Five recent horror dvd´s : experts needed!!
Despite being a massive horror movie fan, I've got to admit that in the last three years I've only watch the more obvious mainstream films.
So ... I am wondering if someone can point me in the direction of what they think are the 5 horror essential purchases of the last three years ( Not re-released classics ).
Any advice is really apreciated.
Thanks
Edgler

if you are only looking for films released in the last 3 years....the list would be pretty weak. I'll throw in some "first time on dvd" or other films getting proper treatment. for further tips...see the horror titles in my library.
Nonhosonno-Dario Argento import-known as a full-screen release only in the US as Sleepless.
Dead and Buried-Blue Underground
Raw Meat-finally on dvd!
The Prowler-an under-rated slasher on BU
28 Days Later-I loved it.
Spider-David Cronenberg...not really horror, but somewhat disturbing. many people did not like this effort, but I love it.

Cabin Fever because of all the fricken homages, and the great commentaries
Wrong turn just a fun 'monster' movie
28 Days Later only recent zombie movie of any worth
Freddy vs Jason because its friggin Freddy vs Jason
Jeepers Creepers because it's the start of a new franchise.
Session 9, has such a great feeling

Freddy vs. Jason is a lot of fun if you liked them growing up. I haven't seen most of the others listed so it's a nice list of movies for me to pick up soon. Thanks!

I hate to say it, but a crapton of the 'horror' movies listed in this thread are some of the worst movies i've ever seen.
28 Days Later- great movie, loved how it was shot, nice little tributes to film makers like Romero.
Red Dragon- not as good as manhunter, but a pretty damn good remake, I think Ralph Finnes was a little better as Francis AKA "The Tooth Fairy", the movie was overall darker and more explict than its original version.
Frailty- not sure if I would label this straight horror, but its a great horror/thriller. If I'm not mistaken Bill Paxton directed this? and it was probably my hands down favorite film of 03'. It had a very dark tone the entire movie, and it rarely let up. It creeps you out and it makes you feel very uneasy. The characters in the movie are very believeable and I think its probably one of the most underrated movies I've seen in the last 5 years.

Red dragon sucked. But then again so did man hunter. Other than silence of the lambs all the sequels sucked.

Hannibal, on the other hand, was horrendous.
