Strangers is the only one that had me a bit spooked.

That could've been decent but once you see the 'thing' it turns to shit. Much better when the thing doing the badness is left to the imagination IMO

Sinister was a good recent horror IMO, although it falls away towards the end a bit, something it shares with seemingly all new horror films.

Good call, the more recent remake was poor.
