Underrated Movies

[Titanosaurus]

Both Psycho II and Psycho III.
Event Horizon.
William Girdler's Grizzly.:lol2:

[slimeisacharacter]

Event Horizon would be my choice. Known by most horror folks, but really under appreciated film in general.

[C.H.U.D.]

-Midnight (hillbilly satanists always rule!)
-The Deadly Spawn (gory alien monsters who will kick your ass)
-Killer Workout aka Aerobicide (hilariously "80's" slasher)
-The Rejuvenator (gooey experiements!)
-Cut & Run (more of a cannibal/jungle/exploitation)
-Blood Freak (pro-Jesus, anti-drug, turkey monster 70's flick)

...just a few lesser known titles that come to mind.

[Moar Brains]

Videodrome - Haven't heard many people talk about it, it's great.
Bug - William Friedkin + Psychological Thriller = Masterpiece.
Schramm - Really great psychological journey through a disturbed mind.
Blood Feast 2: All You Can Eat - Intentionally funny this time. Hilarious.
Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon - No-one talks about how great this movie is. Haha.

Ha! Cut and Run - Michael Berryman and Willie "Buddy" Aames ( Charles in Charge fan)
Never hear anyone mention this. Pretty good flick.
Killer Workout....I have that under the title Bitch Witch, was hoping they'd release it and clean up the picture.
Gotta love the Deadly Spawn, especially when that lady gets her face ripped off. And the kid gets my vote for toughest kid in ever in a movie. He stood there and watched his mom's severed head get devoured by monsters and took it like a man!

Was Midnight about the girl who gets molested by her step dad and runs away only to be caught by some weirdos? I know there are 2 movies w/ the same name, but that's the only one I can remember.

Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon - No-one talks about how great this movie is. Haha.

Already a classic to me. One of the very best horror movies of this decade. The only pure slashers I hold higher are Halloween '78 and Sleepaway Camp 1 +2 and Friday the 13th. I exclude NOES and Child's Play. Not slashers to me.

Yeah, that's the same "Midnight" I was talking about. Cool flick, not for everybody though.

Great point, incredibly Event Horizon is totally underrated. Freaky as hell too, literally. Frailty is another that is not paid enough recognition.

"Where we are going, we don't need eyes to see". Used to be so scared when he turned around to face the camera after he said that.
Frailty was excellent, I don't hear much about that movie either which is strange.

Gotta agree with Leslie Vernon, that was one of the best slasher/ newer films I've seen in a long time.

And yes, I would also agree Midnight is not for everyone andwas pretty young when I saw it too! Really great list of movies in here!

Haha, it was straight to DVD I believe right? Cause I got it in a special edition alongside 2 other movies.

[westerveld]

Final Destination 2 - the way they die, although a bit lame, is scary - the thought of death coming after you. Gave me a few nightmares

Santa's Slay

[strtfghtr]

Santa's Slay is def under-rated, infact I'm watching it tonight with the GF's parents.

I don't know about the Leprechauns...they might be over rated.

I enjoyed the original Toolbox Murders but a lot of people disliked it.

[levil666]

I just enjoy the Leprechaun series, except for 4. I still can't get over the "alien death sentence." I am glad I'm not the only one to like Santa's Slay. The opening scene made me think it was going to be an A lister with Chris Kataan, James Caan and Fran Dresher. Oh how I laughed...

[Titanosaurus]

"Creature" (1985). Esentially, it's an "Alien" rip-off, but a damn fun one. It also had two things Alien didn't have-sex and over-the-top violence!

"Abberation" (1997). An odd ecological horror flick about two people terrorized by mutant geckos in a cabin during the winter. The only thing that killed the atmospheric, 80's vibe this movie had going on was the terrible CGI (the close-ups of the geckos were puppets.)
