Man, i gotta say WOW. I remember your channel from years ago when i was in high school trying to find horror movie recommendations and forgot your handle name, pulled up this one today and didnt catch on that it was YOU until I went to browse your channel. I had thought it was funny that you mentioned Bad Ronald in this one because I remember that recommendation from your old videos and I LOVED IT, but i didn't catch on that it was you haha. I also only found Suspiria back then because of you. So THANK YOU for Bad Ronald and Suspiria, you look awesome, man. What a change.
Here's my picks; All Hallow's Eve, the Poughkeepsie Tapes, I Saw the Devil, the Wailing, Grotesque, Frontiers, Frailty, Coming Soon (Thailand), C.H.U.D., the Beast Within, the Devil's Backbone, Trick or Treat (1980s version with Gene Simmons), Last Shift, Let Us Prey, Baskin, Grave Encounters, etc...
The Poughkeepsie tapes should be used as bait to lure out the people that belong on a psychos register. Even human centipede has more artist value to it than the snuff compilation that is Poughkeepsie tapes
I like this guy. He seems very genuine & the fact that he spoke in front of the camera for nearly 25 mins without cutting should definitely be applauded. Keep up the good work!
Did I misunderstand or is that in error regarding the Gorillaz doing Ravenous sound track. I listened to it quickly but didn't hear anything from the Gorillaz let alone a full score??
Pavle Djordjevic Nothing to do with Gorillaz. Gorillaz is basically Damon Albarn of Blur fame. Damon Albarn and Michael Nyman composed the Ravenous soundtrack.
horroraddict do many super creepy parts. The old man/woman on the bicycle, the mommy’s day demon kids, the woman around on all fours and a twisted head and doing that giggle. So underrated
Freaked Body Bags Nightbreed Night of the Creeps Shocker Rubber Microwave Massacre Terror Toons Dolls Tales From The Hood (Nobody seems to know this one, I thought it was great!) Street Trash is one of my favorites... Such a perfect movie
Angel Heart is criminally underrated. Mickey Rourke and Robert De Niro’s performances deserve high praise; and Alan Parker’s writing and directing are top notch in this film.
Cool list. I love when people talk about anything that is not main-stream when it comes to horror. For underrated ones I would go with - Dolls, April Fools Day, Motel Hell, From a Whisper to a Scream, Ginger Snaps and Ghoulies II. Those are off the top of my head anyways. Oh and Troll (not the second one, that gets tons of attention).
To me the 2013 remake of the evil dead is underrated. I also have a feeling the new ouija origin of evil movie will be underrated it was actually really good.
Check these out if you haven’t!! Deep Rising, 2LDK, The Burning, The Endless, Green Room, I Saw What You Did, Last Shift, Martin, Oculus, Raw (French), Street Trash, Teeth, Timecrimes, What Have You Done To Solange! I feel like these are incredibly underrated! Check them out if you dig horror!
While looking at Top 10, Top 50 and even Top 100 lists of Best horror films, I never see 'Jacob's ladder' on any of these. I find it strange because it is an A-class movie with a famous director and cast and it is also very original and unsettling. It was quite popular when I was in highschool but I hardly hear it being mentioned nowadays. It is one of my very favourite films.
Glad u did Pet Semetary 2 on this one, Shawn. I'm a fan of Edward Furlong, too. I'm sure I saw it yrs ago..as I'm a big fan of Stephen King stories. I got it recently for $5 @ Wmart..so I need 2 re-watch it..as u inspired me to. Thx 4 all ur reviews 🙂🙂☮☮✌✌💕💕
Phantom of the Paradise is my annual Halloween number one movie. Brian de Palma made this movie right before he made Carrie, It has the same kind of color palette but it is a rock musical second only to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Paul Williams stars in it and he made all the music which makes it so incredibly memorable. Phoenix terrifies me when she sings. I don't know why, it's so moving and touching, but the timber of her voice just hits me sideways.
YES! 'Candyman' is super, super underrated. I first saw that as a kid and growing up I never understood why it doesn't get THAT much attention. The atmosphere, the music, and Tony Todd as 'Candyman' is just absolutely perfect!
Leprechaun bring s back so many memories. I remember showing that to my brother when he was like 6 years old and my mom got so mad at me because he wouldn't go to bed unless the lights were on for like 3 months. At the time he loved Batman and Michael Keaton so I tried to tell him that the Leprechaun was just Michael Keaton on his knees in the costume to get him to not be scared. Oh man, it's cracking me up all over again lol!
Some of these films go wayyyy back but they definitely jump out as horror anomalies. The other(not the Nicole Kidman movie the others), deathdream, the bad seed, orphan, the orphanage to name a few.
My heart stopped beating when I looked in the background of this video and saw that prayer clock especially in a pile of horror memorabilia. We used to have two in our house which have now been removed due to really creepy events involving it going off at night with new batteries and no alarms set. I almost passed out when I saw it since I haven’t seen one since we threw both away.
