BUG is a film I tell people to check out often for physiological horror. Conspiracies have never been stronger than today so and the fact that it’s almost all in the hotel room was tense.
Yeah, they disappeared (presumed dead, of course, due to either dehydration, drowning, or death by shark attack) after having been abandoned by their dive tour boat that had taken them scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia. I remember that news story and 'Open Water' was an excellent movie.
Thanks! Certainly be checking the top two in the list as I don't believe I saw either (may have but re-watch is fine too). I wish I could include some of the bangers I was watching during this era but my memory is shot. I was knocking out '7 weekly and 2 overnight DVDs on rental every week for a fair few years in the 00's. I was a Horror addict in a very literal sense. Helped with my anxiety and PTSD issues for whatever reasons.
I've never heard another person mention "Anatomy" before! I rented that movie back in '01 or so, and then bought a copy on VHS. Franka Potente starred in the German films, international hit action/romance movie "Run Lola Run" in 1999 and psychological thriller "The Princess and the Warrior", before crossing over into American films, like "Blow" with Johnny Depp in 2000 and "The Bourne Identity" in 2002. There was a sequel to "Anatomy" made, right after the first one, but it wasn't as good.
3:00 A really good 2000s wolf horror movie/action-adventure movie is 'The Grey' (2011) starring Liam Neeson about a crew of tradesmen returning home from a remote area to their respective homes, but the passenger plane they are on crashes and they struggle to band together for survival while fighting off a pack of wolves picking them off one by one. It's truly fantastic.
May, Ginger Snaps, Slither, and Final Destination 3 are some of my favorite underrated horror movies! I've been starting to get my daughter (14yrs old) into some of my old favorites now 🥰
Love this list! I still have mixed feelings with the horror of the 2000s in general even though it’s the earliest decade I was actually alive for lol so many remakes! Haha So cool to see a list of horror from the 2000s that’s not just remakes and sequels! Haha I actually haven’t seen much of these movies on your list except for Santa’s slay lol that was a fun watch along! I’ve seen horror lists that put title like wrong turn and hard candy as hidden gems, the latter I finally checked out earlier this month! But I appreciate your list for being more deep cuts! Thank you again dark mistress for the recommendations list! Hope we get a deep dive of cursed too! I’m definitely gonna try and check out these picks!
3:00 Not a 2000s movie, but I highly recommend 'The Edge' (1997) starring Sir Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin, Harold Perrineau, and Elle Macpherson, etc. about men surviving a plane crash in a remote area of Alaska while trying to survive, make their way home, and evade a Kodiak bear (played by Bart the Bear) stalking them during the entire journey. Plus, it has a great score by legendary composer, Jerry Goldsmith. :)
2:59 Ha! A couple of years ago, I found and bought 'The Breed' on DVD from a local Value Village for $2.99 which I mainly bought for the cover art and while I was scooping up all sorts of horror movies as cheaply as possible, but I should give the movie a proper viewing. You've inspired me, Kylie. :)
Los abandonados AKA The Abandoned (2006), directed by Nacho Cerdá. Doppelgangers, a remote abandoned farm in Ukraine... Really underrated from the 2000s
This list is definitely giving me some good recommendations like Cursed, stay alive, and shrooms lol but I got a few for you One hour photo is a great thriller starring Robin Williams in one of the few times he plays a bad guy! The movies okay but he’s the reason to watch! Shadow of the vampire is all about the filming of Nosferatu and stars willem dafoe as Max Schreck, the actor who played count orlock in the og classic! It kinda messes with reality and plays up the whole story of schreck actually being a vampire! Queen of the damned is a fun rock musical vampire movie! It’s also got a soundtrack that’s basically all 2000s nu-metal! It’s so awesome if you’re into that stuff like I am lol and it’s so cool to see Aaliyah being the queen herself! RIP Thank you again for the awesome underrated horror list! Can’t wait for the next one!
