I just remembered a neat little flick from some time ago called "the ruins"... Not bad at all...

Any horror fanatics in the house?

Yeah, I looked it up. Doesn't look like my type of thing.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Oh, Vacancy!!
That movie was good. It never got much attention, but I thought it should have. Has anyone seen it?

And "The Descent." And "Last House on the Left."
Can't believe I forgot those 3!

The scariest movie I've watched recently was Occulus. It's on netflix streaming right now. The film is a mind fuck with a lot of scenes that make you jump. Highly recommend it.

King of the Ants has a protracted and very ineptly carried out murder, brutal torture scenes involving beating someone in the head with a golf club to cause severe brain damage, a man being burned alive, a decapitation (might have already been dead), a man being struck in the back and rendered paralyzed, an accidental death of about the only female character, a house allowed to fill with gas and explode with (IIRC) 2 incapacitated men inside, and a very disturbing hallucination scene where a demon (representing the lead character) eats its own feces.
Extremely violent revenge flick, not sure it's strictly a horror title, but it is one grim slog watching it all the way through. I highly recommend it, but recall, I really like off beat movies, and this one is a doozy. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
Most horror films are - no offense - contrived and rather stupid (exceptions are rare, but include 'Psycho' and 'Schindler's List').
For horror fiction, I'm of the unshakeable conviction that Harlan Ellison is the best in the field. Boru

There are quite a few good ones that utilize mirrors, but Oculus is probably the most screwed up of them all.
