Underrated Horror Movies From The Past 1. Years. Now that it's finally Halloween, it’s possible you might have already blown through all of your favorite horror movies while raiding the Internet for decoration ideas or while painstakingly stitching together your costumes. You might want something a little different from the stalk- and- slash antics of Jason Voorhies and Michael Meyers, or the endless line of zombie and vampire movies out there, and that’s what we’re trying to give you. This is by no means a comprehensive list of underrated horrors, but a gathering of films from the past few years that we suspect might not all be on your radar. And feel free to jump in the comments to talk about all the other lesser- known would- be classics lurking around horror’s fringe. This is a world where Freddy and Jason exist, and Vernon has dedicated his life to honoring their work with similarly horrifying scenarios. The second trope- filled half of the film does take a small nosedive when Vernon takes on the killer persona and mostly fades to the background, but even the stereotypical fare is better than most. Plus, there are cameos from genre stars Robert Englund, Kane Hodder, Zelda Rubinstein and Scott Wilson. Best Horror Movies On Netflix Right Now It.

The 5. 0 Best Horror Movies of the Century (So Far). He’s the only filmmaker with three. Angela Bettis, Vera Farmiga, Rose Byrne and Sarah Polley all come close, with two films a piece. Ruben Fleischer, 2. Colombia Pictures. People often ask why comedy and horror are so difficult to blend with any level of reliable success. Ruben Fleischer’s Zombieland knows what’s what, creating an amusing rogues gallery of zombie apocalypse survivors who are broad and silly, and yet totally relatable and even kind of sweet. Kevin Smith, 2. 01. A2. 4 Films. Tusk is one of those movies that sounds like a joke: a man turns another man into a walrus to fulfill a hole in his heart. Coming from Kevin Smith, one expects it to be jokey, and rest- assured, it is – though not as often as you. What you end up with is a bizarre, creepy, and often hilarious story with a gut- punch of an ending. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, 2. Century Fox. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo.

Lionsgate. Alexandre Aja. In it, a troubled girl stays with a family that is hideously massacred by a grunting lunatic and when the object of her affection, the family. Some have criticized the film. Marina de Van, 2. Wellspring Media. Marina De Van’s 2. De Van plays a woman who accidentally cuts her leg at a party, and quickly becomes obsessed with cutting and extensive self- mutilation. Soon, she is behaving like an addict, renting motel rooms for orgies of gouging. This film hurts to watch, and is often worthy of Bu. We Are What We Are (dir. Jim Mickle, 2. 01. Entertainment One. A remake of the 2. Mexican film of the same name, We Are What We Are is a different kind of cannibal film. Unlike films like Cannibal Holocaust and Green Inferno, We Are What We Are is a quiet, slow- burn film with brilliant performances. It unequivocally takes to task mindlessly following religious traditions by replacing church or prayer with the eating of human flesh. Is a tradition worth carrying on, even if you don. Michael Haneke, 2. Warner Independent Pictures. In 2. 00. 7, Michael Haneke remade his 1. German home invasion thriller in English, essentially revealing his intentions with the first movie. Haneke is clearly making a harsh criticism of the way American films tend to elicit audience bloodlust, and then goes about implicating the audience for waiting to see the villains of his movie get hurt or murdered. And he punishes us with some of the most sickening torture of his career. Land of the Dead (dir. Romero, 2. 00. 5)Universal Pictures. After the commercial success of the Dawn of the Dead remake, Universal Pictures gave Romero the green light to shoot his long in gestation fourth . Retitled Land of the Dead and shaved down from its initial ultra- epic scope, Land is a charming, bloody return to form for the master, an eccentric picture that the studio had no idea how to market and some fans didn. But time has been kind to Land of the Dead; it. But Eugene Clark as the rabble- rousing zombie hero . Final Destination 2 (dir. Ellis, 2. 00. 3)New Line Cinema. The central conceit of Final Destination is a dastardly bit of fatalism: you are supposed to die when you are supposed to die, and if for any reason you escape your certain doom, death itself comes for you any damned way it can. This results in one spectacular demise after another throughout this franchise, but none are grislier – or more worthy of Rube Goldberg – than those found in the second installment. The freeway sequence in particular contains the most terrifying car accident ever captured on film. John Carpenter, 2. Screen Gems. The film that spurred maverick filmmaker John Carpenter flip the bird to Hollywood for more than a decade (and really, that mad- as- hell middle finger is still up) is also one of his most muscular and freakish films. Savaged by critics and ignored by audiences, Ghosts of Mars is yet another in JC. Driven by a pummeling heavy metal/elector Carpenter score, Ghosts is an underrated gem. And Ice Cube has never been better. Read that how you will. Best Horror Movies of the Last Decade . The object of this editorial is to put focus on 1. All of these are available for rent, most of them are on Netflix on demand and certainly your local video store and or amazon will have them for sale. In absolutely no particular order here are 1. Great New Horror Films Everyone Should See.