DieRuhe: "The Others" was quite enjoyable too.
Well... Huh. All right then. That was ... Unexpected. And beautifully British :-P

ofsaturn: I personally liked "1408" (with John Cusack 2007, preferably the directors cut)

Wishbone: I'll second the recommendation for 1408.

I'll also recommend Sinister (2012). I'd never heard of it, but stumbled across it in a store, thought it looked interesting, and bought it. I found it... goddamn scary, actually.

I'm also very fond of The Descent (2005), although I found the sequel to be a disappointment.

I enjoyed the first two Paranormal Activity movies. Unfortunately, the third one was a joke. I haven't watched the fourth one yet, but people I've spoken to about it tell me it's even worse than the third. The first two movies were absolutely brilliant though.
I'd second Sinister. Though it uses the odd jump-scares (the lawnmower scene) it mostly is the increasing eeriness that frightens you. Though I didn't like the ending.

Insidious was pretty good.

Sinister was ... Well ... Sinister :D It was pretty good. And kinda the sort of a movie I'm looking for, really.

"My Little Eye" (2002), "The Hole" (2001) and "Session 9" (2001) are all really good horror flicks with strong mystery elements. "The Hole" in particular might interest you, as it is has a similar feel to "Sinister", if you've not already seen it. =)

nightrunner227: You've probably already seen it, but The Machinist is fantastic. It's from 2004, so not too far back.
I've seen this movie yesterday and I must admit it's pretty good movie, but sometimes I had to think deeply "what's going on".

Dead Silence (2007) has nice atmosphere.

undeadcow: Maybe I'm jaded but I don't consider Cabin in the Woods to be that scary; it's more of a satire.
Yeah I'd go with satire, if they wanted it to be horror they wouldn't have revealed the whole story a few minutes in. It's a shame, I think it would have played out much better if they revealed all that to the viewer along with the characters (course then it'd be more of a horror).

As for recommendations;
I really liked Apollo 18, IMO it's a very good found footage style horror movie with a unique setting; it's set inside the fictional Apollo 18 and on the moon, so it's spacey, but nothing sci-fi like most space horrors tend to go.

The first Paranormal Activity, the sequels are more of the same but each one suffers from the previous movies' sequel bait ending which I doubt the makers really think through. The overarching mystery/story also falls flat and goes a bit silly by the end of 4.

Devil. I watched this on the weekend, it has an interesting premise being stuck in an elevator with the devil. I mention it only because it has a mystery as to which person is the devil and why they're here, which is something the OP might enjoy. However I felt it relies a little too heavily on cutting to black and making noises while something completely awesome is happening.

I'd recommend "The Conjuring". It's a genuinely creepy throwback film, brings back memories of classics like Poltergeist and Amityville Horror.

I'd also recommend "Drag me to Hell".