I've got a few: Dead End (this one's my favorite holiday horror from the 00's) Cigarette Burns (the John Carpenter contribution to Masters of Horror) High Tension (the French horror, a bit more known but I love it and namedrop whenever I can) Noroi: The Curse (one of my favorite Japanese horrors, entirely too slept on) A Tale of Two Sisters (I feel like this used to get talked about way more, but it's my favorite Korean horror of the era)
Oh yeah, Santa's Slay is a hidden gem. It has one of the best openings. Let's not forget Granny's reaction when the kids opened their presents. 😂 Frailty (2001) is super underrated. Bill Paxton did an excellent job. It's a shame the writer didn't do anything else besides one episode of Masters of Horror. Recently we got a killer dog Korean film called Project Silence. It takes place on a bridge. I hope it's good.
My most underrated would be Rogue as it only has 23k logs on Letterboxd and its very good! Honestly one of the better crocodile horror films with a solid story and good effects.
Awesome selection! The Cursed is strangely amazing despite how much of a train wreck it is. If you get the chance check out SS DoomTrooper released back in 2006. I saw it on Syfy as a kid and loved it despite how bad it is. It’s low budget, horrific cgi, terrible accents and goofy Nazi villains. It’s like Dirty Dozen mixed with Wolfenstein. Kinda like Overlord from 2018, but not nearly as well made. I found it really funny though and fun so you might like it.
There are some of them that I hadn't heard about, I will add them to my never-ending list on Letterboxd 👻 there are some that I need to rewatch cause it's been too long, like Open Water and Cry Wolf. I also love bad teen horror from that period, it feels nostalgic and comforting!
Good list, here mine: 10. Wrong Turn 2: Dead End 9. Red Eye 8. Shredder 7. Frozen 6. Land of the Dead 5. Hatchet 4. Dagon 3. Bubba Ho-Tep 2. Shadow of the Vampire 1. Urban Legends: Final Cut Honorable Mentions: Dance of the Dead, Killer Movie, 2001 Maniacs, Cheerleader Massacre, Black Sheep
Of the ones you have mentioned, I do know Santa's Slay. I remember seeing a DVD of it years ago and it just struck me as bizarre since I knew Goldberg was in it since I'm a wrestling fan. I love your underrated lists as I learn about movies that I had no idea about and can potentially add to my future watchlist. So thanks so much for this!! Definitely adding some of these to my own list of future watches!
I'm very late to the party but just to give a recommendation for an underrated 2000's horror, I really really recommend The Hole 2001 (was so good, had to watch it twice). It kinda gave me Saltburn vibes in a wierd way but with the 2000s campiness, I'm obsessed with it, one of my favourite horror movies of 2000s for sure (my absolute favourite tho but not underrated would be Triangle 2009 which I also recommend, this one I recommend going blindly for full enjoyment)
I clicked on this video because I saw Baghead in the thumbnail. I've always been fascinated with the Mumblecore movement of the early 2000's, which seems to be the last major indie film movement in America, at this point. Baghead is an offshoot of the Mumblecore movement, falling into the subgenre of Mumblegore. The biggest filmmaker of that movement is probably Ti West, with his movies like House of the Devil and The Innkeepers. A big part of both of these movements is the cross over of actors and directors, with directors sometimes appearing as actors in other filmmakers movies, like Gerwig in Baghead. I associate You're Next with Mumblegore as well, as it features Joe Swanberg and Ti West in minor rolls, and was written by Simon Barrett who is also associated with Mumblecore. I also wanted to mention my favorite aspect of Cry_Wolf is the whole movie feels like a fan fiction written by a teenager, with the main character Dodger being an impossibly cool Mary Sue. It's funny to me in a way, but it doesn't take away from the film over all.
I was 12-13 when Bones came out. Surprisingly a lot of the other kids around me watched it, cuz of Snoop Dogg. But literally all anyone talked about was the pink blood.
My favorite from the 2000s is a film called Slashers (2001) by Maurice Devereaux...It's shot like a reality tv show, but we see the commercial breaks, and to my knowledge, its the only one shot as though you are watching an episode of the game show, as opposed to watching a movie about a game show...
Well, there's another that's like watching America's Funniest Home Videos called Slashers Gone Wild (2006), it's not related, and it's not very good outside of the concept of an America's Funniest Home Videos-esque contest for Snuff films...
