i've not seen that one yet.not a horror movie but one that i recommend nonetheless, "City of lost children". french gothic fairy tale by jean pierre jeunet.
also I am Omega is worth checking out. very very low budget version of I am legend. but actually really quite clever in its own way.

city of lost children is cocking phenomenalbut make sure you get the original language version... I got the english one by mistake. There is something worse about dubbed films when they're dubbed in English accents.
not as grand as the Ichi the Killer cockney gangster dubbing though.

i've got the french one but it has the dubbed one as an extrathe dubbing isn't actually that bad on it i thought. obviously the french one is better though

do you like your horror movies bloody and gory, or more 'inferred, and more creepy'?general ideas would include:
Dagon
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake (yes, not the original, the remake has very little incidental music, and the shocks when they come aren't built up with music, makes it much more effective)
Saw I & II, beyond that, don't bother, it's only gore filler
The original Halloween is also a good one
The Dawn of the Dead remake is excellent
perhaps something like Outpost may also appeal
and if they have it, The Orphanage. A very good film.

A few years back, me an the better half decided to go to the flicks...little realising it was Halloween and horror movies would no doubt be on. Deciding against going for something
'nicer' we opted for the Texas Chainsaw remake, both expecting it to be fairly mundane hokum.
The cinema was packed, mainly with teenagers and young couples etc, so I was expecting nothing more than popcorn horror fodder.
it was the only time I've been to the cinema where the lights came up at the end and nobody said a word, there was complete silence as everyone shuffled out, all a bit stunned by the film.
the lack of incidental music made the 'shocks' just that little more brutal when they did come, as you weren't prepared for them by the inclusion of 'suspense' music.
It's not a classic horror, but it does deliver when it needs to.
also, pick up Dagon if you can, fairly humdrum horror hokum, good story, and has one of the nastiest special effects jobs
in a horror movie I've seen

I saw one about six months ago but i can't remember the nameI only remember it coz it had the best dying words of a baddie ever.
'I think it's sorta, er, oh.'
That was it, it was Zombarella.

Perfect Blue (psychological anime horor thing)it depends if by really good you mean trashy amusing shlock or genuinely scary?
EDIT: Time Crimes.. although I'm not sure if that's released in this country yet.
Dance of the Dead (terribly titled hysterical zombie horror comedy hting)
Living Dead atthe Manchester Morgue (spanish zombie film set in the lake district.. has nothing to do with manchester)
Tetsuo: the iron man
Gozu.
