Had the same problem with my partner's daughter and cousins and gave up in the end.
I love movies that require you to use your own imagination to fill in the blanks which helps to increase the tension to scare you. Unfortunately teenagers these days tend to leave their imaginations at the door, everything needs to be spelled out for them and it has to have lots of blood and guts to be scary.
cryocore's list brings up memories.
I remember my partner and I thinking the Lost Boys would be cool so played it for a bunch of teenagers and they got bored. Also tried Silence of the Lambs. Nope. I guess what we loved as kids just doesn't hack it these days.
One suggestion would be The Descent. It wasn't half bad.
