Watch Pontypool. One of the better modern horror movies I've seen. Edge of your seat kinda horror.

Yeah I liked that, very interesting, original movie.

I have the boxsets too, awesome.

The two you mention are great... LOVED Cigarette Burns too... creepy...Haeckel's Tale was good, Family was good, Incident on and off Mountain Road.

Some really good episodes.

My problem with modern horror movies is that they leave nothing to the imagination. I don't want to be grossed out, I wanna be creeped out.

I'm 38 and have been watching horror movies since the early 80's
My problem is I've seen it all so I need to take it up a notch in order to be scared. Some times the gross out stuff will put me on edge because it's so real looking and reminds me how fragile we are.
Unless we're talking about August Underground. Now THAT is nothing but gore porn. Simulated snuff with no storyline at all.
If you wanna feel dirty after watching a movie - August Underground is the way to go.

Best found footages movies i've seen lately:

Evidence (2012):Ryan is making a documentary on his friend, Brett, about camping for the first time. However, once they begin camping, they discover that there is a mysterious figure that is hunting them. **The ending is intense www.imdb.com...

Unaware (2010):In July 2010, a vacationing couple discovered something disturbing on a ranch in rural Texas. Armed with a home camcorder, they captured their experience on video. **Never trust cops
www.imdb.com...

Grave Encounters (2011):For their ghost hunting reality show, a production crew locks themselves inside an abandoned mental hospital that's supposedly haunted - and it might prove to be all too true. ** OoohOooh
www.imdb.com...

The conspiracy:A documentary about conspiracy theories takes a horrific turn after the filmmakers uncover an ancient and dangerous secret society. **Now that's freaky !
www.imdb.com...

The Tunnel (2011):An investigation into a government cover-up leads to a network of abandoned train tunnels deep beneath the heart of Sydney. The journalist and her crew hunt for the story it becomes clear the story is hunting them. ** Sidney by the sewer

Some really good episodes.

cigarette burns was great. on and off a mountain road was moonface right?

some of those episodes seem a bit campy...they way the girl was running from moonface and seemed to have an hour in the woods to construct a trap type deal...aside from that they were great. i think those types of movies are supposed to be a bit campy.

imprint was not campy. loved it. its funny that it was the only one that they didnt air in the states cause it was too much.

jennifer bugged me out a bit. not grossed out disgusted or scared. dont even have a word for it....bugged i guess.

i was reading about that episode...i guess the dude who wrote it(the cop that found jennifer is the one who wrote it) developed it from a short story from some pulp magazine. thought that was cool.
a lot of the episodes i have not watched yet.

i like the horror genre but i am a bit snobbish about it i guess.
i am never scared. dont see how a movie can be scary. i dont like gore just for the sake of it or for shock value.
im not into movies like a serbian film.....

decent horror flicks though. big fan.

the masters of horror type stuff.
i iike the saw series a lot too.

Pontypool is an excellent movie and I believe it's still on Netflix.

Let me add a few to the list:

Event Horizon (1997)
In the Mouth of Madness (1994)
Feast (2005)
Splinter (2008)
Cabin Fever (2002)
The Ruins (2008)
High Tension (2003)
The Brood (1979)
Evil Dead (1981) - the 2013 "remake" (it's not really a straight remake) is also good.
Night of the Demons (1988) - the remake from 2009 is meh.
Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (1995)

Splinter was great... really liked that one, creepy, fairly original.

have you seen 'pelts' or 'right to die' from the masters of horror?
i have them but have not watched them. i think those sound cool

I watched every episode a couple of years ago over the course of a few weeks.
Pelts was cool, Meatloaf is in it.. pretty good.

Right to die was decent enough.

To be fair I liked most of them, there were one or two that were lame or silly but I enjoyed most of them.

Because you said you were snobbish about horror, didn't like gore for gore sake... but like the Saw series?
About as torture porn, pointless gore as you can get (excluding the first one)

I love the horror genre, its like the comedy genre for me. I'm kind of disappointed in the horror genre lately though, not much good as come from it, but if anyone hasn't seen You're Next, you should, it's an interesting take on the genre, not really horror, but slasher movie. For the person that said Cabin in the woods, a hi five to you, that movie, was cool... Anyway, I recommend the always classic Last House On The Left, and a pretty good movie most may not have seen, and that is Kolobos.

It is in a bit of a state but there's usually a movie that comes along and gives you hope again.
I've yet to see "You're Next" but heard it's pretty good.

Will seek it out.

Very true, but most times good ones seem pretty few and far between. Went to see Annabelle, last night, and the best part of the movie for me was seeing Bra'tac get some work.

Yeah I don't have any interest in Annabelle, just looks cheesy and derivative.
But yeah, that is one creepy dude!!

i liked wrong turn too. its several years old.
of course the studio ran with it though.

i was looking at the top 100 on the tracker this morning and i saw wrong turn 6...

trying to cash in

Satan's Little Helper has to be my favorite. I find myself laughing at pretty much all 'horror' movies, so one that does it intentionally is right up my alley. I find the really scary movies to be ones like Idiocracy, and even documentaries.

The Hostel

That movie freaks me out so bad and the thought of places like that existing is horrible
