Horror Movies With a Bit of Mystery

I would like to hear what your recommendations are, and what you like. However, it seems most horror movie threads on shroomery are full of old school films. Not saying all old movies suck, but they're just not my taste.
I also don't care for slasher films, except for the saw series. Don't bother mentioning zombie films either...there's just too many of them.
I liked Dreamcatcher and The Mist based on Stephen King books. Sixth Sense, Poltergeist, The Others...basically horror films that are mysteries as well, and I like twists.

I think you are looking for a "Thriller" such as a "Mystery Thriller" or "Psychological Thriller"
I watch a ton of horror movie so I'll try to come up with some titles but I though I might make your search a little easier with a narrower genre

Yeah, I suppose that's the proper title of the genre, but what's the difference? What defines a horror movie vs. a thriller?

Not a movie, but I am playing Dead Space for the first time right now since I got it on sale last week, and it is scaring the shit out of me 
From what I've heard the story is supposed to be a really good, and so far it is.
I watched the anime movie for it too last night which wasn't bad.

Thriller is a genre of literature, film, video gaming and television that uses suspense, tension, and excitement as the main elements. The primary subgenre is psychological thrillers. After the assassination of President Kennedy, political thriller and paranoid thriller films became very popular. The brightest examples of thrillers are the films of Alfred Hitchcock.
Horror films are unsettling movies that strive to elicit the emotions of fear, disgust and horror from viewers. They often feature scenes that startle the viewer through the means of macabre and the supernatural, thus frequently overlapping with the fantasy and science fiction genres. Horrors also frequently overlap with the thriller genre.
generally I think Thrillers are more plot and character driven focusing on the mental whereas Horror focus' on the physical basically the difference between witnessing a murder and being involved in one

So you want a horror movie with mystery but no slasher films, no zombies, and it has to be recent..
You're not exactly making this easy. 
Pontypool is really good. It is a zombie movie but you never really see the zombies at all. Its a more psychological horror.
I guess Hard Candy could be considered a horror depending on how you look at it. It is definitely VERY suspenseful and you're never quite sure what the truth is.. HIGHLY recommend that one.
I think Cloverfield is pretty underrated.
Dead Snow is really good but it has a bunch of comedy in it too.. I think that is the perfect mix of comedy and genuinely good horror.
Let The Right One In is amazing if you haven't seen it yet. The Swedish version.. not the bastardized American remake..
I really like Lifeforce too. Its not really recent.. was made in 1985 but you mentioned Poltergeist which is older than that so whatever.
And I'll say check out Moon too..

Most horror films are either stupid or simply not scary...
Stupid: Look at the Scream movies
Not scary: Look at the Saw movies
To me a great horror movie needs a little bit of the following
- A plot (logic right) - Something paranormal (helps explain the parts that wouldn't make sense if analyzed) - Gore - A twist ending - Moment that makes you jump out of your seat - No comedy whatsoever, otherwise it makes it cheesy
Good exaples would be The Ring and The Grudge.
Mix in creepy kids and you got a winning formula.

I'll recomend
the Ring Rachel Keller is a journalist investigating a videotape that may have killed four teenagers (including her niece). There is an urban legend about this tape: the viewer will die seven days after watching it. If the legend is correct, Rachel will have to run against time to save her son's and her own life.
if you like the 6th sense you might like DeVil In Philadelphia, Detective Bowden is still grieving for his wife and son, killed in a hit-and-run five years ago. A suicidal person jumps off from the top of a skyscraper onto a truck, and Bowden is sent to investigate. Meanwhile five strangers are trapped in an elevator in the building where the jumper committed suicide. The communication radio in the elevator is broken but the guards, Lustig and Ramirez, observe the individuals via CCTV as events unfold. Having been trapped for some time, tensions are high, so Lustig calls the police and Detective Bowden assumes the case. Without being able to contact the individuals he tries to work out who they are and realizes he can only account for four of them. Time is running out for the occupants of the elevator as Bowden realizes he has to get them out quickly.
the Cube (I've only seen one of the sequals) Six different people, each from a very different walk of life, awaken to find themselves inside a giant cube with thousands of possible rooms. Each has a skill that becomes clear when they must band together to get out: a cop, a math whiz, a building designer, a doctor, an escape master, and a disabled man. Each plays a part in their thrilling quest to find answers as to why they've been imprisoned.
I'll think of more

Space is always a good setting for these types of movies.
I recommend checking out Pandorum. Wasn't great, but it is worth the watch imo.

I just watched The Cube. How can that be classified as "horror"? Pretty interesting, but the ending didn't live up to my expectations.

well then you have no clue about film making. just because a film is old doesn't mean it's cheesy, or doesn't allude to much bigger things than you see on the screen.
if you haven't seen it I suggest you watch it...it's an awesome film

Funny that you say that. The Cube and The Cube 2 contained so much mystery for me. About 8 years ago they just appeared on my computer and no one with access to it said they put them there. And I was on Dial-up at the time so downloading it was not really an option, I mean i don't think i could have been away that long or tie up the only phone for that long. 
Kind of an interesting movie but I didn't like it, and 2 was even worse.

