    This has probably been done before but trying to put a new slant on it. What ur horror films and why. You need to select a horror film for jumps and a horror film for pure terror (pyschological etc)

    I'll start:

    1 (jumps): halloween
    2 (Terror): exorcist

    1: White Noise (unpredictable screams)
    2: What Lies Beneath (winding and unpredictable plot, and manifestations)

    Gah, I hate the "jumps" type of horror film. It's a cheap, cheap scare.

    I think for a mind-crushing sense of dread and inescapable doom you'd have to say Cube.

    Yep... I'm really not a big fan of the "OMFG! Oh wait, it's just a cat!" films.

    For best horror films I would go with Ring(the Japanese version of course) I saw this years ago before any of the hype and didn't know anything about it the time, and I found it be very fresh with a wonderful sense of dread throughout. It's been emulated to death nowadays though.

    And the Shining is simply the most unsettling and distrubing horror film you'll ever see.
