommend some 70's horror movies. i found a lot of the movies that started today's trend to be far better at it. Most horror movies today are just uncreative repeats with little effort put in.
Hell try the first Nightmare on Elm Street or Amityville Horror, they are way better than the newest cashcow-remakes that have come out recently.

Alrighty, listen hear. This movie is in the horror genre and it's damn good.
The Cabin in the Woods
The less you know about it the better...
