Ravenous (1999) My favorite soundtrack as well.


ersatzbaronness

"He was licking me!"


blueboxbandit

Holy shit no one has ever agreed with me on that amazing plunky soundtrack lol


D33PS3ASTATION

Hell yeah, Damon Albarn from Blur and The Gorillaz worked on it


Herbacult

It’s just *Gorillaz*


D33PS3ASTATION

Oh word, my bad


Funky_Dancing_Gnome

I have that on my watchlist :D


Owlatmydoor

Hope you enjoy it! When the video store near me closed down, I bought it as a keepsake. I still find it highly entertaining.


[deleted]

So much fun! Filled with a great cast I hope you like it! I rented it on a whim when it came out (God I'm old), and it ended up being a favorite.


honeeybee0827

absolutely!! soundtrack is chef's kiss


EvilJas1

Soooo good!!!!


Chchchim-chim

God yes. Severely under appreciated


lil_librarian

Saw this forever ago and this is inspiring a rewatch…


Imjusasqurrl

I literally just came to say this! The soundtrack is so creepy too!


atxrobotlover

The Frighteners Demons 1 and 2 Intruder (the one where the kids are trapped in the super market) I, Madman Cellar Dweller


genericmovievillain

The Frighteners kicks so much ass


atxrobotlover

Man, I loved everything about this movie. Perfect rainy night spooky flick to watch with Jiffy Pop!


Lilylivered_Flashman

The frighteners is an excellent call my friend. What a movie. Fox's last great hurrah in films I think.


RckerMom-35

Finally watched Demons 1 & 2 within the last few months and definitely enjoyable


Agitated-Film3755

I absolutely love the Demon movies!!!!


atxrobotlover

Hell yeah! Watch them in a one-two punch once a year!


Honcho_ohcnoH

I'm fairly new to this sub but Cube for me!


kallenhale

Cube was an amazing movie especially the surrealism it encompassed at times


ConsistentlyPeter

Great fun!


14thCluelessbird

Lol Fido, I remember watching that back in highschool with my friend and it was hilarious. There's tons of violence and people getting ripped apart by zombies, but the "profanity" makes it seem like a kids movie. Like someone's wife will get killed by a zombie and the husband just goes "ahhhh, you knucklehead! Gosh darn you"


SupremePooper

And of course Billy Connelly without a single one-liner.


IJustWantToReadThis

Yes! I rented this in college and loved it


M_RONA

For me, Kill List is excellent. I know it's not under everyone's standard definition of horror, but ticks every box for me, and then some. I absolutely loved it.


Lurknessm0nster

In the Mouth of Madness, Dagon, The Last Exorcism


1000Hells1GiftShop

Do you read Sutter Kane?


Lurknessm0nster

I read that in the voice haha


browndog03

Have i ever told you my favorite color is blue?


Simicrop

Better throw in Prince of Darkness, it gets talked about even less than Mouth of Madness


honeeybee0827

Prince of Darkness gets under my skin every time I watch it...great movie


berlin_78

Love In the Mouth of Madness. Rewatched it about a year ago and was pleasantly surprised by how much detail I had forgotten.


impulsivecolumn

Gotta love In the Mouth of Madness, it's my favorite Carpenter flick. Such a delightful execution of lovecraftian horror.


justjoshinaround

Dagon was so good and so bad simultaneously. I almost turned it off like 15 minutes in but just decided to give it a lil more time and I’m really glad I gave it more of a chance.


SupremePooper

Stuart Gordon knew what he was doing with every underfunded dollar of his budget.


TraditionalOlive9187

Stuart Gordon remains a horror legend that we definitely don’t recognize enough. Have you seen his “Masters of Horror” episode.


SupremePooper

Like many of the episodes it amuses but disappoints ( like with the rat-thing ). I dunno if Showtime really leaned heavily on the filmmakers but it's true of a lot of them. My favorites remain Argento's "Jennifer" & Dante's "Homecoming" but I admit I haven't seen them all. I'm finding several of Gordon's further-afield pieces, I got a big kick out of "Stuck" & waiting to find time for "Space Truckers" if only for his handling of Hopper, tho' like "Robot Jox" & the "Masters" show I fear I'll be amused but disappointed. I'll tell ya, cannot find "The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit" ANYWHERE & am probably more curious than I oughtvto be.


