Underrated Horror Film/Book and Rating
The most people see in the realm of horror are the cheep, unoriginal, non-unique, jump-scare-based films that Hollywood considers "blockbusters". It is a stagnant pool which lacks creativity and truthfully tarnishes the good name of horror.
So what out there are some really good horror films/books that you feel should be known more? Are they good simply for the scare effect? Or is there more to it? I am not looking for just a movie that will scare people. I want to know about horror stories that are actual stories, not just horror. Something that should define horror more than Insidious or The Conjuring films. Give some detail as to why you think they are underrated and unique to the horror genre.
Happy writing,
The Ellipsis Writer

Wonderful! Thank you very much for the suggestion!EmperorOfBooks wrote:A VERY OVERLOOKED Horror film, which is one of my favorites, is Hush. It follows a deaf author being chased by a murderer in her cabin in the wood, but as the movie goes on, it gets SOOOOO much better. It can be found on Netflix, and I highly recommend it.

I agree! Same with the movie Don't Breathe by Dylan Minnette. A group of friends tried to break into the house of a blind man who's a retired soldier. They planned to stole the money that he got from his daughter's accident. For me, it is so cool that you end up having mixed emotions because of the story that you unexpectedly think.EmperorOfBooks wrote: ↑31 Mar 2017, 19:04 A VERY OVERLOOKED Horror film, which is one of my favorites, is Hush.

The original has absolutely zero jump scares, and it relies pretty on the situation and imagery to horrify the audience. It is beautifully done and is a thought-provoking story.
