Your Favorite Under-rated Horror Films

Food of the Gods. We sat around that tv like FDR on the radio watching that movie.

And i didnt care for jacob's ladder. It was just too weird and the ending wasnt good. It's really a hackneyed soap opera plot to say the whole thing was a dream.

But cool weird was Videodrome.

Brainscan. I would love to see a sequel based on the principals game.

Not a dream, a death experience. He was dying, passing though Hell, Purgatory and finally to Heaven.

Chopping Mall is great fun. And I agree that the genuinely freaky movies like Altered States and Jacobs Ladder do seem to get overlooked. Another really freaky, often overlooked film from an all time great director is the Brood.

But my choice is Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Yes, it's a cult classic. But many write it off in comparison to the original film. And treated as a kind of a throwaway. But I think it's brilliantly done. And in fact I actually like it better than the original. So many things are done so well in that movie. It's not a conventional horror film, but you can see its influences in all kinds of places.

I am on board with 2 being a better overall film than one. Its pretty much the same story just fleshed out more.

I will add

I remember liking Food of the Gods and Devils Rain (Reign?) when I was a kid, most of seen them both a half dozen times.

The Car.
Had to watch the trailer to remind me what the movie was and I do recall seeing it when I was much younger.
I don't recall it being any good...probably why I forgot about the movie.
Duel, on the other hand, was pretty good. But it's more suspense than horror.

Spring-a great little gem of a movie from 2015. It's a horror and love story rolled into one.

Race with the devil

 

[Patriot666]

Not sure it's underrated...but Intruder is a great one. Has one brutal kill that's worth seeing.

Reanimator

Reanimator

There are some unforgivable bad effects in that film but its a great ride.

Reanimator

This one is a cult classic.

Angel Heart, The Omen, The Hitcher

Angel Heart, The Omen, The Hitcher

I think The Omen was pretty successful and well received in its time.

 

[Centurion]

Yeah, I wouldn't say The Omen (original from the 70's) is underrated.
It's so popular that several sitcoms have mocked it or made a parody of it.

 

[Patriot666]

I was surprised how I didn't enjoy The Omen with how praised it is. +1 for Reanimator though, fantastic movie with awesome practical effects. Can't beat 80's horror. It's gold Jerry! Gold!

Yes sir!
Jeffrey Combs overacting style fits the role perfectly!
