Awesome list! I was very late on watching The Thing. I watched it 2 weeks ago and it ranks just behind The Exorcist as my favorite horror movie. Holy sh#t, I don't think we're going to see an effects showcase like that in a long time. Crazy good pacing, sense of dread, acting, and felt original considering it came out in 1982...
I also watched Pulse recently. I had trouble sitting in my office chair comfortably. I got the major creeps in the beginning. It felt like it was plucked out of somebody's nightmare.
'The favorites' fluctuate constantly, so this list is just off the top of my head.
1. The Exorcist
2. John Carpenter's The Thing
3. A Tale of Two Sisters
4. Les 7 jours du talion (7 Days) - This is the only film with 'torture' scenes that I recommend horror film lovers to watch. It's disturbingly violent and equally moving. Even if you found Martyrs nasty/distasteful (like me), I still recommend you check out this film. I'm picky with horror flicks (especially the violent ones)... I watched genre-films like Eden Lake & Martyrs only once because I can't endure movies that deliberately depresses its audience... and I was floored with how well crafted this movie was.
5. The Descent (Original UK Cut)
6. Kairo (Pulse)
7. Green Room
8. The Babadook
9. The Exorcist III
10. [REC]
