    I agree. For a film to be overated it first needs to be praised, I can't remember House of the Devil getting good reviews or praise (except in their special edition dvd that came with an old school big box VHS, probably the greatest packaging/bonus of all time)

    1. It's not your film
    2. It's good, even great, but it is not the powerhouse that would bring slashers back as it was claimed to when it came out. AKA it couldn't live up to the hype so it is overrated
    OVERRATED: The Exorcist and The Descent, for the simple fact that the Descent didn't deliver on the gore it promised and made itself out to be.
    The Exorcist is a masterpiece on so many levels it's hard to praise it enough. Can't see how this is overrated

    Yes it is overly satanic and very frightening, but it never really got to me. Like people can't stand to watch the film by themselves, but I seriously don't see how, and people don't even like watching the film. I mean it is classic, and masterful, but maybe the hype around it is what makes it overrated.

    When that movie came out though it was frightening people weren't used to movies like that. Of course now people aren't going to find it scary. And the people who do find it scary are people that are normally religious and believe things like that could actually happen. People have different opinions and that's why I don't like commenting on threads like this because of course my opinion is going to be different from others in what they think is over rated and underated.
    Like in my opinion I think Silent Hill was underated, I know many people hate that movie but it was very creepy. As for over rated Paranormal Activity, many non horror fans loved that movie. Within the horror community Cannibal Holocaust it is so over rated I bought it for like $43 and it wasn't even worth $15 imo.

    I agree on all these points...well except paranormal activity as I havent seen that. Silent Hill is one of the best video game -> movie adaptions out there.

    The beauty in The Exorcist is the cinematography/directing, the AMAZING score, the quality acting, and the overwhelming sense of dread throughout.

    Amen on the Tourist Trap. Thats a creepy campfest that never gets old.

    Not too sure how High Tension gets the 'overrated' tag..it's a pretty well done slasher/suspense/horror without all the cgi crap that weighs down alot of modern era films.

    Maybe I'm missing the point..is this overrated on this forum or in general? Martyrs? overrated? how so?

    I think anything with Stephen King or Clive Barkers name attached to it ranks up there as the most overrated crap. I have to say the original [REC], The Silent House, A Serbian Film, and Martyrs rank right up there as some of the best of the past 10 years

    I disagree. I never hear anyone from main stream media hyping up those guys. With in the horror community? sure. Other than that, I think they are pretty low on th radar. But thats just my opinion.

    well, maybe not anything lately overrated..but as a whole. I dont think a King scripted story (other than carrie) is worth a shit. Carpenter gets blacklisted for making The Thing (as it 'bombed' on a big budget gamble), but King and Barker managed to stay afloat on lousy B movies throughout the 90's.

    Anytime either has their hand in the mix you always gets the "From horrormaster ______" thrown all over it for marketing purposes..that is pretty much sums up overrated imo for dozens of shitty films

    I wouldnt go so far to say that everything with King's name on it is overrated. Sure there are shit movies, but for the most part the shit movies are known as shit. I think the stand outs like Cujo, Carrie, Creepshow, and even the Mist are great movies that dont get enough praise except from the horror fans.

    Clive Barker I'll agree on. Midnight Meat Train was not as good as it was hyped and only the first 2 Hellraisers were decent. (though Rawhead Rex is a great brain-off monster movie...even though Barker hates it)

    Terror Train did rock too for Jamie Lee's scream queen days, The Fog was another great from those days.
