Group of friends travel to an isolated cabin deep within the woods, while there they discover a cellar which is full of old creepy objects and books, one of the group's members reads a passage from one of the books unknowingly releasing a family of killer zombies.
I loved The Cabin in the Woods, I wasn't too sure about it to begin with, however after giving it a chance it turned out to be one of my favorite ever horror films. I was just expecting some run of the mill predictable teen horror movie, however I was completely wrong. The Cabin in the Woods is funny, original, very surprising and incredibly entertaining.

After what appears to be just a short lightning storm a mist begins to engulf the small town, at first the town's population believe the fog is a result of experiments from the nearby military base, however something evil lives within the mist.
I love films that create a feeling of isolation and The Mist is one of the best examples of that, it's incredibly engrossing and very atmospheric and I was completely hooked after the first few minutes. I have enjoyed much of the work of Steven King but this is him at his best. Many people criticize the ending which is fair enough, and while the fathers actions may have been in hast, I did find the ending disturbing, unexpected and also memorable.

Shortly after their son Dalton falls into a coma, his mother begins to hear strange voices and see ghostly figures. After the doctors are unable to determine what is wrong with Dalton, his parents seek another type of specialist to help their son.
Insidious is here because I found it to be one of the scariest and creepiest movies that I have ever seen. The scene in the bed room, with the demon standing next to the bed pointing at the child is probably the creepiest things I have seen in a horror movie. There are some great shock scares happening throughout the movie, however it's the psychological tension building that really gave me chills.

Two men wake up chained with a dead body lying in the middle of the room, they must follow certain rules and undertake certain challenges to keep them and their families alive.
I was hooked from the very start, great tension and atmosphere and very mysterious that keeps the viewer guessing. Good original idea with good acting, overall a very solid movie with some nice twists and turns, plus some nice gore to top it off, intelligent horror with a great horror villain.

A meteorite crashes near a small town, one of the towns folk find the crash site but he is then infected by some kind of parasite which mutates him, the parasite aims to infect and take over the entire town.
Slither is a great horror/science fiction/comedy which is highly entertaining, it has borrowed elements from classic horror movies like The Thing, Invasion of the Body Snatches and various zombie movies but it adds its own uniqueness to them. Slither is great fun, it has a great cast, good solid special effects if somewhat a little disgusting at times.

When a young couple move into a new home, shortly after moving in strange and unexplained things begin to happen. In the beginning the unexplained activity is minor however as the days pass the paranormal activity becomes more serious.
I was in the cinema when I first started watching Paranormal Activity, and as it began not realizing that it was a first person camera style movie I almost walked out, not being much of a fan of that style of movie. However I decided to stay and I am glad that I did because Paranormal Activity turned out to be one of the scariest movies that I have ever seen. Paranormal Activity is such a basic movie, yet I was completely engrossed and it gave me chills like no movie had done before, It surprised me and I found it very entertaining.

A family are traveling through what is thought to be an uninhabited area of America that was once used by the government for nuclear testing. During their journey their camper van breaks down, it turns out there are people living in the area after all, and they have brutal intentions.
A great remake and better than the original 1977 movie in my opinion, one of the most tense and brutal movies that I have ever seen, there are actually a couple of the scenes that were difficult to watch, I remember turning my head away while watching it in the cinema. It also provides a great revenge story and a very satisfying ending.

Passing though Texas a group of friends get stalked and murdered by a deformed killer, the survivors have to fight for their lives.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake is a definite favorite of mine, very atmospheric with some nice tension building moments. It includes a good cast, good solid acting with brutal and graphic murders, for me this is better than the original.

An ex cop (Ben) starts working as a night watch man in a department store which was partly damaged by a fire. During his patrols he comes across a large and strangely undamaged mirror, while looking into the mirror (Ben) begins to see disturbing images in the reflection.
Mirrors may not be an original idea with many of the scenes being done before or something very similar. Despite the fact that we have seen similar style movies before about mirrors, I think Mirrors does a better job of recreating those scenes with better tension and definitely better effects. I found Mirrors to be scary with decent and not over used special effects with good tension and atmosphere, definitely a favorite recent horror movie.

Three young American back backers travel to Slovakia because they hear the local girls love Americans, however it's all too good to be true as they soon discover.
Hostel is a very brutal and cruel movie showing the worst in humanity and actually being believable at the same time, which I think makes this even more disturbing. Hostel is very entertaining and engrossing, I hadn't seen anything like this before and it also has a nice revenge story which provided a good satisfying ending.

An American nurse is living and working in Japan, she is given the job of looking after a mentally disturbed women, she soon discovers that there is something evil inhabiting the house.
The plot is very simple it's not hard to follow and certainly not mentally taxing. However The Grudge has a very creepy atmosphere throughout, it has a similar feel to the remake of The Ring, however in my opinion The Grudge has more tension and it's scarier overall. The Grudge doesn't have much reply value but as a first time viewing it's one of the scariest movies I have seen.
