Abominable (2006)

Ryan Schifrin

To my surprise this film was actually pretty good, thanks to the good writing and directing efforts from first-timer Ryan Schifrin. If you're looking for a smart monster flick with a little edge on a low-budget then...

After Midnight (1989)

Jim Wheat, Ken Wheat

This is an underrated horror anthology that offers fairly original stories, which are more entertaining than they are scary. Regardless, it's a good watch for a rainy night; worth a check.

Babysitter Wanted (2008)

Jonas Barnes

A surprisingly good and creative low-budget genre effort. The film successfully blends sub-genres together to give us an interesting little twist on the standard babysitter-slasher. Worth a check if you go in not expecting...

Basket Case (1982)

Frank Henenlotter

Good cult-classic horror film. Lot of weird stuff going on. Cheap ass graphics that are fun to laugh it. Check this film out.

Blood Salvage (1990)

Tucker Johnston

Underrated horror film. Story-driven movie, which might turn off some people, but for those who want to see a decent horror film with an interesting story, check this.

Bloody Birthday (1981)

Ed Hunt

Not that bad of a film. Has interesting death scenes and three killer kids. Can't really go too wrong with that. Check this film out if you get a chance.

Cannibal Apocalypse (1980)

Antonio Margheriti

Should please any cannibal-movie fan. Not overloaded with gore, but does have some nice gore scenes. Check this out if you can.

Cut (2000)

Kimble Rendall

A good slasher flick that kicks many other recent teen slashers in the nuts. I definitely recommend this movie.

Daddy's Girl (1996)

Martin Kitrosser

The film's predictable and clichéd, but well paced and kept my interest from the start. The Jody character is an interesting study on a troubled young girl, with no regard for human life what-so-ever. The flick could...

Dance of the Dead (2008)

Gregg Bishop

Despite some plot-holes, Dance of the Dead turned out to be a surprisingly good zombedy. The zombies and gore is decent, and the characters are fun and interesting. Worth a check if you're looking for a simple low-...

Dead and Buried (1981)

Gary Sherman

A good underrated horror film to come out of the 80s. It's not your typical zombie film. These zombies are far different from the brain-eaters you usually see. Check this movie out if you can find it.

Dead Birds (2004)

Alex Turner

A good direct-to-DVD. It manages to have a solid creepy atmosphere and some decent scares thrown in. Definitely worth a check.

Dead Dudes in the House (1991)

James Riffel

Not a bad low-budget film. The killer granny was creepy and cool. Check this film out if you can.

Dead Heat (1988)

Mark Goldblatt

An incredibly cheesy zombie flick. Good effects, gore, and a lot of funny scenes. Worth a look if you want something fun that doesn't cause a lot of thinking.

Dead Meat (2004)

Conor McMahon

A surprisingly decent direct-to-video zombie flick coming from the folks at Fango. Worth a check.

Dead Pit (1989)

Brett Leonard

A cool underated zombie flick with an interesting twist towards the end. I recommend you guys check this film out if you can.

Death Spa (1988)

Michael Fischa

Some might disagree, but to me it's a very underrated 80's horror film. It had some really sweet death scenes and gore. Only bad thing about the movie are the plot-holes. Check this film and try to get the uncut...

Disturbing Behavior (1998)

David Nutter

Disturbing Behavior is by no means a good movie, giving us a predictable Stepford Wives-esque premise, a lack of blood, a lot of underdeveloped characters and plot-holes, but it's still an enjoyable watch for those late...

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (1973)

John Newland

Didn't really live up to the talk of creepiness for me, but I still found the movie to be interesting. This film is rather hard to find, so most likely you wont see it, but try to at least catch the remake.

Duel (1971)

Steven Speilberg

A classic to be watched by those who enjoy the killer-vehicle/survival-road flicks. Definitely worth a watch.

Eyes of a Stranger (1981)

Ken Wiederhorn

Another underrated slasher from the 80s. Decent death scenes and a believable story and killer. Worth a rent, especially to see a young Jennifer Jason Leigh.

Fear of the Dark (2002)

K.C. Bascombe

The movie proved to be an effective genre effort, despite merely relying on two characters and sticking to only one location the entire time. Had it not been for some of the seemingly rushed sequences towards the end and if...

Frankenhooker (1990)

Frank Henenlotter

A good cheesy horror comedy from director Frank Henenlotter. Lots of gore, and lots of fun. Check this baby out.

Ghost Watch (1992)

Lesley Manning

Although a bit tame compared to the standards of today's modern viewer, it still holds up some of the genuine creepiness that's rarely found in the genre. Shunned after its premiere, the feature has now reached...

Grandmother's House (1989)

Peter Rader

A flawed, but underrated 80's slasher that offers an interesting mystery in the first half that keeps the viewer guessing, while the second half becomes your standard, plot-hole ridden and cliched slasher. Worth a check...

Happy Hell Night (1992)

Brian Owens

Not a bad underrated slasher flick. The undead demonic priest looked pretty cool and there were plenty of dead bodies. Despite it's unoriginality, it entertained me from the start. Worth a check!

He Knows You're Alone (1980)

Armand Mastroianni

Good underrated 80s slasher. Not as cliched as most; the killer doesn't wear a dumb mask. Tom Hank's debut is also in this towards the end. Rent this if you're looking for a good slasher.

Hide and Go Shriek (1988)

Skip Schoolnik

A somewhat above average slasher flick. Has a few cool moments here and there and leads to a very strange ending. Check this film out if you can.

Highway to Hell (1991)

Ate de Jong

Highway to Hell is a fun hour-and-a-half ride of strange characters, silly gags, car chases, and interesting locations. The flick kicks into gear pretty quick and keeps at that pace until the credits roll. Worth a check.

