And then I'd just add Martyrs as the best horror movie in the last 10 years, and defying any category.

This is just off the top of my head. If you want a longer list, check out my sig.
 
Martyrs? I've heard loads about that, largely polarized views from 'masterpiece' to 'torture porn'. I've been debating checking it out for ages, but it faces me with the same dilemma as Von Trier's 'Antichrist', how much of it is just gratuitous torture/violence?
Not that I have a particular aversion to it but too much just takes away from a movie for me.
 
Martyrs is disturbing, graphically and psychologically. But I don't think either is gratuitious. Without giving away the plot, the martyrdom theme has to play through to the bitter end for the movie to make its point. I find the end, though it is one of the most graphic scenes I've ever laid eyes on, to be absolutely beautiful and awe-inspiring.

Again, it depends on your taste. If you don't like graphic horror, period, you'll hate Martyrs. If you see a place for graphic horror in horror films, this is one of the best examples of necessary violence.

it is a movie that sticks with you for days--but it's not the images that stick, but the themes. At least, that's the experience I and the other kdk-12'ers have had.
 
Well, just wondering if it's as graphic as anything I've seen. As far as the graphic..ness of the violence goes, what would you compare it to? Is it like 'Saw' kinda graphic?
 
It's less violent, but just as graphic. I can't really tell you more without giving it away. If you didn't find the violence in hostel or saw disturbing, the graphics won't bother you. Psychologically, it is far more disturbing than those movies.
 
If you are interested in a bit more extreme horror i would suggest seeing Henry: Portrait of a serial killer, August Underground(Read some reviews and decide if it is right for you, definitely not for the faint of heart or weak stomach), Audition, Guinea Pig series, videodrome, Salo, Devils rejects, Rob Zombies Halloween, Norikos dinner table, Visitor Q, and 3...extremes. I have seen very many horror films and consider them my favorite genre, these films have stuck out from the rest of them. Read reviews first and enjoy:)

ps:
Men behind the sun
Cannibal Holocaust
and The Strangers wasn't bad either

I was going to say Audition, and Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer -- but echoes beat me to it.

Gozu is pretty disturbing. Yogen (Premonition).

The Ninth Gate.

The Dawn of the Dead remake is pretty good too.
 
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Wolfen
Dog Soldiers
The Entity
Evil Dead 2
Children of the Corn

And still the best horror parody ever:
Student Bodies