#1 Let Me In / Let The Right One In. It’s a bit odd listing both I admit but for me they both are quite good with their own merits. The original is vicious, intense and a truly fantastic take on the vampire genre with a strong mix of human interest and pre teen love. The remake by Matt Reeves is pretty close to a scene by scene remake but also offers enough new aspects to make it a worthy remake and a film that can stand on its own.#2 The Descent. Neil Marshall is nothing short of a genius and in my view is one of the best story tellers of our time when it comes to horror. From monster movies to apocalyptic stories of mankind`s destruction he really has done it all. Filled with intensity and real scares it will be especially creepy for those of you who like me do not fare well in tight spaces. The sequel The Descent Part 2 is also a fantastic film and frankly if you loved the first one you will love the sequel just as much.#3 . I saw the Hollywood remake Quarantine which starred Jennifer Carpenter first since it was more widely available. As much as I enjoyed Quarantine true to form the original is ten times better. The film follows a Spanish news crew who are shooting a show and tagging along with a local fire team who respond to a simple call and suddenly find themselves under quarantine in a small apartment building as an outbreak runs head long through the building. REC is a fantastic film and a testament to Spanish film making.#4 Trick R Treat. What can I say about Trick R Treat other than to say its the greatest horror anthology since Creepshow. Trick R Treat is an anthology of different stories that all evolve around Halloween and as you discover also have a common link back to each other. Trick R Treat is a must see horror film for true blue horror fans of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you like classic horror or modern horror you will truly appreciate this anthology of stories that takes place on Halloween and carries the theme of you guessed it Trick R Treat. The fact that this film went direct to DVD with very little fanfare is a shame since it is without a doubt one of the Top 1. Martyrs. Martyrs is one of the most complex films I have ever seen. This french horror film has a truly moving story and a script that jumps off the page and draws you in. Intense, disturbing and powerful Martyrs is not only one of the most well crafted french horror films ever made its also the most violent and disturbing. Martyrs is the first film that made my stomach turn and made me hit fast forward but also in the same token kept me glued to my seat to see what happens next. Many speak of A Serbian Film as being the most disturbing film they have ever seen but for me Martyrs is. It is also one of the best written and well thought out horror films of the last 1. A true testament to how a fantastic screenplay can take a film that would otherwise be defined as torture porn and make it much more.#6 Dead Girl: While we are talking about disturbing movies we might as well get the second one out- of- the- way. Dead Girl although not as thought- provoking as Martyrs is still very much a disturbing affair and asks the moral question, if nobody knows that you are doing it, would you do it? We watch as a group of boys spiral into darkness when they find a woman tied to a table in an old abandoned hospital. Dead Girl is highly disturbing and not for the faint of heart but also a film that will make you think and question the moral compass and what truly makes us do the right thing. Very often people will ask me what is a movie you recommend that is truly terrifying. I always hesitate to recommend this movie because it truly is horrifying.#7 Zombieland: I am not sure I can think of a single thing bad to say about Zombieland. It is one of the 1. Zombieland is the funniest zombie buddy comedy flick since Shaun of the Dead. Packed with laughs, hilarious antics, 3. George Romero to this day is the face of zombie movies and is the reason that AMC`s Walking Dead exists today. He not only defined the genre but led many other talented people including Robert Kirkman to make their own zombie projects. When it was announced that Universal was going to be remaking it I was extremely hesitant but once the film was cast with names like Sarah Polley and Zack Snyder was put in place to direct I started to perk up. The remake of Dawn of the Dead is similar in the fact it takes place in a mall but otherwise Zack has taken a classic and made it his own while still paying homage to the original.#9 SAWSAW has spawned an entire franchise of crappy sequels and each one reminds me how awesome the original movie was and how desperately I want more. Based on a fantastic concept of a serial killer teaching his victims lessons it was packed full of thrills and an ending that still makes me smile to this day.#1. Days Later. 28 Days Later spawns the debate is it a zombie movie or is it not a zombie movie? Similar to The walking Dead in that they both share an identical starting point it’s about a man who wakes from a coma in the hospital to find the world overrun by the infected. Fast moving with a zombie like hunger for flesh 2. Days Later is a truly creepy horror film and a fantastic tale of infectious destruction. Directed by Danny Boyle and starring Cillian Murphy I have seen this film no less than 2. Weeks Later no less than a dozen times. I cant wait for 2. Months Later to start being more than just producers talking! Now that you have read my 1. I know its fun to troll me and highlight how much better your writing is then mine but just for once lets see if we can get some productive comments on some great films that people should watch that did not make my list.
