We are wanting to watch a good horror movie, a recent one if possible, and nothing too stupid. We don't mind scary but don't want something that is overly gory, What are some good horror, or just some good scary movies?
Thanks

Just go to Hollywood videos or Blockbusters-look at all the covers of the latest videos...that way you can decide whether or not it's too gory or even scary at all...sometimes those budget ones have a decent story and good effects...and could really make you want to grab onto the person next to you.I would prefer Saw part one & two...but that may be a bit too gory 4 u...some of those foreign ones-dubbed in english are pretty freakin scary!

My top 10 favorite horror films:
1. Nosferatu (1922): F.W. Murnau's classic adaptation of Dracula was one of the leading and most influential films in the German Expressionist movment.
2. Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919): Robert Wiene's hypnotic masterpiece is a cinematic landmark of the silent era, and is the film that ushered in the German Expressionist movement, paving the way for films such as Der Golem, Nosferatu, and Metropolis.
3. The Exorcist (1973): William Friedkin's shocking chiller is a film with one sententious layer of meaning after another, addressing such broad concepts as loss of innocence (the intriguing suggestion that Regan's turmoil is punishment for her burgeoning sexuality--a theme of many slasher flicks to come), the true nature of faith, and class politics.
4. Bride of Frankenstein (1935): The wildest and most audacious of James Whale's 1930s horror movies, Bride of Frankenstein is brimming with subtle self-parody, and it offered Whale the opportunity to mock the clichés of horror films, along with amusing sideswipes at Hollywood romances, historical dramas, and even Christianity.
5. The Shining (1980): Stanley Kubrick's eerie adaptation of Stephen King's novel is at once a coolly ironic near-parody and a genuinely chilling dissection of how a family breaks down when the father cannot (or does not want to) perform his duties as provider and protector.
6. Vampyr (1931): Carl Dreyer's surreal, disjointed and dreamlike semi-silent film which offers striking imagery and a deeply compelling mood.
7. Rosemary's Baby (1968): Roman Polanski's traditional gothic horror film, which is set with suprising ease in New York City, features apocalyptic yet darkly comic paranoia about the hallowed institution of childbirth.
8. Frankenstein (1931): James Whale's Frankenstein is widely considered to be the definitive version of Mary Shelley's classic tale, and it also created much of the cinematic language of horror films.
9. I Walked With a Zombie (1943) and 10. Cat People (1942): Though the earlier Universal horror films of James Whale and Tod Browning are better known, RKO's smaller-budgeted horror pictures produced by Val Lewton have had a more lasting impact on American cinema. Directed by Jacques Tourneur, I Walked With a Zombie and Cat People are purely cinematic in building suspense through atmosphere, and each has a remarkably rich and evocative visual style.

Try "The Shining" (1980) with Jack Nicholson, directed by Stanley Kubrick--relentlessly weird and intense, or "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992) with Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder, directed by Francis Ford Coppola--my favorite Dracula movie, visually gorgeous and sinister version of the myth!

Stephen King's Storm of the Century is a good horror movie.

if you can find it, the terrific Korean film A Tale of Two Sisters is one of the best I have seen lately. There is also a good "chick" werewolf flick (just okay special effects, but an excellent darkly funny script) called Ginger Snaps which is very cool. Both of these have a fair amount of blood in them.
don't overlook the oldies, there are some good ones.

Not too recent, but right on as far as the rest is "Ghost Story", based on the novel by Peter Straub. Outstanding performances by Fred Astaire and John Houseman.
