I don't watch horror, but if you just want a real movie that is just scary De Niro in Cape Fear is the one that always sticks with me.
There's one somewhat common peice of classical music used in the film that takes me right back the tension I felt watching this one every time I hear it. I guess some of the scare from this movie never went away.
"Robert De Niro is one of those actors that just melts into a role. His performance as rapist, convict, and all-around not-a-very-nice fellow Max Cady is certainly one of his most memorable performances for its stamina, strength, and excessiveness. The film by Martin Scorsece is a remake of the classic film starring Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck. Although Scorsece keeps the spirit of the film intact, he does make some very modern changes. He changes the role of Sam Bowden and family from one of harmony to dysfunction. No character is the epitome of a universal good, but rather flawed(very flawed) goodness. Nick Nolte does a fine job as Bowden and Jessica Lange and Juliette Lewis both give deep, emotional performances. The film is really a sea of emotion...most of that emotion being fear. Scorsece adds some arty touches with the camera, but it is his gritty style that really dominates the film's impact. Scorsece also is ever the protector of film as he gives cameos to Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, and Martin Balsam(all in the original film). The other acting standout goes to Joe Don Baker as a hired private investigator. But make no mistake....this is De Niro's film all the way. He has some of the best lines as he harasses the Bowden family, terrorizes the Bowden family, and strips the Bowden family of all civility, pretense, and dignity. This film is definitely a keeper!"
('There's also the original 1962 version too, a classic apparently, that I have yet to check out. Maybe I will now...)

Audition ( Ôdishon ) -- Directed by
Takashi Miike -- Rod Zombie says this is probably the mosr disturbing film he's ever seen.
The Last House on the Left -- Directed by
Wes Craven -- A classic 70s horror, closer to The Hills Have Eyes than any "Slasher" flick.

William Friedkin -- Another classic

The two scariest films I have seen recently are Hostel and The Hills Have Eyes.
Or go for a classic like Nightmare on Elm Street!
Good luck.

Try and get hold of some old Hammer stuff. It's not exactly terrifying (well not even really that scary at all) but they make great Friday night movies. You know, the kind they used to put on at about midnight before all these stupid bloody quizes came on. Anyway, I'm ranting so I shall leave.................
