    Underrated/Overrated Horror Films

    Was watching "At The Movies" the other night for their review of the NOES remake and they started talking about overrated and underrated horror films. Was surprised to hear Michael Phillips
    (a critic I respect) say that "The Exorcist" was overrrated He chose "The Descent" as underrated.
    Thought it would be interesting to see what flix people here felt were underrated/overrated.

    IMO:

    "The Blair Witch Project" is way overrated
    "The Hidden" in underrated

    28 days/weeks later - Overrated. Tried watching them on a few occasions hoping something would gauge me in a different direction, but nothing ever came.

    I'm gonna go ahead and say it.....

    RZ's Halloween 2 - Underrated. Zombie took the series in a whole new direction. The kills were good, the gore was there, the acting especially Brad Dourif was great. Well except Compton she was a bit sketchy at times. People get caught in the I hate remakes deal or the I hate Zombie's hack ass deal and miss what I think is a terrific slasher.

    Side note on H2: The theatrical ending is a vastly superior ending compared to the director's cut.

    What an original thread .
    I made this thread when I was a n00b and I recall getting blasted for it from Kmike.
    Good thing I cant read your post since your on my ignore list

    28 Days Later is top 5 in my book and H2 is the most idiotic film ever made. :2far:

    When you "were" a noob?...you still are. You don't have to go on an "ignore" list on my end..People 'round here pretty much discount anything you have to say, including myself. You prolly got blasted from me for saying something dumb and idiotic...like just now.

    Only reason I made the thread is because the critics from At The Movies brought it up and made it popular..

    H2 Sucked. I don't ind remakes as long as they're done well and I loved Zombie's Halloween. H2 was Overrated.

    Has to be well received, which it obviously isn't, to be overrated.

    Blair With Project is highly overrated and hands down the shittiest movie I have ever seen saying something as I am a Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan. Rob Zombies H2 doesn't deserve a rating that goes somewhere else on the crap meter. Well for me as overrated is concerned is The Ring. I still haven't seen the whole movie as it puts me to sleep.

    haha...i thought i was the only one who thought 28 days later was overrated. I loved the first half of that film but the second half (with the military and all that) bored me. I LITERALLY fell asleep drooling on my gf's shoulder haha.

    A movie that has favorable opinions that I dislike is American Psycho.
    Altered is a movie I think is not talked enough about.

    Trick r Treat and House of the Devil would be on my criminally underrated list as far as newer movies are concerned.

    I'd give you House of the Devil, but Trick 'r Treat? I must be in the minority about that one, because I didn't think it was anywhere near as good as word of mouth made it out to be.
