i agree its rare that a horror film actually scares me, maybe because it i know its fake or something.
'i spit on your grave' and 'cannibal holocaust' - these films are not scary as such, but really uncomfotable to watch!
'night of the living dead' (origional & 1987 remake) - actually prefer the remake, not scary though, just a good film.
'dawn of the dead' (origional) - again not scary, but a good film
'ring' (japanese origional) - probably the second most scary film i have seen, but there was loads of rip offs afterwards 'dark water' & 'the grudge' being two, which have practically the same story line.
evil dead trilogy - these are just 'groovy'
'zombie flesh eaters' - just a good zombie film
'junk' and 'wild zero' - cool and kinda bizarre japanese zombie films
'cube' - dunno if this qualifies as actual horror, kinda sci-fi too - has loadsa good talking pionts after :(
'event horizon' - pretty scary, definately gives me the creeps at times. Sam Neil
'texas chainsaw massacre' - scariest film ever, its so intense the first time you see it. kinda loses something if you watch it again, because you know waht happens
'tremors' - not scary at all, but one of the funniest schlock horror films of all times, awesome.
'house of a 1000 corpses' - weird and wonderful, some cool characters, shots and random things. bit of a texas chainsaw massarce though.
that'll do for now.
