"Dagon" ...I'm not sure how easy it is to find, but it's a movie worth searching out. Fair warning... not for all tastes, and it may make you cringe at times.
It had really good effects, make-up, and a good twisted story. It doesn't star anyone I've ever heard of, but that sure didn't make a difference! I had strange dreams for about a week after watching this, and thought it was the scariest movie I've seen since "Alien".
It was directed by Stuart Gordon of "Re-Animator" fame, and the screenplay is by Dennis Paoli (think he worked for Full Moon Pictures).
...here's the blurb from the back of the VHS box... 'Based on a short story by HP Lovecraft, the undisputed master of macbre ...Paul and his girlfriend Barbara are celebrating the success of their new company on a yacht off the coast of Spain. When a sudden storm smashes their boat on a reef, Barbara and Paul swim to the nearest town for help. The decrepit fishing village of Imboca at first seems to be deserted, but unblinking eyes peer out from boarded-up houses. The strange inhabitants offer little help to the stranded couple. By nightfall, Barbara is missing and Paul finds himself pursued by the entire town...but a town of what?'
...if anyone else has seen "Dagon" I'd love to hear your opinion.
Back to original question:
What's the scariest movie you've watched that's been made since the year 2000?

The Descent and Silent Hill are my favorite movies...but the one who scaried me the most was the Inside. There were parts I couldn´t even watch...and that never happened to me before. =S
i loved house of wax not scary but i still liked it
Oh and diary of the dead (thank god i was watching it by my shelf)
Wrong Turn 1 was AWESOME, but the second movie was disappointing.
If you're claustrophibic, you'd probably have a problem watching the movie called "CUBE". It came out in 1997, and I thought it was pretty good. I never bothered with the 2nd one though. I didn't think it needed a follow-up - that, and follow-ups generally aren't as good.
Out of all the films mentioned, the only ones I've seen so far are "Silent Hill" and the remake of "House of Wax".
The previews looked tempting for "Silent Hill", and I really enjoyed it - nice and moody.
I can't say the same for the previews of "House of Wax". I think the only reason I even bothered to check that one out was because Jared Padalecki (Sam Winchester from "Supernatural") was in it. I can't say it was scary, but I enjoyed it more than the original.
And you´re right, the third movie was terrible. The second one was good, but not as good as the first one of course.
I also agree with what you said about "House of Wax".
I'm kind of curious about "The Descent", but I'm afraid that "Frontieres" is another one I've never even heard of.
