I like horror movies with happy endings which is why I really liked The Others (and also Silent Hill). Does any of you have any nice suggestions for horror movies with happy endings?

I thought Silent Hill had a pretty happy ending. It seemed all the main characters were more or less happy with where they ended up. Same with the Others. And there was also the sense that "whew it's all over and there's not going to be a hand coming out of the grave before as the final shot".
That's happy horror endings to me. (Ring for example is an example of a not-so-happy ending since when it's all "over" it still isn't goddamn over!)

Wat?
*SILENT HILL SPOILERS LOOK OUT HOLY FUCK*
The father is all alone, Cybil burnt to a crisp, and the mother and daughter are trapped on an entirely different plane of existence where everything is enveloped in fog. How the hell is anyone more or less happy?
*END OF SILENT HILL SPOILERS LOOK OUT HOLY FUCK*
Well, I just saw Martyrs. It didn't ruin my life, but it got close. Really a fantastic movie. I hate how they label it as torture porn on Rotten Tomatoes, because it's so much more than that. The psychology of abused, tortured, chained people, the reasons one is driven to abuse, torture and chain someone down. There's a subtle fuck yeah moment at the end, which I always like, and a lot of really upsetting scenes. Oddly enough, there wasn't a single screamer! Soundtrack was surprisingly great as well. Not a happy ending per se, but not an altogether bad one. There're some things that redeem it, but again it's ultimately pretty damn brutal.

The Last Broadcast started out good but had an awful plot twist before the end that ruined everything. Nowhere near the quality of Blair Witch or Noroi in terms of the low-budget "homemade" style of movie. I guess it kinda paved the way for those two, though, so kudos there.
EDIT: The Others tonight. :)

Okay, The Others was pretty good. Not the best, but I liked the twist and had just the right kind of suspense. The only bad thing is that it wasn't particularly memorable.
Tetsuo: The Iron Man was nonsensically awesome. There's literally no plot to it. I'm particularly fond of the beginning. Things got a little TOO fucked up near the end. The main character's penis turns into a drill. Guess how his girlfriend dies?
I watched Saw because I never saw (lol) it before. Sweet twist at the end, JIGSAW WAS IN THE ROOM THE WHOLE TIME HOLY FUCK but marred by terrible, terrible acting (from Cary Elwes of all people, although to be fair he was probably the best). It scared me, so I guess it did its job. Never going to watch any of the sequels though.
Just finished Thriller: A Cruel Picture. It wasn't an exploitation version of a Michael Jackson music video, unfortunately. But I was surprisingly impressed with what it turned out to be. This movie was a heavy influence on Quentin Tarantino during the making of Kill Bill, and throughout I saw some definite nods to those movies (the main girl's eye patch, for instance). Not really a horror movie, but I find exploitation even scarier than regular horror--it could actually HAPPEN to you. A lot of disgusting stuff in the uncut version I watched, like actual penetration and close-ups of sexual intercourse. Nice to confirm the fact that I'm not a sadist.
I'm feeling Plague Town tomorrow night. I really want to watch Happiness of the Katakuris, but my friends are so busy they don't have time to watch movies. >____> Soon though, soon.

Halloween made me giggle.
And i thought the American Ring was actually scarier than the Japanese one, but i seem to be alone in that opinion...
I can't deal with scary movies, i'm not a scary movie person. I can watch them straight through without being very scared at all, but when i turn it off and go to bed im shitting myself.
I like the satisfaction of telling people when i've watched one though, it makes me feel hard.

Halloween was so great. Even the sequels were okay, Donald Pleasance alone certainly made them watchable. I just hate the Rob Zombie ones though. Dirty and needlessly brutal =/= scary. Just painful (not the good Martyrs kind of painful) to watch.
I oughta check out the American Ring.
I don't know why I like horror/exploitation movies. That ambiguity could be why I'm drawn to them. I mean I don't like being scared THAT much...
Watched Plague Town last night. The ending made absolutely no sense, but it was pretty good up until then. It reminded me of one of those EVIL VILLAGE movies from like the 70s and 80s. Sorta like The Hills Have Eyes but with children.
6 out of 18, I think. Not sure what I'll watch tonight. Maybe Les Yeux Sans Visage. But it's homecoming tonight, and a lot of my relatives are coming over for my grandma's birthday, so maybe not...

Just about to watch Noroi, I haven't watched any really good horror films but the trailer made it look nice.
I enjoy watching horror movies, but I can't seem to find any that scare the living shit out of me for days after. I like movies that are more strange/eerie than having some bloody corpse pop out of a window. Can you guys recommend anything of this sort?

Noroi definitely fits that bill, if you can bear all the build up. The final five or so minutes are worth the trouble. God it messed me up.
Martyrs is painful and will probably scare you for awhile after seeing it, but it tends to be labeled as torture porn, so if you can't handle seeing a chained woman getting senselessly beaten for days I wouldn't recommend it. It's a lot deeper than torture porn though, deals a lot with what happens after death and such.
Besides that, hmm... Audition was incredibly unsettling. I hear during the initial release at some film festival a woman in the audience actually fainted.
À l'intérieur was violent and ridiculous, to the point where even though maybe this could happen, you'd be more inclined to believe zombies exist first. Really Fucked up ending.
Session 9 is slow and moody, builds up to a great plot twist. Also, like another movie of similar tone, Jacob's Ladder, was one of the chief inspirations for Silent Hill.
Yep. There're my recommendations.

I don''t know why, but I find myself rewatching the " cursed tape " scene from The Ring all the time.
Seriously, should I get help?

You're so right ;)
I actually saw SM3 first, so it was hard to stay serious with the movie
And I like it how Brenda ate the popcorn when Tabitha came out of the TV