Humanoids From the Deep (1980)

Barbara Peters, Jimmy T. Murakami

A typical cheesy 80's creature flick, but an entertaining one! If you can get through the bad acting and slow parts, you'll be rewarded with a pretty cool little massacre towards the end. Recommended if you're...

Robert C. Hughes

A good addition and slightly more realistic take on the backwoods survival sub-gene. The cast is likable, the foes aren't unbelievable, and the situations are interesting. Definitely worth a check if you like these...

I, Madman (1989)

Tibor Takács

A guilty pleasure. Cheesy, but has an interesting and original plot for a slasher flick. Worth a rent.

John Landis

Fun and entertaining movie. Vampires has sweet glowing eyes. Good story, recommended for all you vamp-fans out there.

Judgement Day (1988)

Ferde Grofé Jr.

A decent and incredibly hard-to-find horror flick. The film has some pacing problems and a predictable ending, but despite its many flaws, I enjoyed what it offered and acknowledge what it tried to deliver the genre. Worth a...

Just Before Dawn (1981)

Jeff Lieberman

One of the better backwoods-type slashers, but slow in parts. Still worth a check if you're a fan of 80's slashers and if you're lookin' to see an early version of Wrong Turn.

Kingdom of the Spiders (1977)

John 'Bud' Cardos

This is a good and classic deadly-spider film, which in some aspects is better than more recent films with a similar theme. Check this one out.

Richard Franklin

A good killer-animal movie about an orang-outang. A bit slow in the beginning, but interesting and entertaining none-the-less. Worth a check.

Lurking Fear (1994)

Nothing original, but a decent watch none-the-less. Has a good amount of cheesy blood and gore, and a cool monster truck to boot. Recommended for those not looking for anything special and an easy-going horror flick that...

Murder (1993)

Lawrence Cheng

A HK movie that has a good story and directing. If you like Asian films then I suggest you check this underrated gem.

Murder Party (2007)

Jeremy Saulnier

A fun low-budget horror-comedy, with humor and characters that actually work. The pacing drags a little around the middle, but picks up and delivers a nice bloody climax. Worth a check.

Neon Maniacs (1985)

Joseph Mangine

A very underated 80s monster flick. If you liked Clive Barker's Nightbreed I suggest you check this film out.

New Year's Evil (1980)

Emmett Alston

This is an unconventional 80's slasher that offers an interesting story and follows a very flawed human killer. The deaths aren't particularly gory, but that didn't really matter since the story and pacing was...

David Acomba

A fun comedy the first hour and a zombie flick in the last 30-minutes, Night Life, is an enjoyable and underrated 80's horror flick. Check it if you can find it.

Noroi (2005)

Kôji Shiraishi

The film's story is told in a realistic documentary style and forces the viewer to pay attention to detail, as we put together clues along-with the journalist. That, combined with the eerie atmospheric music and strange...

Of Unknown Origin (1983)

George P. Cosmatos

In my opinion one of the best and more underrated man-versus-beast flicks available right now. A battle of wills and wits, the movie focuses more developing characters (such as the man's descent into insanity) than...

One Dark Night (1983)

Tom McLoughlin

An underrated 80's movie that doesn't rely on cheesy deaths and gratuitous nudity to keep the audience's attention. Check this if you're looking for an above-average B-flick.

Outpost (2008)

Steve Barker

This was a surprisingly good film thanks to the interesting premise, cool characters, and an underused foe. Added with decent production values and a talented crew, the movie delivers some creepy atmosphere early on, and...

Paperhouse (1981)

Bernard Rose

A good movie to check out if you're looking for an original fantasy horror film with an excellent story. Don't expect much horror though.

Popcorn (1991)

You're typical slasher flick. The plot could have been a lot better, but the film itself was fun to watch and that's why I would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a decent slasher.

Primal Rage (1988)

Vittorio Rambaldi

The film didn't boost the most original premise, but the delivery was effective enough to keep my interest. The make-up effects were above-average and we're given a fair amount of blood and gore. Check this hidden...

Reeker (2005)

Dave Payne

The movie somehow manages to not only pull off an interesting and entertaining watch, but even adds a semi-original villain in the mix. If you're looking for something fun then be sure to add this to your list of flicks...

Road Games (1981)

Richard Franklin

A good watch if you're looking for something different. It's very much like Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, which is what the director was going for since he's such a bitch fan of Hitchcock's work....

Rush Week (1989)

Bob Bralver

A good rent if you're into 80's slasher movies. Not very original, but not many slashers are. The killer wasn't too bad either.

Sauna (2008)

AJ Annila

Being an ambiguous horror film with many layers to it, this will not please everyone. I personally liked the fact that it didn't give the viewer easy answers and forced you to analyze certain scenes in an attempt to...

Scarecrows (1988)

William Wesley

An underrated scarecrow flick. Simple plot with good gore and cool characters. Worth a check if you wanna see a sweet scarecrow movie, but be sure to get your hands on the Uncut version if you wanna see all the gore.

Shakma (1990)

Tom Logan, Hugh Parks

A good movie, with some scares here and there. The ending was a bit of a let down, but the rest of the film was enjoyable. Check this out

Not a bad film. One of the better 80s slashers. Check this out.

James Cummins

Underrated zombie film. Good effects, interesting zombies, and a lot of cheesy-ness. Check this movie out with an open mind.

Nathan J. White

A good and seemingly unknown 80's horror flick. Cool premise and managed to keep my interest, but sadly could have played out the virus-aspect a little better. Still worth a rent.

An underrated haunted house movie. Interesting story and deaths. Not scary, but worth a rent if you can find it.

The Final Terror (1983)

A fun and simple dark comedy that works thanks to the talented director and cast of characters. Worth a check.
