Favorite Underrated Horror Gems?

Post by xorlone17 »

Hey horror fans! I've been thinking a lot lately about those horror movies that don't always get the recognition they deserve. We all know the classics – Halloween, The Exorcist, etc. – but what about those hidden gems that slip under the radar?
I'm talking about movies that might not have had a huge budget, or maybe weren't marketed well, but are genuinely creepy, suspenseful, or just plain fun. Films that stick with you long after you've seen them.
So, I'm curious: what are your favorite underrated horror movies? What makes them special? Why do you think they deserve more attention?
I'll start: I've always had a soft spot for "Session 9." The atmosphere is incredibly unsettling, and the way it plays with psychological horror is fantastic. Another one is "Pontypool

The replayability in Session 9 is low. I watched it once or twice and liked it but haven't had a desire to pop it back in and it's been years.

Iced is a classic that few discuss.

Among one of the best slashers of the late 80's tbh.

No, it's not 10/10, but 8/10? Easily.
