Looking for smarter, Session 9 style horror
Hi guys
I think that as I'm getting older, my taste in horror is changing. Used to love the Nightmares, Halloweens, Friday the 13ths, Phantasms, etc, etc and have all the box sets, but now that I'm 30 they just don't scare me like they used to. I'm finding it really hard to find a good, scary (not just gorey) horror flick these days, so thought I'd turn to you all for advice. Flicks from the last few years that I enjoyed include: Session 9 - possibly my new fave! Frailty Day of the Dead remake The Ring remake The Grudge remake (please don't skewer me for enjoying these remakes!) Wolf Creek - not overwhelmingly impressed, but didn't mind it High Tension Blair Witch - ok, it was ages ago, but I really enjoyed it the first time round I've just ordered The Hills have Eyes remake, but need some good, meaty, scary stuff. Session 9 totally freaks me out every time I watch it, so would like some recommendations in that vein. Hope you all can help - I've got a credit card just waiting to burn through Amazon.com!

he probably meant dawn of the dead, but whatever...
it seems like you like psychological horror. its not a new movie, but candyman has a nice blend of psychological and slasher horror genre. also the soundtract in the movie (by phillip glass) gives it an erie/morbid fell throughout. i'd also recomend the remake of the omen.

If you like Session 9 you have to see The Shining (Kubrick's film) and if you wanted more psychological horror try Jacob's Ladder.