The Old Dark House (1932). The invisible Man (1933). Mad Love (1935). Werewolf of London (1935). Tarantula (1955). The Bad Seed (1956). The Black Scorpion (1957). What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962). Straight-Jacket (1964). The Collector (1965). Spider Baby (1967). Twisted Nerve (1968). Dr. Jekyll & Sister Hyde (1971). See No Evil (1971). Frenzy (1972). Flesh For Frankenstein (1973). Deranged (1974). Bug (1975). Shivers (1975). Alice, Sweet Alice (1976). The Sentinel (1977). Magic (1978). The Driller Killer (1979). Prophecy (1979).
awesome video! i love so many of these as well! candyman, may, hotel hell, pet sematart 2, near dark, the stuff, blood rage, and suspiria are so amazing. definitely make more of these videos! :) some films that i really like and consider to be underrated are laid to rest, drag me to hell, graduation day, mothers day remake, no one lives, two evil eyes, and tourist trap (to name a few, lol).
Thanks for the list! I watched Phantom of the Mall this morning, I had a blast. I noticed Mac's dad from Always Sunny played the arsonist and Cort from Friday the 13th part 6 played the owner's son lol. Can't wait to watch some others from your video!
I've been watching alot of good under rated horror films for the past few months on Netflix, I think they have the best selection of horror gems... the den, youre' next, the shrine, trollhunter, starry eyes, Exeter, dark summer, let's prey, dark was the night, would you rather. some earlier horror films I also think are underrated are ginger snaps, dog soldiers, joyride, venom, disturbia, the faculty, the signal, 28 days later, and gothika. good video. keep doing your thing man.
I really enjoyed your picks! Looked up all trailer and read reviews for all of them. On a side-note, I don't think Suspiria isn't underrated at all. Nicolas Refn Wern doing the remake is legit the best idea I've heard for a remake!
I'm so glad you mentioned my favorite movie of all time; May! You did call Angela Bettis "Angela Bates" twice, but I forgive you! The movies I always recommend are: May Love Object The Loved Ones Murder Party April Fool's Day Behind the Mask Parents Red State You had a great list! I was surprised to see a few that I didn't recognize. Kudos!
1) The Night Flyer (HBO '97) is amazing. 2) The bedroom window (1986) is a very cool film. 3) Jack Frost (horror not Michael Keaton film) 4) Sorry Wrong Number is a classic "film noir" from 1948.
So I'm looking for horror recommendations for October, having seen just about everything. I click on this one and think "this guy sounds familiar but I cant place his face." I look through your older videos to discover that you used to look verrrry different. Congrats dude! You look much healthier, I hope you feel better too.
Near Dark has always been one of my favorite vampire movies. Between the cast and the story, it was just awesome. And, the barroom scene was one of the best in the entire film.
Your enthusiasm is infectious! And MAJOR props for mentioning Bad Ronald. I remember that as kid (I'm old lol and remember this from TV back in the 70s). Could be remade so great today by a skilled writer. I am not as schooled on horror as many others, but I would include Death Watch (Kind of horror). Love that movie. Never hear it talked about. Going to look into some of these you mentioned. Thanks!
One of my favorite underrated horror movies is the descent, the music, Acting, and story everything is great! Also the original Halloween 2 is underrated too one of the best horror sequels of all time
It's a given that foreign horror films will always be criminally under-rated. A few of my favorites are: The Cremator (Czechoslovakia - 1969); Kwaidan (Japan - 1964); Onibaba (Japan - 1964); Krysař (Germany - 1986); Rapture (Spain - 1980); Kuroneko (Japan - 1968) and The Phone Box (Spain - 1972). Here's a couple of older British horror films that seem to be nearly forgotten; The Innocents from 1961; The Haunting from 1963 and Dead of Night from1945.
Ginger Snaps is incredible, think about it it may not be even placed in the horror genre, but I have no idea where else it would fit... its got gore and a few jumpscares but it isn't exactly like Friday the 13th type horror so I assume it is just a mature movie?
That hot chick that stars in Ginger snaps was in a more recent movie where she dropped out of medical school and was working doin underground surgery for some criminals and she was cutting up and torturing the shit out of her professor that raped her.. That chick was born to star in horror movies in my opinion..I thought that one was pretty good up to the ending.. Anybody know the name of that flick.?
