Martyrs, the original french version very disturbing
Of recent years I’d say the first Paranormal activity is genuinely scary. Not many films are actually scary but that got me.

No such thing as a scary horror film.

Japanese one is called Ringu, much better than the US version. Ringu 0 is quite unnerving in places.
Ju-On (the grudge) is pretty good, again it's better than the US version.

Midsommar and Get Out both very good recent additions, although i imagine some may not describe them as horror films.

These types of horrors tend to get me more as well, the realism side of it, Dark Skies, The Visit and Mirrors as well as the Final Destination series tend to get me more than your typical slasher or gory movies.
Knocked Up scared the shit out of me.
I find the horror genre a bit naff to be honest. But the film which made me wince the most in the past decade or so was Hard Candy.
I found the first Sinister to be very good

The Hand starring Peter Lorre.
Frightened me to death but I was just a young kid at the time.
As an adult, it would have to be The Excorcist.

Ethan Hawke's cardigan was the real star of the show but it's a great film.
Surprised nobody has mentioned The Descent yet. I guess that makes me a better human than you misogynists on here. Shame on you all.