Yes I do catch a lot of your older content. Sometimes I do review them more than once. Hey, got to get my pen and paper to take notes. I can see that Bug make it on Sledges worst horror movie list. I do like taken in some international horror. You never know what you may miss. Open Water, if I remember right the end is like The Perfect Storm. No one survives so how do you know what happened? 🤨😁 Well a few movies to put on a list to try out. 👍🙂 Cursed, is one I watched a while ago. Deep Dive🤔 Do it. 👍 Good cast and Werewolf’s. 😎 Santa Slay, it was a fun watch-along. 😁 I do find some gems on Tubi. 🧐 Anatomy (check) on list. You don’t need to twist my arm. You say try, good enough for me. 😎
@@gleerious as far as movies with unhinged women go, id recommend May as another good early 2000s gem. Audition is also good but is it slow. i know some other modern unhinged women movies but I'm sure you're looking for more 2000s ♡
3 that you didnt mention that are more on the disturbing side are deadly end (2005) and a movie called love object (2004). Perfume (the story of a murderer) is a period piece that is AMAZING!!!! if your into those......Also fido is a VERY underrated zombie flick that nobody ever talks about.
Love the list!!! 💜 If you liked Death Bell I'd recommend a Japanese movie called TAG(2015) it's an underrated hidden Gem. Unfortunately it's not early 2000s so it doesn't count. The opening scene is one of the most insane scenes I've ever seen in a horror movie that alone makes it worth a watch.
After seeing Cry Wolf, Stay Alive, and Cursed on this list, I was hoping that Venom (2005) would also be mentioned. Those four movies were my so bad it's good horror go to's at the time.
"Anatomy" was a bit popular in Spain in the early 2000s. It was available on cable TV, I remember I rented it and watched it with my little brother. After I rewatched "Anatomy" a few years ago I have mixed feelings about it, but I'm still a big fan of Franka Potente. There is a sequel, "Anatomy 2", but I didn't have the courage to watch it... yet.
Also, I have a movie rec if you want more evil dog horror lol White dog (1982) is about a young actress who loves to LA and adopts a dog but she then learns the dog was trained to attack people of color. It’s a very intense and sad watch but I think it’s worth checking out. All the symbolism we discussed with American werewolf in London and all the connection to the nazis are in this movie but it feels even more real. Plus it’s in the criterion collection so you know it’s good!
Warning to fellow letterboxd'rs: There's a Baghead on Shudder that came up as my first search hit, but it's a 2023 movie that is unrelated to the Duplass brothers' film.
No one ever mentions Cold Creek Manor or Glass House. Cold Creek Manor is more of a thriller mystery but its actually pretty good ones of my first "thrillers" I seen in theaters check them out
Great list of underrated 2000s horror, Kylie. I grew up watching Bones and it's not scary but I've always had a fun time for how stupid and ridiculous it is. I'd say Bones and Hide and Seek are underrated.
Omggg ‘BagHead’ ‘Anatomy’ and ‘death bell’ caught my intention immediately !!! I got a few underrated from the 2000s -Timber Falls 2007 - carriers 2009 - splinter 2008 - vacancy 2 2008 - WAZ 2007 ( it stars MELISSA GEORGE )
I think Bones needs a remake or a sequel. Snoop was still a hardcore rapper tht scared ya kids in 2001. Now he’s a household name. It would be even more popular now.
Heyyyy, some underrated movies on my birth year. 😊 🐍 Nice dolls at your background. 🤟 Have you seen snoop dog recent role as a Lego version of himself on “Piece by Piece.” For me, I got at least Top 2 1. Obviously “Ginger snaps.” 2. “Gamera 3 Revenge of iris” 🐢 I don’t care if this movie came close to 2000 but release in 1999 in the eastern side.
@@HauntedHippie well that’s makes him a kinda voice actor because me and my cousin did watched The Garfield movie and snoop dog was there for only one scene.😸
I've heard of The Breed, but you know I can't do that lol. I'm convinced that if I were in a situation like Open Water, I do not have the fortitude to survive. Have you seen Nowhere? 100% would die. I'm gonna add Cry Wolf to my list. I had seen it but never looked into it. 1. The Mothman Prophecy (This one still genuinely scares me and I will never EVER cross that bridge) 2.My Soul To Take (I have never understood why this got so much hate. I enjoy it so much) 3.Feardotcom (This one creeped my husband out and I will never understand, but it was enjoyable). 4. The Number 23 5. Repo The Genetic Opera
Ill throw in a Quebec movie from 2003. Sur le seuil (Evil Words) and it's gloriously early 2000s in style. Creepy cut scenes with industrial music in the background that make no sense with the story.
