Underated horror movies

[daz of the dead]

hey guys this thread is for people to talk about and reccomend what they feel are underated horror movies, cant wait to hear your opinions anyway here are some of mine, 1.the exorcism of emily rose (brilliant, scary and tense) 2.the mothman prophecies ( very well made and creepy) 3.the signal (brutal, funny and shocking) i know there's only 3 but these are 3 strong movies i recommend, any thoughs

Hmmm...Let's see. 1. In Bad Taste (low-brow, disgusting, and hilarious all at once. A classic in my mind) 2. Tucker and Dale vs Evil (newer but not many have seen it- f*cking great!) 3. Parents (1989-w/Randy Quaid of all people! hahaa!) I may think of more...I'm at work and have to go for a minute though...hahaa!

i LOVE mothman prophecies, the cinematography and soundtrack is superb. off the top of my head: The Others starring nichole kidman, old timey english manor home is haunted or something i cant spoil very good watch. the last exorcism, starts like a cheesy POV documentary and ends cheesy but has so many twists that you cannot predict the ending, its just a goddamn maze. the american remake of the grudge. most people wrote this off from faux film snobbery because its an american remake, what most dont know is its the same writer and director as the origional ju-on, he jumped at the chance to retell it with more funding and with ideas on how to overcome the flaws and you get a far more tightly paced flick that in many ways outdoes the original. not extremely, but enough to make it worth watching in its own right as more than a cash in.

Jeepers Creepers

[Sammich]

I find that foreign made horror is not only higher quality is composed of ORIGINAL material, unlike the crappy remakes and sequels being pumped out of Hollywood. Here are a few that come to mind: I Saw the Devil (Korea) Martyrs (France) Mum and Dad (England) Irreversible (France) Srpski Film (Serbia) Inside (France) Silk (Taiwan) Prayer Beads -horror anthology series (Japan)

i agree fully there fulci fan i cant believe jeepers creepers slipped my list, great film although the sequal was terrible

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.

A couple have been said, but I'll back them up: -Parents -Triangle -Session 9 -The Gate -House -Bloody Birthday -Brainscan -Right At Your Door -Witchboard There are more but I'm too tired to think of them.

Is Tucker and Dale VS Evil a horror film? It seems more like a comedy to me. Although I'll agree that it's great regardless of the genre.... 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. If we were recommending films outside of this forum, Day and Dawn are at the top of my list. It never ceases to amaze me how many people know about Night and the Dawn remake, but have no idea the original Dawn and Day even exist. I've learned to accept Dawn04 over the years, but I still can't understand how everyone knows that movie, yet have no idea it's a remake of a far superior film.

The Parent Trap. It's scary as shit at first when you realize Lindsay Lohan's in it, but the director knows that card's been played before and throws in another Lindsay Lohan!
