Nou, that other thread was about scariest movie moments, not entire movies. Anyways, you have a great point about "believeability". There is something to be said about a horror movie that is terrifying not only in scenes, but if it can make the viewer believe this could happen to them.

Examples:
Jaws (Scary at its time)
Blair Witch Project and Open Water
Saw (to some extent, although the tortures seem a little too extravegent)

Blair Witch Project was an excellent concept with piss poor follow through. The final scene when the girl enters the house, however, is just downright creepy.

Brian from Family Guy: Okay, they're - they're in the woods. The camera keeps on moving. Uh...I think they're looking for some witch or something; I don't know, I wasn't listening. Nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. Something about a map. Nothing's happening. It's over. A lot of people in the audience look pissed.

about the best summary of that movie

Ringu is not scary at all. The american remake is far scarier.

Anyway the creepiest movie I've ever seen is probably Onibaba

Blair Witch Project
Mothman Prophecies
Below
House Of 1000 Corpses (not scary, just fucking bizarre )

The Blair Witch Project.

I was genuinly scared watching this film

The House Of 1000 Corpses is quite good, far from scary but quite freaky at times.

that forest sucks. Gimme the Pine Barrens *cries like a wolf*

American horror films have for the most part become very shallow, although some have good story lines. Character development has been scraped, and anxiety really isn't present, just shocking scenes and jup-out at you moments. Let's all thank Wes Craven. These scares are good, and movies in the opposite side of the horror movie spectrum sometimes need more of them (The Shinning), but the best movies are often a balance of depth, shock, and anxiety. The Sixth Sense did this very well.

'Halloween' has always been the scariest movie for me.

That emotionless Shatner mask just scares the crap out of me. Combine that with the whole silent, unstoppable, psychotic killer theme and....yeah, scary.

i laughed at that movie more than i was scared.

I don't know what it was about the Exorcist, but I just wasn't that scared. I could see how it would be terrifying in its time, but most of the people that I have watched it with have just been bored. Once again, todays horror audience wants more scares less story.

one of the scariest i've seen is Even Horizon. something about that movie always freaked me out.

looking forward to The Excorcism of Emily Rose: Based on a True Story zomg!!!