I really dig Primeval (2007). I like how the trailer makes it look like a serial kiIIer movie. But I’m even more of a fan of Anacondas: Hunt for the Blood Orchid. It’s a better Jungle Cruise movie than Jungle Cruise.
Hell yeah please do a Deep Dive of Cursed 🙏, Cursed is bad but I still love it in a guilty pleasure way hell screw it I just love it in all of cheesiness and I want the damn Craven Cut 🐺🩸🩸
I recommend Sorum if you haven't seen it. It's Korean, only logged in by 868 members, and a bit weird...go in blind. And for Death Bell 2, keep expectations low...
Following your rules, here is a top 10: 1) The Screen at Kamchanod 🇹🇭 135 2) Dumplings 🇹🇼 22 k 3) Shadow of the vampire 🇺🇸 47 k 4) R Point 🇰🇷 4.3 k 5) Infection 🇯🇵 4.1k 6) Dark Water 🇯🇵 56 k 7) Visitor Q 🇯🇵 32 k 8) 4bia 🇹🇭 4k 9) Poultrygeist: Night of the living chickens 🇺🇸 13k 10) Macabre 🇮🇩 8.1 k Disclaimer: the fisrt place is not a typo, it actually only has 135 entries (an somehow ended up in my tv back in highschool). Its the worst of the list? Yep, however, it deserves far more attention. The second is my favorite and for you Kylie, the 8th one its full cheese asian 2000's charm
Hey Haunted Hippie would it be an original story concept if I created a horror movie about Michael Jackson fighting against zombies during the zombie apocalypse?
I've seen a lot of the movie you mentioned. Cry Wolf, Cherry Falls, Cursed, and Breed, definitely underrated. Cry Wolf is cool. Cherry Falls could have been so much better if it was left alone and released as the R-rated movie it was supposed to be. Sadly, the studio pushed and pushed for a PG-13 rating, so it got hacked up. Cursed, as I remember the story, fell victim to so much studio interference as well. It was originally supposed to be R- Rated, and I think the storyline was a bit different originally. The studio pushed for rewrites because they didn't think the original version would do well. Then, more rewrites and cuts to make it PG-13 and give more attention to certain story beats and pull away from others. Then they didn't like this, didn't like that, rewrites, rewrites. What a fucking shit show Wes had to deal with. The studios are still pushing the whole PG-13 horror bullshit. Get then teens in the theaters. And studios complain that their adult audiences aren't showing up. Well, give us a true adult horror movie, and we will. Adults want the intense plot, the gore, the smart, well written characters. A real gross out scary AF good time. Oh Dark One, I don't know if you realized this. There is a sequel to Anatomy. Yep, Anatomy 2. It's also on Tubi. Thank you for this stroll down memory lane of early 2000's horror. Much love from Pennsylvania.❤🦇❤️🦇❤️🦇❤️🦇❤️🦇
In my humble opinion psychedelic drugs are one of the most under-utilized things in the horror genre. The only genuinely great one that I can think of that actually has them as its main theme is Altered States from 1980. After that it's either movies with very brief psychedelic scenes like Midsommar, or just cheap schlock like Shrooms. Where's all the good "bad trip horror" hiding?
_Blue Sunshine_ (1977) _Enter the Void_ (2009) _A Field in England_ (2013) _Climax_ (2018) _Synchronic_ (2019) _Brain Damage_ (1988) _Naked Lunch_ (1991) (These last two are a bit more symbolic, featuring 'trip'-inducing entities and/or fictional substances which may be seen as metaphors for hallucinogens).
@@HauntedHippie You do that! I would have loved to make one myself if I had become a filmmaker like I dreamed of, but I'll be looking forward to what you can come up with the concept 😄
@@bryangarcia5599 oh yeah, I had completely forgotten about Blue Sunshine! A Field in England was good, but I don't remember if they took any drugs in that one, I recall that it was trippy just in a stylistic way. And I personally don't necessarily count Naked Lunch as a horror film, eventhough it was directed by David Cronenberg. But all the other ones I have not yet seen, thanks for the recommendations!