The82bstewart I haven't seen the movie but I think I remember Katherine Isabelle starring in a movie recently called Bloody Mary? Although that seems unlikely.
great choices Shawn ... dude I love The Stuff , Motel Hell , Phantom Of The Mall and Street Trash ... another one of my all time favorite Horror films is The Pit which is a film many people forget
I love the candyman movies one of my favorite slasher movie series. Its just as good as friday the 13th, nightmare on elm street, and Halloween in my personal opinion
Here's a few to check out if you haven't seen already; -Dead of Night (1974) -Deranged: Confessions of a Necrophile (1974) -Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (1972) -Hunter's Blood (1986) -The Sentinel (1977) -The Devil's Candy (2015) -Long Weekend (1978) -Combat Shock (1984/6), not so much horror, but same vibe as Street Trash
Gore is not horror. Buckets of Blood and missing limbs or not scary but what might be around the corner or down the street and you don't know is scary. I saw the first Candyman. Like the original Night of the Living Dead you don't see blood you barely see a zombie but it's scary as hell because it winds up your mind and the theater of the mind is where horror takes place!
I think the main problem with Screamers was the romance. It comes to late in the movie and felt forced. But Dan O' Bannon is one of my favorite screenwriters, and it's all the snappy dialogue. But Yeah Screamers is under rated because most of the film was strong but as it drew closer to the end it started to feel weaker.
I agree totally with Society. It amazes me how few people have seen it. Screamers too. I bought Ravenous right after watching it. May is one of my favorites. I was the only person I knew for a decade who admitted to liking Street Trash! Motel Hell left me cold in the old days, but I get a kick out of it now. NEAR DARK is so much cooler than Lost Boys even though it has that cop out ending. Lance Henriksen is terrific in it. I love Larry Cohen movies, especially those with Michael Moriarty!
Bodycount, Slaughter High, Lifeforce, Trick or Treat, The Ruins, Banshee Chapter, The Unholy, Waxwork, Ghost Story and National Lampoon's Class Reunion always an enjoyable watch.
Great video Dude! I started watching it with the intent of just watching a few minutes, but ended up watching it all. I watch vids like this and hope to see movies I've never seen. But, most of the time the movies are OVERrated or are mainstream movies like 'Nightmare On Elm Street'. Almost half the movies you listed are movies I've never seen or never even heard of. You have some REALLY obscure movies, and that is rare. I like that. 🤘
great video man!! by the way I've been tryna find a movie I saw on like HBO prolly 15 years ago or more.. I don't know the title, but it was like sci-fi horror.. and all I remember was a few scenes.. one scene of like a black woman, or man.. was lifting up the front of a car off the ground while people were tryna drive away, and she had like a metal arm.. another scene of a guy and woman making out I'm a porter potty.. and there's a boob shot in there.. and idk, like teen like kids running through the woods from lights that would find them wherever they went.. like they couldn't escape.. if this rings any bells please help me out with any information you may have! thank-you, I've been tryna find this movie for years.
Hi Great videos , As an English horror fan and collector have you ever seen the 1988 fright night 2 movie on dvd . I cant seem to find on dvd in England UK . Best Wishes Nick
I remember when I first watch 'Society' back in the day. Never have the words wtf been better used! Only 'From Dusk to Dawn does the twist into insanity even gets close. Cool channel!😎
I'd like to add 'The Borderlands'. I normally hate found footage films, but this was an amazinggly creepy movie. If you've not seen it, do so. Be warned, it is slow building and there so no gore.
Screamers is based off of a short story by Philip K Dick. I highly recommend the movie and the story! Philip K Dick had so many great film adaptations and I don't think that enough people know about how great of a writer he really was.
wow dude it's been 4ever since ive seen a vid of you, one of the 1st youtubers i watched years n years ago, you totally changed physically \m/awesome mayne👍🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧
To underrated ones that you forgot or missed. Our galaxy of Terror and Terror in the aisles. The first one to me is a great scary movie in space even though it's low budget it's very underrated. And Terror in the aisles is more of a documentary but it gets you hooked and shows you why we love this stuff. Again very underrated almost never talked about.
That's a great list, loads of unknown ones to me. Nice one. The Clown at Midnight is another great really creepy one. And Chopping Mall. Near Dark is so under rated. And It almost shocks me that Halloween 3 is your favourite out of that whole franchise, everyone's different though and I agree that it could and should have been a stand alone film because Michael Myers isn't in it. I think it's a great film though.
I think you're correct, Susperia is the best. Here is something about that movie you probably never herd of. I saw this when it first came out. The trailer for the movie had a scene that was great, but it wasn't in the movie. I'm sure it was made just for the preview because it really had nothing to do with the movie. You would see some woman I believe, with long hair, from the back, sitting in her room brushing her hair, then she would turn around and she had a skull as a head. Skulls were really big, and cool in the 70's and early 80's. Now I am going to watch Blood Rage, I hope it is at least as good as you say it is.
It's funny how the term "underrated" depends entirely on where your exposure to a topic comes from.Suspiria is an incredible film and to me and the circle of horror/film fans I know of it is given credit as such. If I were to create my own subjective list of underrated horror I suppose I'd go with Possesion(1981), Repulsion(1965), The Devils(1971), Bug(2007), Martyrs(2007), Nekromantik(1987), Excision(2012), Basketcase(1982) and Under the Skin(2014).Now even my list is totally speculative and debatable. Martyrs and Under the skin are highly regarded by some.the only 2 films I picked that I feel can truly be called underrated being Possesion and The Devils but Possesion has gained some recognition in the last 2 years since Andrez Zulawski died and The Devils isn't definitive horror.Really the more appropriate title for lists like these would be "Movies I think deserve more recognition from a mainstream audience".Why did I bother writing this?
