Top Ten Most Underrated Horror Movies

The Top Ten
1 Trick 'r Treat

This is a sketch movie, so some stories at the same time and it was not bad at all! This movie is very good, with suspense and it was original. I think it should stay in the top 3 of this list

This is a gem, I'd never heard of it before watching it, but I was surprised just how good it was, it had a creepy atmosphere throughout, a excellent Halloween movie

This should be higher. If it wasn't for the fact that it wasn't in theaters, it would be one of the best horror movies of all time.

Yes, Trick 'r Treat is a awesome horror movie and very underrated. One day I hope it gets known better.

2 The Strangers

The Strangers was creepy as hell! Critics and most of the public gave it little respect. Other movies, like Cabin Fever, Christine, Amittyville Horror 2, Orphan, Night of the Demons, Friday the 13th part 4, Halloween 4 and Halloween H20 get treated the same way, while other crappy movies get all the praised.

This film is great. It's shot well, the suspense and scares are brutally effective. screw rotten tomatoes with its 45% on this movie, it did serves at least 75!

100 per cent this movie. A brilliant film with very little talk, I would recommend it to everyone

3 30 Days Of Night

One of the best vampire movies of all time (in my opinion)! And the atmosphere is gorgeously creepy...don't forget about Melissa George and Josh Hartnett.

Its totally one of the top 10 movies you forgot from the 2000s

Awesome vampire movie for 21 century

Second one stunk

4 Wrong Turn

I've heard some people say this movie was a rip off of the movie The Hills Have Eyes. I don't see it, other than the two having large deformed men, killing in them. When I first watched Wrong Turn, it had me on the edge of my seat from the word go. I don't understand why anyone who likes horror could not enjoy this film.

I do not think that it is so underrated. And of course is one of the best horror movies of all time.

Absolutely terrifying movie. I almost pooped my pants while watching this movie.

This is the best movie ever it's my favorite and way better than any movie

5 Let the Right One In

Great film and a unique twist on the vampire lore. The main thing I love is the moral ambiguity, as the film leaves it to you as to whether you sympathise with the main characters, regardless of the horrible stuff they do.

The best vampire movie-with the typical Scandinavian beautifully depressing atmosphere-and if you're considering watching the American remake first-don't (which was pretty good for a remake by the way)!

One of the best movies ever made till date. I guarantee that you will be touched after watching this dark horror romance.

Subtly artistic portrayal of a beautiful human relationship with various dark undertones

6 Rec

One of the best films of its type, for whatever that may be worth.

Beautifully done and haunting-a masterpiece!

7 28 Days Later

So good my parents own it and recommend ed it for a great movie night! Enjoy ed it a lot so many died because the guy kissed his wife... and not a happy ending either... well, if your French!

A great horror movies one of the best could compare to dawn of the dead

Best horror movie ever watch it

8 Alien 3

I am upset that the only things most people hate about this movie is that they kill off Hicks and Newt and there is the plot hole about the egg getting on the ship. Those are just nitpicks and are not a big deal. If you ignore the beginning it's a great movie.

I agree with the most recent review. Riddley Scott did an excellent job with every Alien movie. This one is NO EXCEPTION!

Yes it had the whole egg plot hole thing, but the rest of the film was great.

I don't get why people hate it it's a great movie

9 Vacancy

Motels have always kinda creeped me out since watching Psycho 30 years ago. This movie completely closed the door for me staying in one.

Great horror movie and it can actually happen and wrong turn, cabin fever and alien 3 arent underrated

Vacancy was a really good movie.

10 Drag Me to Hell

It does not just make The Exorcist light (what I mean by light is the opposite of scary) in comparison, but it is directed by the man that made the Spider-Man movie trilogy! I was going to see this in theatres, but I was a child when this was in theatres, so we saw a different movie in 2009. I doubt it was that overrated, engrossing 2009 movie that also had Justin Long in it named Planet 51. - The Ultimate Daredevil

Good scary horror, that has a hint of the evil dead about it, if you like underrated horror films, then give this one a try.

Very underrated!

The Contenders
11 The Ring

When it 1st came out freaked out my daughter so went to see for myself... It did freak out most teenagers in theater

Creepy as hell-had nightmares for about a week-and still avoid wells.

12 Cabin Fever

Other than weird music and some questionable acting, this movie was very entertaining.

This movie was good. The second was just a gorefest mess. Third was lame. Remake was just a worse copy of the first.

13 Mimic
14 Candyman

I love candyman this movie is very underrated this movie is a classic in my opinion candyman should be number one.

I watched this movie last night and I loved it! a little slow and boring at times, but it was still great.

15 Tremors

Tremors is so sick especially getting eaten by it but is the most underrating movie ever
this should be number one.

Tremors is amazing.

16 Orphan

Not exactly horror.

17 Rosemary's Baby

This movie was too slow and weird. They never even showed the baby at the end. I guess they figured that was a better ending but to me, I needed some sort of payoff for toughening it out an watching the movie.

Such a deep, terrifying, though provoking film. A cult horror classic.

Classic- a bit slow, but definitely worth it!

18 High Tension

This movie is violent. Very violent. But it has an amazing plot with a twist at the end that one could consider beautiful. This movie is absolutely amazing.

Typical french gore-the ending is one of the best!

19 Splice
20 Carrie (2002)
21 Ginger Snaps
22 Slither

GRANT I'll never forget that name
Watch this movie, it's underrated. It was scary, funny, and hell was it good!

23 The Devil's Rejects

Hugely underrated. Yes it is very bloody and gory but if you actually take the time to watch this you will be amazed. One of my favorites

24 Dog Soldiers
25 Signs

Okay signs still huants me and its only pg 13 it probaly underrated because of it having faith witch ifeirates me