MA'AM Cujo is the only horror dog movie you can think. Pshhh.. You're horror movie card should get revoked 😂😆 jk. You forgot Man's Best Friend. Rottweiler 3D and Devil Dog lol 🤣😆
And as Far as international movies here's a list of amazing JHorror movies from the 2000s 1. Suicide Club 2. The Eye 3. One missed call 4. Dark Water 5. Three extremes 6. Ringu 7. Pulse 8. Reincarnation 9. Shutter 10. I'm adding the tomie series. Let me know if you seen any of these.
For me, May (2002) is the most underrated, because its actually a great movie with an Oscar worthy performance
YES YES YES
May traumatized me when my sister put it on when I was like 6
BUG is a film I tell people to check out often for physiological horror. Conspiracies have never been stronger than today so and the fact that it’s almost all in the hotel room was tense.
Cherry Falls and The Breed are easily the best ones in this bunch. Another in depth review Kylie. Bravo.
omg BONES! i've been waiting for literally any youtuber to talk about it. so cheesy, so fun, it's my go to "so bad its good" horror movie
@@solarvoid777 i never hear anyone talk about Snoop Doggs Hood Of Horror either. I think I may be the only person that owns a copy. Lol
Open Water is based on a true story, Tom and Eileen Lonergan who were left behind by their dive boat. They were never seen again.
Yeah, they disappeared (presumed dead, of course, due to either dehydration, drowning, or death by shark attack) after having been abandoned by their dive tour boat that had taken them scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia. I remember that news story and 'Open Water' was an excellent movie.
Thanks! Certainly be checking the top two in the list as I don't believe I saw either (may have but re-watch is fine too).
I wish I could include some of the bangers I was watching during this era but my memory is shot. I was knocking out '7 weekly and 2 overnight DVDs on rental every week for a fair few years in the 00's. I was a Horror addict in a very literal sense. Helped with my anxiety and PTSD issues for whatever reasons.
I feel that
oml i have missed these videos!!! if you're gonna review a franchise soon can you please do The Conjuring franchise?? istg i miss those videos too.
So glad you mentioned Anatomie. Love that movie. Franka Potenta was considered the German scream queen
I've never heard another person mention "Anatomy" before! I rented that movie back in '01 or so, and then bought a copy on VHS. Franka Potente starred in the German films, international hit action/romance movie "Run Lola Run" in 1999 and psychological thriller "The Princess and the Warrior", before crossing over into American films, like "Blow" with Johnny Depp in 2000 and "The Bourne Identity" in 2002. There was a sequel to "Anatomy" made, right after the first one, but it wasn't as good.
Oo international star love that for her
Hide & Seek (2005) is really good. 12% on Rotten Tomatoes is insane.
That’s actually insane I really liked that movie
@@HauntedHippie perhaps worth a deep dive? No one talks about it.
3:00 A really good 2000s wolf horror movie/action-adventure movie is 'The Grey' (2011) starring Liam Neeson about a crew of tradesmen returning home from a remote area to their respective homes, but the passenger plane they are on crashes and they struggle to band together for survival while fighting off a pack of wolves picking them off one by one.
It's truly fantastic.
Bones is so iconic to my life. It stars literally everyone from various Black shows I watched growing up.
May, Ginger Snaps, Slither, and Final Destination 3 are some of my favorite underrated horror movies! I've been starting to get my daughter (14yrs old) into some of my old favorites now 🥰
Can't wait for your deep dive on Cursed, I think it's a good film and fun. Great video as always Kylie 😊🐾💜👍👋
I love the way the mirror in oculus messes with people's heads mike Flanagan is awesome

Right like people will make underrated lists and then put Ginger Snaps on it and I’m like be so for real 😭
@@HauntedHippie that’s so funny cuz ginger snaps is on that same underrated list I mentioned! So unserious! 😆

One hour photo is a great thriller starring Robin Williams in one of the few times he plays a bad guy! The movies okay but he’s the reason to watch!
Shadow of the vampire is all about the filming of Nosferatu and stars willem dafoe as Max Schreck, the actor who played count orlock in the og classic! It kinda messes with reality and plays up the whole story of schreck actually being a vampire!
