[CriterionCollector]

Session 9. Only movie David caruso is good in.

The Mist
Exorcism of Emily Rose

Probably doesn't even belong here, but yeah don't feel bad. Banner scared the s@#$ outta me as a kid, too. Always had an affinity for that show. And honestly they need to scrap these crap films and put a little money into another Hulk TV series.

 

[Gary23]

Yeah sorry, just popped into my head! How about a british film called Creep!

 

[grandmoffboba]

Speaking of British films how about one named Heartless. Pretty good, not gory or anything just kind of twisted.

I saw this film. I don't remember liking it

**The Irish zombie film "Boy Eats Girl." Surprisingly good.
**Let the Right One In. LOVED this one (original version, not the American one).
**Brotherhood of the Wolf. The movie is long-winded, but I love it.

Plus, for the stale-popcorn-and-generic-soda entertainment side...
**Night of the Creeps. Brilliantly stupid, hideously '80's.
**Near Dark. When this came out, I was soooo in love with that chick who was also in The Wall.
**John Carpenter's "Vampires."

This thread is about Underrated horror...I think alot of these films are pretty well known.

 

[necronomicon]

Yeah that's the one:> did they ever put it on dvd?

Yes, Hell Night is on dvd.

 

[CriterionCollector]

The move "Scarecrows" used to scare the hell out of me when I was a kid.

Any Val Lewton stuff is really good too. Cat People, I walked with a Zombie, the Seventh Victim.

Frozen

Frozen

Hardly underrated. More like overhyped.

 

[dbostejano]

Personally I think:

Carpentar's The Fog and The Thing are way underated..

The Fog is one of the creepiest movies from the 80's.


Hell Night...very underated.

I'd agree with The Fog, but I think The Thing, especially lately, isn't underrated. It's a great horror film, well deserving of it's new found press.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Id agree with the Fog and especially Hell Night. Like Nam said i think due to the new prequel JC's The Thing has gotten new life.

 

[tathataboy]

Oops, forgot one of my quiet, must-be-in-the-mood-for favorites, "Ravenous."

 

[Morbach]

I agree with this

Hardly underrated. More like overhyped.

Agreed. I only watched Frozen because it had Adam Green attached as director. And since I loved Hatchet (Yes, you heard right) I was quick to jump on watching that one. It was surprisingly good but not much reply value IMHO. I remember my Best Buy had hundreds, literally hundreds of copies of this movie on dvd that took a good chunk of the shelves in the aisles. It remained there almost untouched for months after.


I know many may not agree and these a couple of these are more slashers than horror but......

Candyman

The Prowler

Maniac

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Slashers are horror man, slashers are easily my favorite sub-genre next to zombies.

I love the Prowler and I remember as a kid Maniac scared the hell out of me.
