Underated horror movies

[rongravy]

I think that it is much more than a "horror" movie, but that would be the easiest way to categorize it (and that it how it is in fact categorized) and that movie would be "Triangle". I am shocked that it doesnt have a higher rating on imdb, but I give it my strongest recommendation. And although it is not a zombie film at all, I rank "Triangle" as my second favorite movie of all time, behind GAR's Dawn of the Dead. Really? I haven't seen it, but I saw it was on one of the Showtime channels. I figured that it probably sucked, but I'll give 'er... I'm not a huge horror fan, but Night of the Creeps and The Omega Man come to mind. NOC is cheesy as all hell, but it's fun and has some creepy moments. I mention TOM because I often bring it up while people are discussing Will Smith's I Am Legend and they have no idea that the story has been filmed before. Three times, actually. Heston's is the best, imo. About time someone else gives NOTC some love. I've been pushing it for eons, with not many takers. And heck yeah, Omega Man. Will Smith can suck it.

Superstition. Right on. I should have remembered to include this. Finally got this on DVD a few months back. The price on this movie is actually down right now, for whatever reason, so you all should jump on it! I'd like to add Stir Of Echoes to my list, as well.

What about HOUSE (1986) Fright Night (1985) The People Under The Stairs (1992)

The Car (1977) Duel (1971)

the Gorgon. Hammer flick from 1964. cushing, lee, etc. it is a bit creaky by today's standards but still great. Burnt Offerings from 1976. an oliver reed haunted house flick. Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter. one of the last Hammer flicks. if you haven't seen this one, do us all a favor and throw yourself from a bridge. Vampire. a 1979 movie starring jason miller, richard lynch and E.G. Marshall. hard to find but worth the search. -- -------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ---------- About time someone else gives NOTC some love.

Night of the Creeps is an awesome movie. cheesy? yes. buried deep in 80s idiocy? yes. but it is still a fun movie. the haters can suck a dick on this one.

Night of the creeps isn't underated. Everyone who loves the genre holds it in high esteem. As they should. Other Hammer goodness: the devil rides out and the plague of the zombies.

What about HOUSE (1986) .... The People Under The Stairs (1992) Deej - I believe the title of the thread mentioned "horror" movies, not "unintentional comedies" I will, however, have to give kudos to ya for Fright Night. Night of the Creeps is an awesome movie. cheesy? yes. buried deep in 80s idiocy? yes. but it is still a fun movie. the haters can suck a dick on this one. ^ This.

I too thought The People Under The Stairs was ridiculous in the worst of ways. My wife loves it and recently made me sit down to watch it for the second time since it's release.....yup.....still awful.

'Horror Express' (1972) 'Creep' (2004)

Deej - I believe the title of the thread mentioned "horror" movies, not "unintentional comedies" I will, however, have to give kudos to ya for Fright Night. No offense, but if you knock House you're not a true horror fan! All of the comedy in it was completely intentional, too. C'mon!

[LouCipherr]

No offense, but if you knock House you're not a true horror fan! All of the comedy in it was completely intentional, too. C'mon! There was no knock of House whatsoever - I love that movie! And while I realize the comedy was indeed intentional, who can resist the temptation to poke Dj with a stick? Certainly not I.

having watched 'city of the living dead' last night im gonna add it to my list, because i hear alot of negativity, but i thought it was a very well shot and made horror movie, and i now cannot wait to see 'the beyond'

[Mike70]

'Horror Express' (1972) peter cushing's character (very indignantly): "one of us the monster?! We're British, you know."

having watched 'city of the living dead' last night im gonna add it to my list, because i hear alot of negativity, but i thought it was a very well shot and made horror movie, and i now cannot wait to see 'the beyond' City... had little plot but great gore and a good soundtrack (pretty much the case for all of Fulci's films). The Beyond is his best. See Zombie if you haven't already, too.

peter cushing's character (very indignantly): "one of us the monster?! We're British, you know." My favorite line in the whole show. Peter Cushing, Chris Lee and Tele Savalas....you can't beat that.