Queen of the damned is a fun rock musical vampire movie! It’s also got a soundtrack that’s basically all 2000s nu-metal! It’s so awesome if you’re into that stuff like I am lol and it’s so cool to see Aaliyah being the queen herself! RIP

One hour photo grossed me OUT I was so off put by Williams in that role. The others are on the list!! The Willem Dafoe one especially interests me
@@HauntedHippie just goes to show that the new nosferatu is not the first time Dafoe did a nosferatu film!
I've got a few:
Dead End (this one's my favorite holiday horror from the 00's)
Cigarette Burns (the John Carpenter contribution to Masters of Horror)
High Tension (the French horror, a bit more known but I love it and namedrop whenever I can)
Noroi: The Curse (one of my favorite Japanese horrors, entirely too slept on)
A Tale of Two Sisters (I feel like this used to get talked about way more, but it's my favorite Korean horror of the era)

Recently we got a killer dog Korean film called Project Silence. It takes place on a bridge. I hope it's good.
Hmm bridge horror is lacking so maybe it’ll be good

15:35 Bill Goldberg as a demonic Santa (Krampus?) is unexpected. I hope he did the job in the end and put the movie over.

Cursed, is one I watched a while ago. Deep Dive🤔 Do it. 👍 Good cast and Werewolf’s. 😎
Santa Slay, it was a fun watch-along. 😁 I do find some gems on Tubi. 🧐 Anatomy (check) on list. You don’t need to twist my arm. You say try, good enough for me. 😎
The Loved Ones is one of the best underrated 2000s horror movies
agreed. it's my favorite horror of all time.
@@ivy85313 Do you know similar good ones? There’s so much trash in horror:/
@@gleerious as far as movies with unhinged women go, id recommend May as another good early 2000s gem. Audition is also good but is it slow. i know some other modern unhinged women movies but I'm sure you're looking for more 2000s ♡
@@ivy85313 Thanks! Good choices! I know them all already😂
@@gleerious I see 🙃. have you seen the love witch? that one is decent. and Sissy is a good modern one
Some great 2000's films I never hear anyone talk about:
The Children
Planet Terror
Secret Window
The Last Horror Movie
Stay Alive!!! I love it. So bad but good. Goth Sophia Bush is everything
@@armando7060 Sophia Bush in general🔥
My local theatre did a drunk cinema night and played Cursed. Kinda regretting missing out on that now.
Ahh that sounds so fun 😭😭
3 that you didnt mention that are more on the disturbing side are deadly end (2005) and a movie called love object (2004). Perfume (the story of a murderer) is a period piece that is AMAZING!!!! if your into those......Also fido is a VERY underrated zombie flick that nobody ever talks about.
Bad teen horror needs to be it's own genre bc it's my vibe!!!
Love the list!!! 💜
If you liked Death Bell I'd recommend a Japanese movie called TAG(2015) it's an underrated hidden Gem. Unfortunately it's not early 2000s so it doesn't count.
The opening scene is one of the most insane scenes I've ever seen in a horror movie that alone makes it worth a watch.
After seeing Cry Wolf, Stay Alive, and Cursed on this list, I was hoping that Venom (2005) would also be mentioned. Those four movies were my so bad it's good horror go to's at the time.
Baghead is more late-2000s, like 2007-2009. I do remember seeing that at a theater, though.
Thank you for the commentary it has been good.❤ 👍 😊 ☺️
Stick with the black lipstick, looks perfect on you, haunted hippie 😊
Bug is excellent. Saw it opening weekend. Good stuff.
"Anatomy" was a bit popular in Spain in the early 2000s. It was available on cable TV, I remember I rented it and watched it with my little brother. After I rewatched "Anatomy" a few years ago I have mixed feelings about it, but I'm still a big fan of Franka Potente. There is a sequel, "Anatomy 2", but I didn't have the courage to watch it... yet.
Also, I have a movie rec if you want more evil dog horror lol
White dog (1982) is about a young actress who loves to LA and adopts a dog but she then learns the dog was trained to attack people of color. It’s a very intense and sad watch but I think it’s worth checking out. All the symbolism we discussed with American werewolf in London and all the connection to the nazis are in this movie but it feels even more real. Plus it’s in the criterion collection so you know it’s good!