Some good movies there ( Halloween 3)! As underrated movies are concerned; I've always liked The Sentinel (1977) , The Return of the LIving Dead, Rosemary's Baby, Scanners, The Changeling(1980) and The Lady In White. Some really good mentions here in the comments especially Whatever Happened to Baby Jane!
Great picks. I think I told this story before on my old "sfighter991" channel, when I first saw "Halloween 3:Season of the Witch" on AMC when they were showing all of the "Halloween" movies, well except for the first one, I was pretty much like everyone else, I hated it. I didn't like the idea of a "Halloween" movie with the title slasher. Especially considering the first I think I sat through was "Halloween 4:The Return of Michael Myers". However, in a twist of fate that I doubt will surprise anybody, I let the movie grow on me, nowadays I really like it. The original story allows the movie to stand on it's own, I liked the creepy synthesizer music, the grotesque deaths, and the acting. I definitely consider it one of the better "Halloween" movies. Makes me wish they just stuck with the idea of making the remaining "Halloween" movie an anthology series. Who knew years later the idea of a "Halloween Anthology" movie would be resurrected in the form of 2007's "Trick R' Treat" (even though I still have yet to see it).
Stakeland is another movie that is greatly overlooked by the mainstream, low budget and highly underrated in my opinion.. Im so glad to hear its getting a sequel.
First time here: The Prowler and The town that dreaded sundown (original); especially the latter set the mood for the coming slasher movies: Halloween, Friday...etc
If I weren't already subscribed, I would've instantly hit subscribe for the _Halloween III_ mention alone. It's my favorite of the Halloween series as well. Great list of movies, Shawn! Super jealous you were able to acquire _Phantom of the Mall,_ I've been looking for that one everywhere!
Man, i gotta say WOW. I remember your channel from years ago when i was in high school trying to find horror movie recommendations and forgot your handle name, pulled up this one today and didnt catch on that it was YOU until I went to browse your channel. I had thought it was funny that you mentioned Bad Ronald in this one because I remember that recommendation from your old videos and I LOVED IT, but i didn't catch on that it was you haha. I also only found Suspiria back then because of you. So THANK YOU for Bad Ronald and Suspiria, you look awesome, man. What a change.
Here's my picks;
All Hallow's Eve, the Poughkeepsie Tapes, I Saw the Devil, the Wailing, Grotesque, Frontiers, Frailty, Coming Soon (Thailand), C.H.U.D., the Beast Within, the Devil's Backbone, Trick or Treat (1980s version with Gene Simmons), Last Shift, Let Us Prey, Baskin, Grave Encounters, etc...
The Wailing is in my top 3 ever.
i agree with a lot of ur choices but last shift really sucked! the wailing was awesome
The Poughkeepsie tapes should be used as bait to lure out the people that belong on a psychos register.
Even human centipede has more artist value to it than the snuff compilation that is Poughkeepsie tapes
The Wailing is the best horror movie I've seen in the last 20 years.
lol Suspiria isnt even close to underrated. That movie gets more hype than any other flicks from the 70s
shoaib btt Suspiria is really just an inspirational movie. The music and atmosphere paved the way for many other movies.
Hate susperia . If anything it s OVERrated
SHONUFF Well technically Demons is a Lamberto Bava film, but if you want to watch an underrated Argento film, watch Phenomena
Halloween.....1978 all I'm saying
@@the80shorrorgirl Phenomina is a shit movie.
I like this guy. He seems very genuine & the fact that he spoke in front of the camera for nearly 25 mins without cutting should definitely be applauded. Keep up the good work!
"The People Under The Stairs" Not quite a full-on "Horror" movie, but creepy, unique and underated for sure.
Totally one of my favorites
gurleyz People under the stairs scared me something about it is unsettling
_The People Under the Stairs_ is FOR SURE a horror movie.
So glad you gave Motel Hell a mention.
I love ravenous! Doesn't get as much attention as it should, good pick for the list.
Totally doesn't but such a awesome movie
Collecting Plastic Just the soundtrack is worthy of an oscar!
The trailer for it was always super memorable to me
Did I misunderstand or is that in error regarding the Gorillaz doing Ravenous sound track. I listened to it quickly but didn't hear anything from the Gorillaz let alone a full score??
Pavle Djordjevic Nothing to do with Gorillaz. Gorillaz is basically Damon Albarn of Blur fame. Damon Albarn and Michael Nyman composed the Ravenous soundtrack.
Great list!
