Scary Films?

Hi

Looking for some recommendations on Scary Films.

I haven`t seen a decent scary film in ages, in fact the last film that i watched that scared the s*** out of me was blair witch.
(i know some will think this wasn`t scary at all but it certainly got to me!!)

Can anyone recommend some other good scary/horror films that are worth watching for the "chill factor".

John Carpenter`s "The Thing"

It utterly scared the sh*t out of me when I first saw it and still gets to me to some extent. Its also a brilliant film in all respects, so definately worth looking into.

The DVD is damn good too.

Aye.

I would suggest The Haunting but the original isn`t available except as VHS, then theres The Changeling another haunted house film thats available on DVD region 1. As you liked Blair witch try The last broadcast which came out at the same time and is similar in style but with a definite rather than vague ending.
Audition is scarier than Ring/Ring 2, ugh the needles , yerk the cheese wire :(

Classics are The thing, Alien, Westworld, Terminator, The Shining, It, Salem`s Lot, Rosemary`s Baby, Angelheart.
The only recent film which had me on the edge of my seat is Cube. Very imaginative and tense.

Blair Witch (come on the end must have freaked you out even if it is a rip off of Man Bites Dog)
Omen
Exorcist
and any time that Keanu Reeves has to attempt an English accent

Can`t think of any other truly scary / disturbing films (I`m not counting ones that just make you jump)