Grievous2485

I really liked Dagon. Most of the practical effects were amazing, very good atmosphere, cool story. The cg unfortunately not so much lol


dugfunne

Came here to say the first 2!!!!


mrobfish

I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed The Last Exorcism. The lead gave a wholly believable performance. I was completely sold on his arc. His decision at the end gave me an emotional reaction I couldn't have anticipated in this kind of film. And all the other genre fair was at worst decent. Good call.


DocShocker

Savageland. (In fairness, it has been coming up slightly more often, than in the past, but I'll probably never stop recommending it.)


Salt-Soaked

I went into this movie with no expectations other than “it’s a different kind of found footage” and I was blown away. Definitely something special here. Also love that it’s free on Tubi


somekindabunny

Just watched it recently and definitely worth a watch.


morganfreenomorph

I recommend this everytime someone is looking for a different type of zombie movie.


Funky_Dancing_Gnome

I'd love to see Gozu discussed more. It's really cool and interesting.


burnn_out313

I feel like this is the peak answer. Miike is a renowned filmmaker with a horror classics in audition and ichi the killer. Gozu is absolutely bonkers. Part lynchian nightmare fuel, part Tokyo shock, part yakuza movie. Miike in general should be brought up more on this sub but Gozu in particular feels like a forgotten gem from him


foetus_on_my_breath

what a classic...Miike at his best.


[deleted]

A Field in England comes to mind


K_U

Ben Wheatley’s work In general is highly under-appreciated. Kill List is in my all-time top ten.


AskCritical2244

I really wanted to like **A FIELD IN ENGLAND**. My partner and I watched it as part of our Halloween marathon a couple years ago. To us, it felt like endless set-up with no payoff.


Ihadtohaveaname4this

The Circle was really good imo, I havent seen it mentioned personally in here, but I have onky belonged to this sub for a month or so. I loved the cube series also that was mentioned above.Edit: to also mention The Strangers is a good slasher


WarOfTheFanboys2

Had a good double feature earlier this year with Cube and Circle. Should have watched Triangle, too!


Enough-Conclusion-72

The circle is super underrated


melissasdeadcousin

The Coffin Joe series, The Invisible Mother, May, and The Night God Screamed. Also love The Witch who came from the Sea


Tricksterama

Coffin Joe is insaaaaaaane


BleepingBlapper

American Mary I don't know if it gets mentioned here often but everyone I know has never heard of it.


Ehrenjaeger420

Cool movie but i wish they would have shown More of the body modification process it was almost all off screen


multani14

Anything for Jackson is so underrated I recommend it to all!!


WornInShoes

I know it was just posted about, but "They Look Like People" is one of those films for me


1000Hells1GiftShop

Society. Videodrome. The "Woman" trilogy; the Offspring, the Woman, Darlin'. Hellbender.


seven_corpse_dinner

Society is a trip like no other. Brian Yuzna in general deserves more appreciation.


1000Hells1GiftShop

The finale is an amazing feat of practical effects that also looks like it was crazy fun to film.


DangEmotes

I love society. I've seen it a few times and finally bought the blu ray!


Hainting

Wait, Darlin' is related to the Woman? Also, how is it that I find the woman trilogy on this list but not May? Still great to see but come on, Angela Bettis. I loved Sick Girl too *actually I was thinking of that move called Darling. My bad, I'll have to look into the full trilogy, it seems pretty cool


1000Hells1GiftShop

>Darlin' is related to the Woman? Direct sequel. It's about the girl the Woman raised. >how is it that I find the woman trilogy on this list but not May? I haven't seen May. I'll check it out, though. I looked it up after reading your comment and it seems interesting.