I'd recommend In the Mouth of Madness. Not enough people talk about this, at least in my circles...
darthboxOriginal that movie is scary as hell
Yeah and Prince of Darkness.
In the Mouth of Madness is a really good one. We grew up with it I never hear anyone bring it up. But in Utah horror fans seem far and few in between
horroraddict do many super creepy parts. The old man/woman on the bicycle, the mommy’s day demon kids, the woman around on all fours and a twisted head and doing that giggle. So underrated
@@jonathanradnidge3368 I agree and awesome ending!!
Freaked
Body Bags
Nightbreed
Night of the Creeps
Shocker
Rubber
Microwave Massacre
Terror Toons
Dolls
Tales From The Hood (Nobody seems to know this one, I thought it was great!)
Street Trash is one of my favorites... Such a perfect movie
Low Hanging Lights - Yep its rare you find one so good. Have you seen "Body Bags"? Its a good 3 story comp too,
Low Hanging Lights - Its on youtube in full if you haven't
video ID = Pb51aSiwUEA
Microwave Massacre and Shocker for sure! Night of the Creeps another great one.
Clownsec yeah tales from the hood very under rated has spike Lee directing a horror movie
You never hear about Nightbreed, Tales from the Darkside, and Tales from the hood. Good stuff.
Angel Heart is criminally underrated. Mickey Rourke and Robert De Niro’s performances deserve high praise; and Alan Parker’s writing and directing are top notch in this film.
I just finished watching Dr Giggles for the first time sense I was a kid, I really enjoyed it. I think it's really underrated.
Candyman is criminally underrated. Beyond the main story it has so many different racial, romantic, and sad undertones. And that score was amazing.
Tales From the Crypt Presents Demon Knight
Like that one a lot and i really like Bordello of blood as well.
Excellent movie. Billy Zane is outstanding in it!
@@rddav1 if it makes ya feel good do it! 🤣🤣 scary and hilarious at the same time! Great film.
The Media Raptor Criminally Underrated! I wish more people could watch that film.
Cool list. I love when people talk about anything that is not main-stream when it comes to horror.
For underrated ones I would go with - Dolls, April Fools Day, Motel Hell, From a Whisper to a Scream, Ginger Snaps and Ghoulies II. Those are off the top of my head anyways. Oh and Troll (not the second one, that gets tons of attention).
Thanks. Love talking about stuff that is not main stream. Also your other movies you listed are awesome. Love them all.
To me the 2013 remake of the evil dead is underrated. I also have a feeling the new ouija origin of evil movie will be underrated it was actually really good.
Really look forward to seeing the new Ouija and I agree I liked The Evil Dead Remake a lot as well.
"I heard you're looking for underrated films, bitch."
screamwall rick and morty reference
No, it's a Candyman reference :-)
screamwall hahaha
Great list. Love Candyman, Near Dark, The Stuff and Halloween 3. Four of my favorite horror flicks.
Thanks so much for watching.
Agreed! MAY is by far one of the most twisted and atmospheric movies I have ever watched!
Ravenous is such a masterpiece.
I really loved Trick R Treat, I think that one is really good.
Check these out if you haven’t!!
Deep Rising, 2LDK, The Burning, The Endless, Green Room, I Saw What You Did, Last Shift, Martin, Oculus, Raw (French), Street Trash, Teeth, Timecrimes, What Have You Done To Solange!
I feel like these are incredibly underrated! Check them out if you dig horror!
The Descent, It Follows & Wolf Creek. 👏🏼❤️
While looking at Top 10, Top 50 and even Top 100 lists of Best horror films, I never see 'Jacob's ladder' on any of these. I find it strange because it is an A-class movie with a famous director and cast and it is also very original and unsettling.

I need to watch that one again. Really remember liking it a lot.
Great movie but very depressing outcome.

Totally agree.
Nice review! Cemetary Man AKA Dellmorte Dellamore to me is a lesser known underrated movie another one is Rammbock Berlin Undead just my opinions.
Hell Night, one of the best 80's horror also very underrated
Leprechaun bring s back so many memories. I remember showing that to my brother when he was like 6 years old and my mom got so mad at me because he wouldn't go to bed unless the lights were on for like 3 months. At the time he loved Batman and Michael Keaton so I tried to tell him that the Leprechaun was just Michael Keaton on his knees in the costume to get him to not be scared. Oh man, it's cracking me up all over again lol!
SullenxRiot182 too bad leprechaun was crap
it had Jennifer Aniston
Lol that is great.
Some of these films go wayyyy back but they definitely jump out as horror anomalies. The other(not the Nicole Kidman movie the others), deathdream, the bad seed, orphan, the orphanage to name a few.
Holy shit dude. I haven't been on your page since you weighed more. Congrats man on the weight loss. Keep up the good work
Piss off my turf dude
- acid burn
you are an underrated youtuber :]
I feel I'm an underrated youtuber
My heart stopped beating when I looked in the background of this video and saw that prayer clock especially in a pile of horror memorabilia. We used to have two in our house which have now been removed due to really creepy events involving it going off at night with new batteries and no alarms set.

