Not sure about the order, but these are 5 of my dearest favorites:

1. Triangle - Love it more every time I watch it. Totally brain twisting and full of brilliantly directed scenes. It stars Melissa George who's been in a few mediocre horror movies, but I think she shines in this one.

2. The Broken - In my opinion this is a very underrated film. It stars Lena Headey before she became famous for playing Cersei on Game of Thrones. It's primarily based on the whole "evil people behind the mirrors" cliche, but it manages to be super creepy. On repeated viewing there are a lot of easter eggs.

3. Noroi: The Curse - A japanese documentary style horror. Unlike most films of its kind, it doesn't have stupid characters who scream and cry and make dumb decisions. It does have a crazy guy with a tin foil hat, but he actually makes the movie that much more interesting. Slow burning and extremely unsettling.

4. Ju-On: The Grudge - It's hard to say which film in this series is my favorite, because they all overlap and borrow from each other, so I chose the most well known japanese version. Honestly, if I could take all my favorite parts from each film and put them together, then that would be my favorite horror film of all time.

5. Tomie - Another film series that I'm not sure which one I love the most. Based on the manga by Junji Ito, Tomie films run the gamut from really good to really bad. Each one is enjoyable if you really love Tomie, but I would say the first one is my favorite simply because they don't reveal Tomie's face until late in the film. All these guys are going insane over this girl but you don't even know what she looks like. Some people say the actress isn't beautiful enough to be Tomie, but I think she did one of the best portrayals.
