Underrated Horror Movies

[DesertBerean]

I actually liked William Katt from the made for TV Perry Mason movies.

He's the son of the late Barbara Hale.

....and no, I don't watch much horror, but I'll try to think of something...

[DesertBerean]

Yeah, its one of those "so bad its good" films that come up on just about every cult cheeseball horror movie list.

That makes me think of the "Atrack of the Killer Tomatoes"....

That is one movie who's cult status I have yet to understand. I've watched it, I still don't get it.

It's just so absurd. I love it, but haven't watched it in ages.

Did watch an interesting horror film last night though.

We Are Still Here



This is a very low budget supernatural horror. It has very low budget FX, and some subpar acting, but it's a genuinely decent horror film. It's pretty gory too, which is somewhat unique in the supernatural horror subgenre. It feels like it's going for sort of an Amityville meets Evil Dead thing. Doesn't quite get to the level of either, but, again, very decent.

Oooh. That sounds interesting. Amityville meets Evil Dead sounds like an interesting mix. I see in the poster it's going to be at SXSW 2016? A lot of pretty decent horror has come out of there. Putting this on my list.

Probably not gonna be in your alley but I watched Vincent Price in Shock last night. Classified as a mystery but more of a thriller. Mild by modern standards but I found the psychological angle interesting.

Thanks for reminding me. I have been wanting to watch more Price movies but haven't had the time. I should take a night and do a Price marathon. He's sorely missed.

For Vincent Price, I like The Bat.

Of course I watched it a LONG time ago, and I was pretty young then. It might not have held up well.

Thank you for the suggestion. Definitely going to put it on here. I know he has a large body of work, so it's going to be tough finding the "must-sees".

I've been working through the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die list, and recently caught Price in a mid-40s film noir called Laura. Not horror, but good stuff. Weird seeing him in what I would consider a relatively normal role.

I refuse to look at that list. I have enough movies I haven't seen yet . I like some noir, so that sounds interesting. Yeah, I am so used to him being in Horror/Suspense films. This will be something different for sure.

He had a lot more of them than people think. Which figures - it takes talent to pull off fantasy horror roles. Boris Karloff in "British Intelligence" is another such example. The plot is strained but Karloff is worth watching.

Yeah, I recently watched Karloff in the original Scarface (1932). Weird seeing Frakenstein's monster as a gangster.

[DesertBerean]

Karloff was Scarface??? Wow.

[Jesse]

Karloff was Scarface??? Wow.

I know right? Adrift always ends up sharing something that you previously didn't know. I think it's his superpower.

Yikes. Let me clarify, Karloff was in scarface. He plays a rival gangster. Paul Muni plays Scarface. Still was a shock to see Karloff in a non-monster role though.
