We've watched basically everything that's come out in the last year or so and I've been trying to go back in the history books for some other good ones.
Problem is, she doesn't like anything that looks too dated. So what movies would you guys recommend on this side of the turn of the century?
Thus far we've watched The Strangers, Orphan, The Conjuring, Insidious, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), Sinister, The Descent and we're planning to watch The Skeleton Key soon.
I debated on Hostel and Wrong Turn but she doesn't like the gory stuff too much. For that, she's not much into zombies flicks either so I'm holding off on Dawn of the Dead remake and 28 Days/Weeks Later.
Any other suggestions?
The Descent kicks so much ass. Love that film!
I'll suggest some french horror films for ya (if you don't mind subtitles that is)
Martyrs

So It Comes At Night was a massive rip off . Literally was NOT a horror film at all. Not completely terrible by any means but I was expecting it to be scary (based off the trailers) . Oh well. [Reply]

Yeah, we just watched this last Sunday night. What a complete waste of time it was.
Just finished watching Creepshow 2 a few nights ago. It's been a while since I've seen that. Not really a big fan. The original Creepshow is perhaps the finest horror anthology ever made. Also watched House, I watch it every once in a while, very nostalgic for me. Personally, I'm a sucker for the early Carpenter flicks. The Fog, Halloween and The Thing all rank way up there for me.

The original Creepshow was awesome - especially the crate sequence. Scariest scene of any of the films I've seen in the theater. [Reply]

I used to love House, although haven't seen it in forever. Also 976-Evil was one of my faves as a kid. [Reply]

I love House and House 2. Though 2 is less of a horror movie. [Reply]

Spoiler!
Nothing comes at night you ****ing pricks.
HAHAHAHA!
I was telling my wife this EXACT SAME THING!
she went to bed....wouldn't watch it 'cause she was scurred.
I was actually very much looking forward to seeing it! in the previews the guy has his shotgun and the dog runs ahead of him into the woods....UH OH....it's night.....it must be COMING! :-)
I've never felt like I was totally Charlie Browned over a movie....until this one! [Reply]

I thought Drag Me to Hell was horrible so I'll probably hold off or pass altogether on that one. It Follows was good, though. She's seen Saw. I'll add the others to the list of potentials.
REC is also good but that's more of a zombie film than anything so I'll hold off on that for now.
We've actually seen more than I previously listed, by the way. Some more are coming to me now. We watched As Above So Below, Devil, and The Babadook.
This is something I'd like to do. Drive in movies are a historic relic I'm glad this one is still around. An all nighter of horror movies how cool is that?
