5 Overlooked Horror Movies You Can't Miss If You're Up for a Good Scare
Tired of the same old horror movies? Give these sleep-stealers a try.
If you love horror movies, you have those moments when you scour Netflix, Hulu, or any other streaming service, only to find the same old classics and new releases everyone's been talking about. Yes, The Exorcist and A Nightmare on Elm Street are great, but sometimes you're craving something you haven't seen a gazillion times.
Well, you are in for a treat.
As Above, So Below (2014)
Ever been to the Catacombs of Paris? As Above, So Below takes you there but adds a horrifying twist. This is one of those found footage films that actually works. Claustrophobic and creepy, it gets under your skin and stays there.
The setting itself, a creepy maze filled with human remains, is definitely worth the watch.
The Changeling (1980)
This 1980 horror centers around a composer who moves into a historic mansion after the tragic loss of his family. The mansion has its own set of issues — a haunted past that's just waiting to spook the living daylights out of you.
It's a classic haunted house story done exceptionally well. The film even managed to scare the legendary directors Martin Scorsese and Guillermo del Toro.
Cube (1997)
This indie Canadian movie might have slipped under your radar, but it's time to put it on your must-watch list. A bunch of strangers wake up in a maze of deadly mystery rooms and have to find the exits without knowing why or how they got there in the first place.
Oculus (2013)
Mirrors can be creepy, and Oculus takes that simple premise and turns it into a horrifying experience. Two siblings are convinced that an antique mirror is behind the tragedies that have plagued their family.
It's a fresh take on the haunted object trope, with a plot that will keep you guessing till the very end.
Stir of Echoes (1999)
Stir of Echoes is a supernatural mystery that stars Kevin Bacon as a regular guy who starts seeing disturbing visions after a hypnosis session goes awry. The movie does a solid job mixing psychological elements with spooky supernatural thrills.
