I loved Shadow of the Vampire...Y'all ever see Ginger Snaps? Great werewolf flick. The girl who plays Ginger is uber hot. <img width="277" height="400" border="0" src="http://www.dailyinfo.co.uk/images/cinema/ginger-snaps.jpg" />

Night of the Creeps...I remember that on cable.But....you gotta see Slither, this years ripoff of Night of the Creeps. It had the alien worms that jump into your mouth making people zombies. It was very tounge in cheek and kinda creepy, but it definately borowed heavily from that old cheese fest.<img width="150" height="222" border="0" src="http://www.boxofficemojo.com/images/slither_poster.jpg" />

I don't know if this is underrated enough but the movie with the "Tall Man" (i think its Phantasm but i might be mixing up the title with something else) always scared the hell outta me. I've seen it like thrice and would get it on DVD but Im always such a little girl when im watching it.

The first time I ever saw Phantasm was on WDC Channel 20, on the show hosted by Bobo's real father...<img height="225" src="http://www.dcrtv.org/gore2.jpg" width="300" border="0" />Even though the Count was goofy as shit, the movie scared the shit out me that night. Weed and alcohol were so good for that, in those days.

Not sure if theyre under/over-rated but on my fave list...SuspiriaBuffy the Vampire Slayer [perhaps the TV series has eclisped/obscured this; the original just kicks ass]High Tension [a French slasher aka Haute Tension; liked it a lot]House of Wax [better then one would think, its way better then the pieces of shit Hostel and Dark Water]I Spit on Your Grave [dated, weird, trippy, love it]They Live [Roddy Piper and David Keith superb]Wolf Creek [based on real aussie 'backpacker murders']Devil's Rejects [10,000 Corpses was too heavy on the supernatural. Devil's could essentially happen today. Very Manson-esque, I love how he films stuff in multiple formats and mixes it up]Cabin Fever [again, better then expected]Vampires [another Carpenter beast, I cant help but love Woods calling the head Vampire a 'Pole Smoking Fashion Victim']Fright Night [Roddy McDowell rules]Pulse [Asian thing Americans made into some piece of crap]Frailty [ever see this Bill Paxton thing? Whoa!]Starship Troopers [oh man it's overblown and comic book but I love the bugs]Bubba Ho-Tep [this is turning into one of my top 10 all time movies]Gojira [the original Japanese Godzilla, just released on DVD. Was only seen in USA with a dubbed in Raymond Burr. Not taken so seriously here, in japan it's like their Gone With the Wind]The Incredible Shrinking Man [great 50's allegory filled flick, one of best endings ever]=Just about the entire Tartan Asian Extreme Series. Oldboy, The Hillside Strangler, Acacia, H, Sympathy for Mr. Vengence...

Dario Argento's SUSPIRIA was great but we're talking underrated.  SUSPIRIA is way up there on just about any horror list.  If I'm going with underrated Argento I have to say OPERA.  There's one shot where someone is looking through a peephole to see who's outside the door.  I won't spoil it but I had to pause the DVD and go back several times to re-watch that one sequence.  Amazing.  One of the most ambitious sequences I've ever seen on film.DEAD ALIVE is a great flick if you like mega-gross-out chills with some laughs.

I remember the Car from when it made its network TV debut on NBC way back in the 80's.Another wierd movie, which may or may not be considered a horror flick, but has a fantastic ending is Burnt Offerings.My Bloody Valentine is a good old fashion slasher flick.

I think Halloween 2 is under-rated when its compared to Halloween.Part 2 had much more action.Obvioulsy the original was the classic but I'll watch #2 before #1 if given the chance.

Most underrated horror movie I can think of though is "The Devil's Backbone" - underrated probably because it's Spanish. After that movie the director - I forget his name - was brought to Hollywood to do Blade II and Hellboy, then he went back and did Pan's Laberynth which won some technical Oscars the other day. But his best movie is still The Devil's Backbone, which really works as a ghost movie but has so much else going on.And I can't explain why but if 13 Ghosts is on I can't turn it off.

It's a horror movie, the formula is right there, but the real theme is more along the lines of a Shakshank Redemption -ish questioning of what exactly our lives are really about, and how we treat people at the fringes of society [old people for Bubba Ho-Tep, peeps in Jail for Shawshank]. It's sounds f-ed up, but it's really about so much more then what it might appear at the surface. Most def see the making of docu on the DVD, it explains it much better then I.

I'll add the Brazil's Coffin Joe to the mix...AT MIDNIGHT I'LL TAKE YOUR SOUL.  With a pitiful budget he really had impact. Got the DVD box COFFIN JOE TRILOGY.  Quality-wise was pretty hard to watch but man...GENIUS.  On a B-movie type level you HAVE TO give it to Herschell Gordon Lewis with the blood trilogy.  TWO THOUSAND MANIACS,  BLOOD FEAST,  and COLOR ME BLOOD RED. Underated?  Maybe not.  But I'll say so because he's Korean and not widely known here...PARK CHAN-WOOK's revenge trilogy...SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE,  OLDBOY,  and LADY VENGEANCE.  LADY VENGEANCE and OLDBOY were especially great.  I rent about everything these days but made a point to pick these up for my collection.  Well worth it.  GREAT FILMS if you can handle subtitles.

I was reading that they're gonna make a remake/sequel of Happy Birtday To MeMy Bloody Valentine isa very good 80's horror flick.I was disappointed that the dvd that came out a few years ago didnt have many, if any, extras.