I just say effects-wise. There's still the potential for character development, plot, mystery, etc. but there's no getting around the fact that special effects are just better today, which help make the supernatural more convincing. You could have the best acting and other elements of a movie, but then a claymation monster or some guy in terrible makeup pops into the seen, and I roll my eyes.

Ok I can agree w/ you somewhat, but Night of the Living Dead is about the conflict that occurs between the people stuck inside the house. It's awesome.
Also you need to use your imagination more. Just because it doesn't look real doesn't change the story...
example: Jason and the Argonauts. full of horrible special effects but still one of my favorite movies

I never seen the first one so I don't know how that differs from the one I have seen (I don't remember if it was Cube 2 or Cube 0)
but it's kind of a saw (the first one) type thriller without the gore and more of a sci fi plot
you wake up trapped in an unfamiliar place with people you don't know for reasons you can't understand can you get out?
it's the only REAL horror imo. it's not likely that some ax wielding psyco killer will ever come after you but it is a real possibility to be lost and scared in a place you are unfamiliar with

Don't know how I forgot to suggest Suspira.
Turn the light off and the volume up for that one.. the score in meant to be really jarring.
Its an older movie but there aren't really any special effects so your argument is moot (although its a pretty lame argument to begin with).

On second thought, I don't like your attitude. I won't check out the original. I'll get the remake!! Don't you know special effects are 
Well dude, let me just say that you'll be missing out on a great film..
I checked Antichrist last night via netflix and I don't really know what to think except that it's not everyday you get to see Charlotte Gainsbourg cut her clitoris off using scissors...
It definitely fits in the category you're looking after OP. It's dark, it's weird, it's full of '' WTF '' and it's filled with mysterious shit.
Check it out!

the thing your missing is all horror movies made in the last ten years are terrible or just mediocre.
there maybe but only like 3 really good ones that i can recall. House of 1000 corpses and 28 days later and Pan's labyrinth.
this is my opinion of course but these movies are the only ones that actually had a deeper artistic side to them.

28 days/weeks later were both awesome!!

agreed.
Some others..
Orphan was good. The Children was ok. The Host was awesome but if you can't handle old movies I have no idea your opinion on subtitles. House of the Devil was great but you don't seem to be the kind of person who appreciates a slow burn in your horror movies.. you want something to jump right out at you from the beginning right?

ide like to add one more to my list actually, just watched it last week and my memory isnt that great these days 
its called Lunacy (seleni) it came out in 05. One trippy mindfuck of a film if you can handle subtitles.

that was a terrible movie.. and i love Lars Von Trier. Breaking the Waves and Dogville are some of my fav movies of all time.
Antichrist was little more than torture porn though.

Yeah....just my fetish. And I need at least five explosions to make any movie worthwhile. If the explosions cause fire it's even better.

here im just copying some that might of been mentioned but a decent list offers some variety. There is some asian films and the reason they are included is they are bomb seriously must watch. 1. From Hell 2. The Uninvited 3. What Lies Beneath 4. Misery 5. Vacancy 6. The Mothman Prophecies 7. Gothika 8. Secret Window 9. Flatliners 10. Fallen 11. Cube(already mentioned but i thought it was good) 12. Funny Games 13. The Cell 14. The Devil's Advocate 15. Seven 16. Brainscan 17. Joshua 18. The Prophecy 19. The Jacket 20. Unbreakable 21. Hostel 1-2 22. 30 Days of Night 23. Turistas 24. Audition 25. Old boy(highly recommend) 26. Sympathy for Mr Vengeance/Lady vengeance(old boy is much better a must watch) 27. Ichi The Killer 28. Seven 29. The Island of Dr. Moreau 30. Crows zero 1/2(not as much a horror as a psychological mind fuck) 31. Ju On(series not sure if all are but their very good) 32. Tetsuo: The Iron Man 33. Tokyo Gore Police
Thats just a small list honestly if your really into psychological horrors i have a strong suggestion of you looking into asian films they have this type down. Just watch Old Boy/Ichi the Killer to see if you like their take on psychological thrillers.

I think you have seven on your list twice (15 & 28)
30 days of night was a good twist on the vampire movie
and I've never seen Tokyo Gore police but I have seen Frankenstein Girl vs Vampire Girl which was by the same guy, I liked it but I doubt many people would. Japanese Horror/Comedy is an odd mix of genres from an odd culture
OH I'd also like to recommend The Wizard of Gore Montag the Magnificent (Glover) is a master illusionist who performs at underground venues, selecting female volunteers (Suicide Girls) from his rave-like audiences. To their hysteria, it appears he's dismembered their bodies, but his sleigh of hand has fooled them. However, female bodies show up dead from the same wounds performed on stage. Investigators are baffled, and the chase to find the killer begins.

from wikip3dia: In January 2011, it was announced that Warner Brothers Pictures and CBS Films will be developing a feature length film adaptation of The Stand.[10] There is currently no official release date

Didn't read the whole thread so sorry if someone mentioned it, but the movie Session 9 came to my mind. EXCELLENT film IMO, definitely a must see if you're into "horror movies with a bit of mystery"

guess great minds think alike 
the lonesome death of jody verril is awesome too though, that part made me itch every time i watched it
its a toss up but crate wins, one of my favorite movies back in the day.

Faces of Death 2 is the most legit, but a majority of those showed are already dead.