awesome video! i love so many of these as well! candyman, may, hotel hell, pet sematart 2, near dark, the stuff, blood rage, and suspiria are so amazing. definitely make more of these videos! :) some films that i really like and consider to be underrated are laid to rest, drag me to hell, graduation day, mothers day remake, no one lives, two evil eyes, and tourist trap (to name a few, lol).
Totally agree with those one. You really don't hear people talk about them much. And really glad you liked the video totally will do more like this.
Pieces! I've seen that movie when I was a child in the mid 80s. Fucking loved it!!
Thanks for the list! I watched Phantom of the Mall this morning, I had a blast. I noticed Mac's dad from Always Sunny played the arsonist and Cort from Friday the 13th part 6 played the owner's son lol. Can't wait to watch some others from your video!
I've been watching alot of good under rated horror films for the past few months on Netflix, I think they have the best selection of horror gems... the den, youre' next, the shrine, trollhunter, starry eyes, Exeter, dark summer, let's prey, dark was the night, would you rather. some earlier horror films I also think are underrated are ginger snaps, dog soldiers, joyride, venom, disturbia, the faculty, the signal, 28 days later, and gothika. good video. keep doing your thing man.
I really enjoyed your picks! Looked up all trailer and read reviews for all of them.
On a side-note, I don't think Suspiria isn't underrated at all. Nicolas Refn Wern
doing the remake is legit the best idea I've heard for a remake!
I'm so glad you mentioned my favorite movie of all time; May! You did call Angela Bettis "Angela Bates" twice, but I forgive you!
The movies I always recommend are:
May

Near Dark has always been one of my favorite vampire movies. Between the cast and the story, it was just awesome. And, the barroom scene was one of the best in the entire film.

Just Before Dawn is one of my favorites as well. I used to have the Paragon VHS but gave it away recently.
Candyman is on of my all time favorites, Just Before Dawn is fantastic. Thank you for this video, always great.
Your enthusiasm is infectious! And MAJOR props for mentioning Bad Ronald. I remember that as kid (I'm old lol and remember this from TV back in the 70s). Could be remade so great today by a skilled writer. I am not as schooled on horror as many others, but I would include Death Watch (Kind of horror). Love that movie. Never hear it talked about. Going to look into some of these you mentioned. Thanks!
One of my favorite underrated horror movies is the descent, the music, Acting, and story everything is great! Also the original Halloween 2 is underrated too one of the best horror sequels of all time
Totally Decent is a great one.
Finally, some respect for Season of the Witch! It's a great stand-alone film!
It's a given that foreign horror films will always be criminally under-rated. A few of my favorites are: The Cremator (Czechoslovakia - 1969); Kwaidan (Japan - 1964); Onibaba (Japan - 1964); Krysař (Germany - 1986); Rapture (Spain - 1980); Kuroneko (Japan - 1968) and The Phone Box (Spain - 1972). Here's a couple of older British horror films that seem to be nearly forgotten; The Innocents from 1961; The Haunting from 1963 and Dead of Night from1945.
Eli Roths cabin fever is great not many people talk about it but i love it. not a fan of the remake.
Love that movie and ya the remake was such a mess didnt like it much at all.
Ginger Snaps is incredible, think about it it may not be even placed in the horror genre, but I have no idea where else it would fit... its got gore and a few jumpscares but it isn't exactly like Friday the 13th type horror so I assume it is just a mature movie?
Ginger Snaps is a fantastic movie
I agree, not sure how it is not talked about more. I don't even feel like it hit cult classic status, which I was sure it was going to.
I agree. Ginger snaps is so good. I liked both the sequels as well. Hopefully they come to blu-ray at some point
That hot chick that stars in Ginger snaps was in a more recent movie where she dropped out of medical school and was working doin underground surgery for some criminals and she was cutting up and torturing the shit out of her professor that raped her.. That chick was born to star in horror movies in my opinion..I thought that one was pretty good up to the ending.. Anybody know the name of that flick.?
The82bstewart I haven't seen the movie but I think I remember Katherine Isabelle starring in a movie recently called Bloody Mary? Although that seems unlikely.
Just found your channel and I'm definitely subscribing. Great video and awesome horror collection.
great choices Shawn ... dude I love The Stuff , Motel Hell , Phantom Of The Mall and Street Trash ... another one of my all time favorite Horror films is The Pit which is a film many people forget
I love the candyman movies one of my favorite slasher movie series. Its just as good as friday the 13th, nightmare on elm street, and Halloween in my personal opinion
Here's a few to check out if you haven't seen already;
-Dead of Night (1974)
-Deranged: Confessions of a Necrophile (1974)
-Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (1972)
-Hunter's Blood (1986)
-The Sentinel (1977)
-The Devil's Candy (2015)
-Long Weekend (1978)
-Combat Shock (1984/6), not so much horror, but same vibe as Street Trash
Gore is not horror. Buckets of Blood and missing limbs or not scary but what might be around the corner or down the street and you don't know is scary. I saw the first Candyman. Like the original Night of the Living Dead you don't see blood you barely see a zombie but it's scary as hell because it winds up your mind and the theater of the mind is where horror takes place!
