8 Underrated horror Movies 

Dread

The absolute pinnacle of the “torture porn” trend in my opinion. Far better and more intelligent than all the Saws and Hostels rolled together. Adapted from a classic Clive Barker story about an experiment in inflicting a person’s worst fear, this movie takes the concept, expands on it and changes just enough so to surprise fans of the book.  

Blood Creek

Brothers Henry Cavill and Dominic Purcell head out on a mission of vengeance but soon find themselves caught up in an occult experiment headed by Michael Fassbender’s undead Nazi. An action horror with Zombie horses starring Superman and Magneto is a movie you shouldn’t miss.

Session 9

Creepy atmosphere tinged with a looming dread pervades every shot of this feature  as an asbestos removal team go to work in an abandoned asylum and uncover chilling secrets. Stars David Caruso, Josh Lucas and Peter Mullan.  

Cruising

Cop Al Pacino goes undercover in New York’s gay S&M subculture to track a killer targeting homosexuals. Every scene oozes menace, whether it’s a threat to our protagonist’s life or to his sexual identity. Directed by William Friedkin (The Exorcist) and boasting an excellent supporting cast and quality soundtrack. This is also one of Quentin Tarantino’s favorite movies. 

Prince of Darkness

Carpenter’s most overlooked yet one of his best. Priest Donald Pleasence assembles a team of physics students to try and prevent the Devil returning to Earth. Has everything you love about Carpenter films, plus Alice Cooper.

Antichrist

Psychiatrist Willem Dafoe takes wife Charlotte Gainsbourg out to a cabin in the woods to help her overcome grief for their lost son. She is haunted by a sense of a lurking malevolence within the woods a sense that drives her to some extremely disturbing behavior. Director Lars Von Trier presents an intelligent, arty yet unflinchingly extreme horror you won’t be forget-but might want to.

The Broken

Following a car accident Game of thrones’ Lena Headey is haunted by visions of a woman who looks just like her. She soon finds all of her acquaintances begin acting strangely, but is it all in her head? A little seen gem, another with a tense, claustrophobic atmosphere.

Feast

Gory, anarchic fun in the vein of Evil Dead 2. A group of various stereotypes and archetypes hole up in a bar in the middle of nowhere as flesh eating monsters lay siege from outside. Also stars one of my personal heroes Henry Rollins playing against type as a sleazy, dimwitted life coach.

Prometheus: Introducing David

Although I have mixed feelings about this film, it stayed with me for days after and I want to see it again.

Uneven epic with a few thrilling set pieces, and a couple that are not so. The central plot and its mysteries are compelling throughout. Unfortunately most of the characters are too thin to care about, which drains much of the tension and smothers a few scares. However Fassbender is excellent, his android dominating every scene he’s in, Rapace is solid and the visuals are so powerful that the movie’s flaws are outweighed overall.

I just hope Ridley does a director’s cut for blu ray and dvd, as I suspect there’s a stronger film on the cutting room floor.

A harrowing meditation on self destruction and isolation from the team behind the equally powerful and similarly themed “Hunger”. An intense character study of a sex addict with minimal dialogue which communicates far more through visuals and music. Fassbender displays a range of icy charm, sleazy desperation, total anguish as his “Brandon” descends into increasing acts of shallow depravity to get his kicks. The concept of sex addiction has been frequently mocked in the media but the strength of this piece will no doubt provide greater recognition and awareness.  

The films of Neil Marshall

Visceral and harrowing depiction of imprisoned IRA member Bobby Sands’ hunger strike. A dedicated Michael Fassbender delivers a searing performance as Steve McQueen crafts a story that is sparse on dialogue yet heavy on emotion. This movie offers no easy answers, instead it bravely raises all manner of difficult questions.