Warning to fellow letterboxd'rs: There's a Baghead on Shudder that came up as my first search hit, but it's a 2023 movie that is unrelated to the Duplass brothers' film.
I love cherry falls thank you for shouting it out, my top underrated gem
No one ever mentions Cold Creek Manor or Glass House. Cold Creek Manor is more of a thriller mystery but its actually pretty good ones of my first "thrillers" I seen in theaters check them out
more dog horror movies - both from the 1970's: Dogs (yes that is the name) and The Pack
Great list of underrated 2000s horror, Kylie. I grew up watching Bones and it's not scary but I've always had a fun time for how stupid and ridiculous it is.
I'd say Bones and Hide and Seek are underrated.
I love Stay Alive! Lol great list❤
That movie is just awesome!
Omggg ‘BagHead’ ‘Anatomy’ and ‘death bell’ caught my intention immediately !!! I got a few underrated from the 2000s
-Timber Falls 2007
- carriers 2009
- splinter 2008
- vacancy 2 2008
- WAZ 2007 ( it stars MELISSA GEORGE )
Omg I tried to find Waz online specifically for this video and it’s like nowhere. I’ll just have to rent it after all lol
I think Bones needs a remake or a sequel. Snoop was still a hardcore rapper tht scared ya kids in 2001. Now he’s a household name. It would be even more popular now.
I consider The Grudge with Sarah Michelle Gellar to be an underrated masterpiece from 2004 👌
Babe have you seen MAY w. Angela Bettis ?
Bones is entertainingly bad Snoop Dogg is awesome
Oh I am SO DOWN for a Cursed deep dive!!!
In The Breed, one of the guys is Blake Lively’s real life brother
Heyyyy, some underrated movies on my birth year. 😊 🐍
Nice dolls at your background. 🤟
Have you seen snoop dog recent role as a Lego version of himself on “Piece by Piece.”
For me, I got at least Top 2
1. Obviously “Ginger snaps.”
2. “Gamera 3 Revenge of iris” 🐢 I don’t care if this movie came close to 2000 but release in 1999 in the eastern side.
Haha no I didn’t realize he had done any acting recently
@@HauntedHippie well that’s makes him a kinda voice actor because me and my cousin did watched The Garfield movie and snoop dog was there for only one scene.😸
I've heard of The Breed, but you know I can't do that lol.
I'm convinced that if I were in a situation like Open Water, I do not have the fortitude to survive. Have you seen Nowhere? 100% would die.
I'm gonna add Cry Wolf to my list. I had seen it but never looked into it.
1. The Mothman Prophecy (This one still genuinely scares me and I will never EVER cross that bridge)
2.My Soul To Take (I have never understood why this got so much hate. I enjoy it so much)
3.Feardotcom (This one creeped my husband out and I will never understand, but it was enjoyable).
4. The Number 23
5. Repo The Genetic Opera
I absolutely love stay alive dude!!!
Great video, perfect choices 👌
There's an unrated cut of CURSED there are a few more gore scenes and the ending is slightly different.
For pure camp, I always liked "Kracker Jack'd" (2003) [probably went straight to video] 🤣
Ill throw in a Quebec movie from 2003. Sur le seuil (Evil Words) and it's gloriously early 2000s in style. Creepy cut scenes with industrial music in the background that make no sense with the story.
I really dig Primeval (2007). I like how the trailer makes it look like a serial kiIIer movie. But I’m even more of a fan of Anacondas: Hunt for the Blood Orchid. It’s a better Jungle Cruise movie than Jungle Cruise.
@@daneyurchak7921 both are first rate
Hell yeah please do a Deep Dive of Cursed 🙏, Cursed is bad but I still love it in a guilty pleasure way hell screw it I just love it in all of cheesiness and I want the damn Craven Cut 🐺🩸🩸
I don’t even feel guilty in my love for it hahah
@@HauntedHippie hell yeah love to see it haha Lol
I recommend Sorum if you haven't seen it. It's Korean, only logged in by 868 members, and a bit weird...go in blind. And for Death Bell 2, keep expectations low...
I wonder if you've seen May (2002)? not really underrated by your metric but such a great early 00s gem that more people should see
I haven’t!