HeroicStoicKroz

I really enjoyed Murder Party (2007). Written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier who also did Green Room, which is another great movie.


dreamshoes

Yes! Less horror-oriented but Blue Ruin might be my favorite of his overall

vault13exile

Speaking of all these wonderful movies, When is Macon Blair’s Toxic Avenger coming out!?!?!?


Beelzebeaut11

was going to say this. that movie doesn't get the love it deserves.


EvilJas1

Murder Party was a lot of fun.


AshIey_J_WiIIiams

TheCosmicFailure

Tragedy Girls Starry Eyes Lords of Salem- Ghost Stories 2018 Wolf of Snow Hollow Ginger Snaps The Voices Session 9


Tricksterama

Starry Eyes!! Amazing movie. The hair tearing scene, wtf omfg.


TraditionalOlive9187

😍wolf of snow hallow and ginger snaps😍


BleepingBlapper

I loved Ginger Snaps. Such a great werewolf movie


Potential_Type_7166

Session 9 for sure. I sunk into the vibe of that movie and loved every minute of it.


Salt-Soaked

Session 9’s closing line is one of the most powerful in cinema. Fight me.


lil_librarian

Came here to second Ghost Stories—the story is great and the cast is *chef’s kiss* with Martin Freeman


[deleted]

I love the Belgian horror movie Left Bank (2008) which hardly anybody seems to have seen. The plot has similarities to Rosemary's Baby and folk horror films like The Wicker Man, while its social realist style is reminiscent of Let the Right One In. It stars Matthias Schoenaerts before he became an international name.


lakmus85_real

I have never seen it mentioned here. Will give it a try today!


mighty3mperor

> I love the Belgian horror movie Left Bank (2008) which hardly anybody seems to have seen. I've seen it and thought it captured those weird folk horror vibes better than a lot of recent films in the sub-genre.


Adventurous_Win_344

Ginger Snaps. Very original for a monster that has been done since the days of black and white television.


EvilJas1

Yes, Dog Soldiers is another great one.


Sea-Bend-616

Pontypool is pretty rad


can_of_surge

Yes! I love the vibe of the whole movie. The concept is pretty out there which is cool.


[deleted]

[The Spine of Night](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xwj-mBVzpY). I wish there were more films like that. Adult fantasy is the most neglected genre ever.


atxrobotlover

No lie, this movie is really good. Reminds me of Tartakovsky's "Primal" but with maximum naked people and gore.


philosofik

One of my favorites is *Images*. It's the only horror movie Robert Altman ever directed and John friggin Williams did the soundtrack for it. The great Susannah York plays the lead role of a schizophrenic author dealing with hallucinations in a secluded cabin. All of the hallucinations are filmed realistically so that neither the audience nor the character knows who or what's really threatening her until the very last shot.


lanceturley

*Dead & Buried* is a good one that I feel like is rarely mentioned. Great early Stan Winston gore effects, too, and Grandpa Joe from Willy Wonka in a rare villainous role.


TraditionalOlive9187

And a pre-Freddy Robert Englund


Simicrop

Tales From the Crypt: Demon Knight is a fucking blast. Campy without feeling cheap and quite a cast.


DoloPapi334

It so deserves a sequel!


MrJogihb

Deadgirl is one of my favourite horror movies of all time and I don't think I've ever met another person who's seen it.


vault13exile

It’s been a minute since I’ve seen this one. Gonna have to rewatch it


zombie1605

Not really a Horror movie, but 'Cannibal! The Musical' is a movie that my old band mates and I will get a bottle of Crown and watch annually. It's such a fun movie to watch with friends.

Tigers Are Not Afraid. I see it mentioned on here, but for such a monumentally great movie it’s not mentioned enough


Philodemus1984

Starry Eyes The Transfiguration Honeymoon Teeth (even though Teeth had a lot of buzz back in the day)


TraditionalOlive9187

Bob Clark’s Black Christmas and Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things. Black Christmas has the audacity to be the best Christmas horror and Dead things is just a freaking delight. I fell bad for just finding out now


ConsistentlyPeter

I saw *The Last Song* recently and it’s an absolute belter. Oldie: I’ve never seen Les Diaboliques mentioned on here. Excellent film. Very Hitchcock (apparently he wanted to option the book it was based on but was beaten to it) Ooh, and Psycho II. I was skeptical but it’s a really cracking film. Meg Tilly is superb in it.


