I would say, currently, Hostel and Wolf Creek, both, absolutely, horrible!

The 90's you say... I know John Carpenter's Vampires doesn't qualify as horror but you might like to see it. Modern "horror"...maybe Bug if you consider it horror (I don't)...but I just watched that so that's what I can remember. The grudge is 90's I believe. Or you could watch the Japanese originals which are much better except you'll have to get used to subtitles. Ooooh...you know what you should see...battle royale and possibly versus. Great pseudo-horror movies from the 90s (I believe). But they're Japanese.

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.

Most of the best horror movies are now out on DVD, including "Phantasm IV", "Halloween", "Wishmaster", etc. If you mean RECENTLY out on DVD, then pick up "The Hills Have Eyes" or one of the "Masters of Horror" mini-movies.
