the grudge was more of a comedy than a scary movie, to me, but not many movies really scare me, but go with the classics. steven kings many masterpieces. i personally love the older movies. carrie rox! the bad seed is the best movie ever created with its bad, overdramatic acting, and sweet innocent roadah (my IDOL lol.) anything hitchcock is wonderful.
i just watched steven king's IT and LOVED it. THE SHINING, rosemary's baby, the sixth sense, the exorcist (the prequil sucked though), phyco, the birds, the skelloton key & a bunch more that i can't think of at the moment.
the village is the worst excuse for a scary movie ever.

Depends on what type of horror you like. Seeing as how you liked "The Grudge" you most likely would enjoy other japanese horror flicks such as "Ringu" or its american form "The Ring". If you are looking to get out of that type of typecast there is also the "shadow" killer type movies such as "Friday the 13th", "Halloween", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and my personal fav "Nightmare on Elm Street." More demon/hell type horror movies would be "The Omen", "The Exorcist", "The Exorcism of Emily Rose", "The Amityville Horror" and "Rosemary's Baby". You could also check out some classics, such as "Psycho", "The Fly", "The Birds", and "House of Wax". Or some newer fun/scary movies such as "I Know What You Did Last Summer", "Scream", "Final Destination", and "Resident Evil". If you would like to go by great horror movie directors I would check out Wes Craven, John Carpenter, Alfred Hitchcock, and M Night Shamaylan. They can all be loads of fun. Hope this helps ya!!

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.

You should definately check out the original versions of all these American remakes of Japanese movies, like the Ring, Grudge, Eye, Dark Waters...
A little known movie that totally freaked me out was Session 9-you should really check it out. Lots of that creepy old house feeling.

I think "The Eye" is a pretty scary movie. It's a Japanese movie but it has subtitles. I was freaked out for a few days after that movie.

The ULTIMATE horror movie is The Exorcist. The Ring was pretty good too.
