There's just something about being trapped in the dark an underground cave with seemingly no way out.
Seeing it in the theater really enhanced that feeling.

I voted Alien while it consider to be sci-fi film, I pretty much jump off my seat seeing it first time. Yeah, even that stupid cat made me jump on one scene.

It’s also 20+ years before the 21st century.

A Tale of Two Sisters and Pulse (the original Japanese film, obviously) are good choices. I would have to give serious consideration to I Saw The Devil as well.

I voted Pan's Labyrinth (even though I would consider it more of an adult fairytale). If I had to toss on an other I would vote The Strangers

Pan’s Labyrinth by country mile. That movie is sublime. Horror? Eh, not sure about that, but if those are choices, then no hesitation...

You voted other for a movie a century ago?

I was torn between Let The Right One In vs Pan’s Labyrinth. I went with the former only because PL could be just as easily be called dark fantasy as horror. The real horror is more in the subtext of what creates the fantasy.

i would also say The Descent and Let the Right One In, as well was, High Tension and Martyrs. Loved those. But, PL for the win.

This is the correct answer!

And Pan's Labyrinth is not a horror movie. Pretty poor poll choices made by someone who doesn't watch many horror movies, obviously.

What genre would OldBoy be considered? I always thought psychological horror, so if PL eligible, I would say OB would qualify. Obviously, that’s my #1. #1 foreign, #1 horror, lots of #1’s for me, but not all time...

I’d consider Pan’s Labyrinth fantasy and Oldboy a psychological drama/thriller.
