- DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsNaomi WattsMartin HendersonBrian CoxA journalist must investigate a mysterious videotape which seems to cause the death of anyone one week to the day after they view it.I think this movie is what all other horror flicks should strive for. It sets a very dark atmosphere from the very beginning and does a brilliant job at delivering hopelessness throughout its entire duration. It never reveals too much, as so many films nowadays do. I highly recommend this movie to any one with intelligence and an imagination.
- DirectorTakashi ShimizuStarsSarah Michelle GellarJason BehrClea DuVallAn American nurse living and working in Tokyo is exposed to a mysterious supernatural curse, one that locks a person in a powerful rage before claiming their life and spreading to another victim.The Grudge is the American remake of the Japanese horror film.One of the scariest movies I've seen in a while. I would not recommend young children to watch it late at night though. It could give them nightmares.It was very well done I think, the ghost scenes, the setting and I would recommend it to friends or anyone who wants a good scare.
- DirectorMasayuki OchiaiStarsJoshua JacksonRachael TaylorJames KysonA newly married couple discovers disturbing, ghostly images in photographs they develop after a tragic accident. Fearing the manifestations may be connected, they investigate and learn that some mysteries are better left unsolved.The real compliments I have for this film are for the excellent story and surprising twists that really caught me off guard, and should, therefore, go to the original version. This remake is, however, very well done

- DirectorCharles GuardThomas GuardStarsEmily BrowningArielle KebbelElizabeth BanksAnna returns home after a stint in a mental hospital, but her recovery is jeopardized by her father's new girlfriend and ghastly visions of her dead mother.The Uninvited, in my opinion, is one of the best psychological horror thrillers I have seen, It is entertaining and is kept aboard by the great twist and the film's three leading ladies. It will make you jump, squirm and cover your eyes and the brilliantly filmed climax makes it worth.
- DirectorRam Gopal VarmaStarsAjay DevgnUrmila MatondkarNana PatekarWhen a married couple moves into a flat that is haunted by a spirit, a series of inexplicable experiences drive the wife to near madness.

- DirectorMikael HåfströmStarsJohn CusackSamuel L. JacksonMary McCormackA man who specialises in debunking paranormal occurrences checks into the fabled room 1408 in the Dolphin Hotel.

- DirectorVikram K. KumarStarsMadhavanNitu ChandraPoonam DhillonA man experiences a supernatural occurrence at his newly purchased apartment; a soap opera being telecast exclusively on his TV, which shows the future of his family.I saw it with minimal expectations and after I saw the film, I googled it thoroughly to make sure that it was not an "unofficial Hollywood remake". And to my surprise, is it an original screenplay. This movie is a better psycho-thriller than most of the Hollywood productions. You actually care about what's going to happen to them in the end.

- DirectorTi WestStarsSara PaxtonPat HealyKelly McGillisDuring the final days at the Yankee Pedlar Inn, two employees determined to reveal the hotel's haunted past begin to experience disturbing events as old guests check in for a stay.This movie isn't for everyone because of different sensibilities. But I do; however, don't believe it deserves the score it has, this one should get some credit. It's a subtle horror moving that builds great tension and has some good scares.
- DirectorYam LaranasStarsCarmina VillaroelRhian RamosTJ TrinidadA 12 year old cold case is reopened when three teens are missing in an old abandoned road where a gruesome murder is left undiscovered for three decades."The Road" is a Philippine movie, the story was beyond compelling and interesting. Critics say that the movie is scary but I disagree. The movie wasn't scary, it was just creepy and mind-disturbing.an odd mix of crime, horror and drama, with an end result that is actually worth watching.

This isn't a movie for everyone because of the whole possessing thing, I do think, everyone who even if they don't like horror will like this. The ending finale, is very intense, as is the whole entire movie, which will keep your stomach in knots from beginning to end.
- DirectorSamuel BayerStarsJackie Earle HaleyRooney MaraKyle GallnerThe spectre of a disfigured man haunts the children of the parents who murdered him, stalking and killing them in their dreams.This movie was well worth seeing. Jackie Erale Haley's performance as Freddy was really good as any role he plays.This movie may not hold up to the original but it is one of the best horror remakes out there in my eyes. I tried to watch the original "A Nightmare on Elm Street" from the 1980's and it was laughable. The acting was bad, the blood was so fake it looked like juice, and the dialog was so bad a 3rd grader could have written it. This, however, was smart, scary, suspenseful, gory, surprising, and a great movie all together.