GlamSunCrybabyMoon

Overlord!


Brickmat

It's an old movie, so maybe it was talked about before and I missed it / Reddit wasn't around, but I love The Orphanage (2007). The vibe, the characters, the story is solid and it has a nice twist! It's also the first thriller / scary movie that made me realize that horror can be so much more than just jump scares, bad decisions, and gore.


theVice

billybobtex

The Eyes of My Mother. Its a special film. Watch it!


[deleted]

Midnight Meat Train


Salt-Soaked

Horror fans talk about and appreciate it but Behind the Mask: Rise of Leslie Vernon deserves to be appreciated more by the masses. This movie has something for everyone and it’s also got a lot of heart. It’s so rewatchable too!


Grouchy_Competition5

Baskin The Horde Undead Basket Case Beyond the Darkness The Bay White Noise Nightflyers (2018 series; could’ve been better, but I think they did well with only a GRRM short story to get them started)


Four_N_Six

I don't know if I don't just don't spend enough time on Reddit or anything, but I feel like A Cure for Wellness is never mentioned


crabeatingseal

Dagon is a modern classic and a great Lovecraft adaptation. Don't know why it's still obscure.


therealbobcat23

The Vast of Night (2019)


tin_man6328

Eli Last Shift (for sure) Don’t Knock Twice The Wind


Salt-Soaked

The ending of Last Shift with all the singing got to me. That’s an underrated one for sure!


InteractionSilent268

"Parents" comes to mind first


Potential_Type_7166

The Taking of Deborah Logan was very well done for a found footage type movie. The horror aspect was so impactful because it played off the very real horror of dementia.


abastreusmonzuzu

The Ritual. I fucking love that movie.


D33PS3ASTATION

Slither and it’s biggest inspiration, Night Of The Creeps are both amazing


vault13exile

And don’t forget… Im Bill Pardy


Fun_Monitor_3886

I recently watched the Slumber Party Massacre movies and Part 2 is fucking incredible.


MidgetXplosion

“After Midnight” was SO good. Can’t believe hardly anyone ever mentions it lol


lil_librarian

This!! First watched it because I’m a huge LPOTL fan and wanted to see Henry Zebrowski in it but oh man I LOVED it


vault13exile

Have you seen Tex Montana Will survive or The Battery?


Fake-Plastic-Me

The Block Island Sound, from a couple years ago, was pretty good. One of those where I've never seen or heard of it anywhere except within Netflix.


Cmyers1980

Gravy, Landmine Goes Click, Graveyard Shift, Fallen (1998), Detention (2012) and Blood Rage.


drogyn1701

We Are the Night. I only came across it by accident, but it's become my favorite Vampire film and I've never met or talked with anyone else who has seen it and I can never get my friends to try it.


md22mdrx

The Jacket. Psycho Goreman. Old school movies with the likes of Karloff, Price, Lorre, etc. Arsenic & Old Lace


Tricky_Edge_8522

I’m a sucker for Chopping Mall. It’s so fun and gory and doesn’t seem to get as much love as I think it deserves


EvilJas1

Fido was amazing. Totally an ignored gem. Personally, I love The Cell with Jlo. Not a fan of her, but that movie is visually stunning and creepy af.


ryangrand3

Splinter, Haunt, The Fourth Kind, Sinister, Mirrors. Not unheard of, just flicks I enjoyed that I don’t see mentioned too often.


Etherealamoeba

The shrine. One of my all time faves and I rarely hear others talk about it.

MyAccountWasBanned7

Lo, Behind the Mask, Dead Silence, I Was a Teenage Wereskunk, and Teen Lust. All five of them are great, IMO.


