Outpost (2007) - IMDb

It's not even a bad film and I found it frightening / disturbing

If you can be tempted to a book then The Exorcist book is quite scary?

I also love The Exorcism of Emily Rose although I might not describe it as scary.
Orphan and We have to talk about Kevin are scary but maybe only if you have kids or are particularly maternal/paternal?

Solved the "Bob" shop problem in Uganda though, didn't he?

I am glad I was not drinking coffee when I read that

Drag me to hell (original is good, remake is better)
The Shining
The Thing (original is good but John Carpenter remake is better)
The Exorcist

For actual horror - The Last King of Scotland (horrible as a lot of that actually happened).

Has there been anything, as an adult, that you've watched that genuinely terrified you?

Not strictly scary but I find the "Final Destination" films to be a cut above the rest of the genre.

Only one that has sent a shiver down my spine recently is Insidious, not sure if the air con in the cinema was low but something got me.

Indeed SM, it did exactly the same to me. I'm sure the feeling was exacerbated by the fact I was watching it alone in a drafty Edwardian rectory in the middle of nowhere on the Quantock hills.

There was also something in it that brought back memories of my childhood old hag visitations.