'Screamers' scream for a Blu Ray release. I'll give you two you absolutely need to add to your collection:
Wakewood
Dead and Buried
Those are mostly recent ones, but i think they deserve to be more known.
-Motivational Growth
-Almost Human
-The Mind's Eye
-The Resident
I think the main problem with Screamers was the romance. It comes to late in the movie and felt forced. But Dan O' Bannon is one of my favorite screenwriters, and it's all the snappy dialogue.
But Yeah Screamers is under rated because most of the film was strong but as it drew closer to the end it started to feel weaker.
I love pet cemetery 2 as well!!! That movie scared the dog shit outta me when I was little. And it’s def underrated. Great choice 👍🏻
I agree totally with Society. It amazes me how few people have seen it. Screamers too. I bought Ravenous right after watching it. May is one of my favorites. I was the only person I knew for a decade who admitted to liking Street Trash! Motel Hell left me cold in the old days, but I get a kick out of it now. NEAR DARK is so much cooler than Lost Boys even though it has that cop out ending. Lance Henriksen is terrific in it. I love Larry Cohen movies, especially those with Michael Moriarty!
Bodycount, Slaughter High, Lifeforce, Trick or Treat, The Ruins, Banshee Chapter, The Unholy, Waxwork, Ghost Story and National Lampoon's Class Reunion always an enjoyable watch.
Always love your horror picks. Great video. :)
Great video Dude! I started watching it with the intent of just watching a few minutes, but ended up watching it all.
I watch vids like this and hope to see movies I've never seen. But, most of the time the movies are OVERrated or are mainstream movies like 'Nightmare On Elm Street'.
Almost half the movies you listed are movies I've never seen or never even heard of. You have some REALLY obscure movies, and that is rare. I like that. 🤘
great video man!! by the way I've been tryna find a movie I saw on like HBO prolly 15 years ago or more.. I don't know the title, but it was like sci-fi horror.. and all I remember was a few scenes.. one scene of like a black woman, or man.. was lifting up the front of a car off the ground while people were tryna drive away, and she had like a metal arm.. another scene of a guy and woman making out I'm a porter potty.. and there's a boob shot in there.. and idk, like teen like kids running through the woods from lights that would find them wherever they went.. like they couldn't escape.. if this rings any bells please help me out with any information you may have! thank-you, I've been tryna find this movie for years.
Hi Great videos , As an English horror fan and collector have you ever seen the 1988 fright night 2 movie on dvd . I cant seem to find on dvd in England UK . Best Wishes Nick
Near dark was a really well made, really unique, cool take on a vampire gang movie. Would definitely recommend it
Good picks man! Maybe you can show a clips fro some of these movies next time would be superb for people who haven’t seen some of these .
Hi Coolduder! Cool video! I also like "mall movies"! What is your opinion on Chopping Mall?
Chopping mall is awesome. Love that movie so much.
I love your channel dude! I enjoy your videos
great picks. I really like vacancy with Luke Wilson and Kate beckinsale, very tense and suspenseful and I enjoy the puppet master series
I loved Vacnany as well. Ned to check it out again
Fantastic video!! I agree with every one of your picks!!
Awesome video dude,I love street trash I remember renting that over and over again, I was so happy when it got a blu ray release
Totally was for sure as well.
I Like Leprechaun 5 In The Hood
That is a fun movie for sure
Cool Video
You so gangsta! lol
I remember when I first watch 'Society' back in the day. Never have the words wtf been better used! Only 'From Dusk to Dawn does the twist into insanity even gets close. Cool channel!😎
I'd like to add 'The Borderlands'. I normally hate found footage films, but this was an amazinggly creepy movie. If you've not seen it, do so. Be warned, it is slow building and there so no gore.
The scene with the sheep is one of the most disturbing things I've ever watched, and a brilliant homage to "The Thing" at the same time.
A few underrated horror movies imo 1. killer party 2. Ticks 3. Skeeter 4. The fly 2
also underrated "anguish 1987" and "when a stranger calls
I don't think I've seen Anguish need to check it out .
I found ONE stream for Anguish and it was really good. Definitely underrated and under viewed. Good choice.
Screamers is based off of a short story by Philip K Dick. I highly recommend the movie and the story! Philip K Dick had so many great film adaptations and I don't think that enough people know about how great of a writer he really was.
MonsterMike blade runner right?
