As I mentioned in my previous post, I scare really easily so this question should probably be answered by saying 'any horror movie I've ever seen (except Scary Movie 4)'.
But really, there are two that stick out in my mind and both are connected to Guillermo del Toro. The first is Pan's Labyrinth, directed by del Toro, which scared me because the 'reality' scenes were so brutal and the 'fantasy' scenes just had some freaky shit in it, particularly the bit where she has to get the dagger from the dining table without disturbing the creature. You know the one.
The other is El Orfanato (The Orphanage), which del Toro produced. There's something about creepy children, creepy orphan children, that really gets me. And occult and supernatural type stuff freaks me out. Characters seeing shit is bad enough, but when shit gets real and there's a sort of poltergeist type reckoning, I don't like it.
I should probably mention right now that because horror is not my favoured genre, I've never seen any of the classics like The Shining, The Exorcist, The Omen or even films like Pet Sematary, so this post is really about the most scary drama films I've ever seen.
