    Also, I was looking for movies done 2012 onwards, but if there's any other "modern" I should know about do let me know. I just recalled "The Descent", remembering the times around 28 Weeks Later. It was really good.

    Wow! I just looked up "The Crazies", the premise looks great!

    Pan's Labyrinth (the best and only spanish movie I have seen) not sure if modern enough though http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan's_Labyrinth
    The Host (korean horror film,) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Host_(2006_film)

    and, maybe stretching it but, if this counts as a horror film, Les femmes de l'ombre (Women of the Shadows, I think). Second World War, about a group of french women who are ditched to France from London to help fight against Hitler. (I couldn't find it on Wikipedia!!!)

    ...too old movies?

    Pan's Labyrinth isn't scary, though. As much as it was an outstanding movie from my family's homeland, I can't consider any of Del Toro's films true horror. :/ The Host... Never read the book, haven't seen the film. Will do if you recommend it! And the French one... Are you sure that's horror and not some Sci-Fi? xD

    Spanish civil war = horror! But yeah, it's not THAT scary.

    Sci-fi? It's WW2! :D
    A little creepy and sad movie at some points, but touching and quite well made.

    Oculus - Trailer looks good.... And it has the actor who was 'Amy Pond' in the Dr. Who Series :p

    Great trailer! Though the CGI looks kind of bad... Still, I'll watch it. :)

    Dude, that's sooo 90's. Modern horror flicks go as follows:

    -Some random person starts recording his life
    -We watch totally normal moments of every-day life for an hour or so
    -Something moves on video, people freak out, but still live their normal lives
    -Things keep happening, but at snail pace and they're not truly scary
    -A five-minute climax, shaky cam, CGI ghost, final cut
  10. Well im not wrong...