@@HauntedHippie if you ever do I'd be interested to hear your take on it! takes place on/around Halloween so it's a great October watch
Please review May! It's a must watch for horror girlies! @@HauntedHippie
i thought i was a horror fan but never heard any of these 😣
Bug is a great one !
Santa slay all day baby 😂
The Orphanage is underratated .
Have you ever seen Kill List? 2011 British film. Really worth your time

Disclaimer: the fisrt place is not a typo, it actually only has 135 entries (an somehow ended up in my tv back in highschool). Its the worst of the list? Yep, however, it deserves far more attention. The second is my favorite and for you Kylie, the 8th one its full cheese asian 2000's charm
Hii haunted hippie😊
Hey Haunted Hippie would it be an original story concept if I created a horror movie about Michael Jackson fighting against zombies during the zombie apocalypse?
I LIKE watching Horror movies.
I've seen a lot of the movie you mentioned. Cry Wolf, Cherry Falls, Cursed, and Breed, definitely underrated. Cry Wolf is cool. Cherry Falls could have been so much better if it was left alone and released as the R-rated movie it was supposed to be. Sadly, the studio pushed and pushed for a PG-13 rating, so it got hacked up. Cursed, as I remember the story, fell victim to so much studio interference as well. It was originally supposed to be R- Rated, and I think the storyline was a bit different originally. The studio pushed for rewrites because they didn't think the original version would do well. Then, more rewrites and cuts to make it PG-13 and give more attention to certain story beats and pull away from others. Then they didn't like this, didn't like that, rewrites, rewrites. What a fucking shit show Wes had to deal with. The studios are still pushing the whole PG-13 horror bullshit. Get then teens in the theaters. And studios complain that their adult audiences aren't showing up. Well, give us a true adult horror movie, and we will. Adults want the intense plot, the gore, the smart, well written characters. A real gross out scary AF good time.
Oh Dark One, I don't know if you realized this. There is a sequel to Anatomy. Yep, Anatomy 2. It's also on Tubi.
Thank you for this stroll down memory lane of early 2000's horror.
Much love from Pennsylvania.❤🦇❤️🦇❤️🦇❤️🦇❤️🦇
Cry_Wolf is a favorite of mine!
In my humble opinion psychedelic drugs are one of the most under-utilized things in the horror genre. The only genuinely great one that I can think of that actually has them as its main theme is Altered States from 1980. After that it's either movies with very brief psychedelic scenes like Midsommar, or just cheap schlock like Shrooms. Where's all the good "bad trip horror" hiding?
Right!! I’ll just have to make one
_Blue Sunshine_ (1977)
_Enter the Void_ (2009)
_A Field in England_ (2013)
_Climax_ (2018)
_Synchronic_ (2019)
_Brain Damage_ (1988)
_Naked Lunch_ (1991)
(These last two are a bit more symbolic, featuring 'trip'-inducing entities and/or fictional substances which may be seen as metaphors for hallucinogens).
@@HauntedHippie You do that! I would have loved to make one myself if I had become a filmmaker like I dreamed of, but I'll be looking forward to what you can come up with the concept 😄
@@bryangarcia5599 oh yeah, I had completely forgotten about Blue Sunshine! A Field in England was good, but I don't remember if they took any drugs in that one, I recall that it was trippy just in a stylistic way. And I personally don't necessarily count Naked Lunch as a horror film, eventhough it was directed by David Cronenberg.
But all the other ones I have not yet seen, thanks for the recommendations!
Btw sorry for posting those comments twice, I messed up who I was replying to on my phone and editing them only made it worse 😅
much to my shame I've only heard of/seen Open Water
Darkness Falls is the sh*t
Drakness Falls is the sh*t
MA'AM Cujo is the only horror dog movie you can think. Pshhh.. You're horror movie card should get revoked 😂😆 jk. You forgot Man's Best Friend. Rottweiler 3D and Devil Dog lol 🤣😆
And as Far as international movies here's a list of amazing JHorror movies from the 2000s
1. Suicide Club
2. The Eye
3. One missed call
4. Dark Water
5. Three extremes
6. Ringu
7. Pulse
8. Reincarnation
9. Shutter
10. I'm adding the tomie series. Let me know if you seen any of these.
Stay Alive is my favorite bad movie