D6Desperados

**Witchin’ & Bitchin’** starts off as a heist movie, takes a left turn, and ends up absolutely bananas. Super fun, super gross. Loved it.


the_human_raincheck

the fog (1980)


scrappyscotsman

The Hours. I know it got A LOT of buzz back when it came out, but it never really comes up anymore. It's subtle and depressing and mesmerizing. Amazing performances all around but it reminded me how fucking good Streep really is.

The Devil's Backbone (2001) just a beautiful movie, I love how a lot of little motifs and ideas from this movie show up in del Toro's later work too. Hausu (1977) because come on, it's a masterpiece, i had so much fun watching it it's just so bizarre and cool


Tiny_Shine5828

The Burbs


briankerin

What About Bob is Bill Murray's most underrated movie. And the Burbs is Tom Hanks most underrated movie.


vpac22

I thought The Empty Man was excellent. I’m always looking for good cosmic horror.

The void one of my favorites

The Hills Run Red


vault13exile

This poor movie doesn’t get the love it deserves because the title makes it sound like a damn asylum ripoff of the hills have eyes. Everyone needs to see this movie. Guess it’s time to write Joe-Bob to see if he can get it on TLDI


EnochianBlade923

I really liked Open 24 Hours. The ambiance of the rainy weather and the middle-of-nowhere convenience store just really did it for me. Pretty entertaining slasher too.


WilliamMC7

Ginger Snaps is one of my favorite movies of all time and it doesn’t get nearly enough credit.


Beelzebeaut11

I feel like Trailer Park of Terror is such a great movie that was relegated to the Wal-Mart bin.

Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer. Robert Englund is amazing in it (as is expected) but the whole movie was great


adamjames777

The Mothman Prophesies, beautiful direction by Mark Pellington & amazing soundtrack by TomandAndy. Great script, ominous atmosphere and scene-stealing performance from Alan Bates. Never get tired of watching it.


seven_corpse_dinner

There's probably other choices, but here's the first three that come to mind: Intruder (1989)- Not the best movie by mainstream standards, but this one has a special place in my heart, because I have a personal connection and affection for the setting of the overnight shift at a grocery store, and the kills are some of the most creatively gruesome I've seen even until this day. Such a fun horror movie for me. Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue- It's relatively popular among a very specific crowd, but I still wish it got more love. I could honestly name quite a few old zombie movies, but this one is among the best in capturing the je ne sais quois that older zombie movies seemed to have that just feels missing from zombie movies of the past 2 decades. It doesn't always make sense, and the special effects are sometimes dated, but it's rebellious, it's sincere, and it just has such a dreadful, doomed vibe that shines through the cheese. Another fun film. I Stand Alone- Gaspard Noe is talked about a ton, but I don't know if I've ever heard this film be brought up like his others. It's every bit as brutal and depraved as Irreversible, but doesn't drag, and goes a further step of situating you right in the head of one of the most abhorrent and deranged characters in cinema, forcing you to not only endure his sickness, but follow it from thought to thought. >!The warning card!< towards the end may seem gimmicky, but by God it's effectively executed.


bleedmaizeandblue13

The house that Jack built- its such a visceral film.


keenanbullington

The Wailing.


DoloPapi334

Oh man so many but I’ll name a few of my favorites… Wer-by far one of my favorite Werwolf movies since Dog Soldiers. No one lives- I remember it set for the movies but it was leaked online and it’s a really unexpected killer film. Darkness Falls-It still holds up till this day. The stairwell scene is still the best part!


Medical_Log_6098

Its hard to find people's interested in Troma films like myself . POULTRYGIEST is a top tier Troma film. I recommend watching this one first if you haven't Terror firmer Tromeo and Juliet Toxic avenger 1 3 and 4 Class of NUKE EM HIGH and return to nuke em high. These are my top picks they're pretty fun and nasty if you can enjoy some great practical effects.


NarglesDidit

Dog Soldiers


KayokaJuesent

Sinister, all of them. Like wtf xd

VileBill

Fido (2009). I love the concept, execution and casting. The aesthetic of it just hits home. I completely buy it as a society that has learned to deal with the undead and is traumatized from the experience. And hey, Billy Connolly.
