Hidden Treasures of the Horror Movie Horde

Have you seen all of these? They are, according to the linked article, “5 Horror Movies That Never Got The Credit They Deserved.” Okay. Sure. I personally could compile a list that would run into the hundreds, but we’ll stick with these five. I’m all about encouraging viewers to check out overlooked but worthy efforts, any chance I get. But ARE these five worthy? SHOULD you look them up, if you haven’t already seen them? By all means! However, there are qualifiers.

While FRAILTY is a solid, underrated Horror flick, Wes Craven’s RED EYE, though a solid thriller with fine acting (and Rachel McAdams looking her most gorgeous), isn’t really a Horror picture. It is labeled as such only because Craven directed it. SLITHER is a gross-out hoot, and 1408 seems to defy the standard Stephen King movie adaptation pattern, in that, while not a true masterpiece like THE GREEN MILE or a trainwreck like THINNER (King movies tend to be one or the other, consistently), it’s still a nice, middle-ground effort worth watching. But I question including TRICK ‘R TREAT on this list. Not because it isn’t excellent. It is. But, considering its rabid fanboy following, is it really underappreciated?