Matthew B yes. the story was Do Robots Dream Of Electric Sheep?
wow dude it's been 4ever since ive seen a vid of you, one of the 1st youtubers i watched years n years ago, you totally changed physically \m/awesome mayne👍🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧
Think Devil is underrated, when they stuck in the lift....really liked that film.....
To underrated ones that you forgot or missed. Our galaxy of Terror and Terror in the aisles. The first one to me is a great scary movie in space even though it's low budget it's very underrated. And Terror in the aisles is more of a documentary but it gets you hooked and shows you why we love this stuff. Again very underrated almost never talked about.
Dude you are cool as your name suggests...you got a new subscriber!
That's a great list, loads of unknown ones to me. Nice one. The Clown at Midnight is another great really creepy one. And Chopping Mall. Near Dark is so under rated.
And It almost shocks me that Halloween 3 is your favourite out of that whole franchise, everyone's different though and I agree that it could and should have been a stand alone film because Michael Myers isn't in it. I think it's a great film though.
I think you're correct, Susperia is the best.
Here is something about that movie you probably never herd of. I saw this when it first came out. The trailer for the movie had a scene that was great, but it wasn't in the movie. I'm sure it was made just for the preview because it really had nothing to do with the movie. You would see some woman I believe, with long hair, from the back, sitting in her room brushing her hair, then she would turn around and she had a skull as a head. Skulls were really big, and cool in the 70's and early 80's.
Now I am going to watch Blood Rage, I hope it is at least as good as you say it is.
Thanks for all of your videos I love them! keep them up Shawn!
Thanks so much for watching my stuff.
coolduder hell yeah bro I'm a huge fan!
Slither(2006) is a very underrated horror film.
Totally is for sure. Need to watch that one again.
It's funny how the term "underrated" depends entirely on where your exposure to a topic comes from.Suspiria is an incredible film and to me and the circle of horror/film fans I know of it is given credit as such. If I were to create my own subjective list of underrated horror I suppose I'd go with Possesion(1981), Repulsion(1965), The Devils(1971), Bug(2007), Martyrs(2007), Nekromantik(1987), Excision(2012), Basketcase(1982) and Under the Skin(2014).Now even my list is totally speculative and debatable. Martyrs and Under the skin are highly regarded by some.the only 2 films I picked that I feel can truly be called underrated being Possesion and The Devils but Possesion has gained some recognition in the last 2 years since Andrez Zulawski died and The Devils isn't definitive horror.Really the more appropriate title for lists like these would be "Movies I think deserve more recognition from a mainstream audience".Why did I bother writing this?
Brainscan is criminally underrated!
Some good movies there ( Halloween 3)! As underrated movies are concerned; I've always liked The Sentinel (1977) , The Return of the LIving Dead, Rosemary's Baby, Scanners, The Changeling(1980) and The Lady In White. Some really good mentions here in the comments especially Whatever Happened to Baby Jane!
Great picks. I think I told this story before on my old "sfighter991" channel, when I first saw "Halloween 3:Season of the Witch" on AMC when they were showing all of the "Halloween" movies, well except for the first one, I was pretty much like everyone else, I hated it. I didn't like the idea of a "Halloween" movie with the title slasher. Especially considering the first I think I sat through was "Halloween 4:The Return of Michael Myers". However, in a twist of fate that I doubt will surprise anybody, I let the movie grow on me, nowadays I really like it. The original story allows the movie to stand on it's own, I liked the creepy synthesizer music, the grotesque deaths, and the acting. I definitely consider it one of the better "Halloween" movies. Makes me wish they just stuck with the idea of making the remaining "Halloween" movie an anthology series. Who knew years later the idea of a "Halloween Anthology" movie would be resurrected in the form of 2007's "Trick R' Treat" (even though I still have yet to see it).
Pretty good list... I like Frailty, The Gate 2, Cube, and Lifeforce.. I dont really hear too much bout thoughs.
yes the the gate part two is very underrated
angel silve I believe I like it better then the first movie.. its also kinda hard to find..
The82bstewart i know..... i own it the gate 2 on dvd along with the 1st one as well
if i had your address i could send you a copy in the mail for free
i hope they put it out on blue ray and soon
Stakeland is another movie that is greatly overlooked by the mainstream, low budget and highly underrated in my opinion.. Im so glad to hear its getting a sequel.
Cool didnt know it was getting a sequel.
Great vid dude. A lot of these I never heard of
Thank you very much! also for the lists in the description.
You are the nicest movie reviewer I've seen on UA-cam.
First time here: The Prowler and The town that dreaded sundown (original); especially the latter set the mood for the coming slasher movies: Halloween, Friday...etc
If I weren't already subscribed, I would've instantly hit subscribe for the _Halloween III_ mention alone. It's my favorite of the Halloween series as well. Great list of movies, Shawn! Super jealous you were able to acquire _Phantom of the Mall,_ I've been looking for that one everywhere!
I had it and got rid of it! the guy who played the phantom is now a life coach
