20 More of the Best Horror Movies You've Never Seen

Husk

Let’s be honest and admit that we’re all terrified of scarecrows. I don’t trust them and I want nothing to do with them. In Brett Simmons’ "Husk", we join in with a group of friends stranded at an old farmhouse. It may sound like an average horror plot, but things get weird and creepy really fast.

In the Mouth of Madness

I find Sam Neill to be one of the creepiest actors of all time. If you ever watched "Event Horizon" you’ll understand why. Neill plays an insurance investigator who is searching for a missing horror writer and although the movie is nearly 20 years old, the scares still hold up. The 90s were a bleak time for horror so this one definitely stands out above the rest.

Lovely Molly

From the director of my all time favorite horror movie, "The Blair Witch Project", "Lovely Molly" is really scary. It mixes in handheld point of view scenes, which change up the pace and gives it a personal, dark feel. Sanchez hasn’t had a blockbuster hit in a while, but this, along with "Seventh Moon", definitely prove he can still produce some solid scares.

The Collector

Doing what the "Saw" franchise wasn’t able to do since its third installment, "The Collector" takes torture to a whole new level. Imagine "Home Alone" with graphic, horrible murders. The killings are gruesome, but if that’s your thing you’ll be excited to know that the recent sequel, "The Collection", is just as good as the first.

The Poughkeepsie Tapes

Half found footage, half mockumentary, "The Poughkeepsie Tapes" is truly a terrifying movie. After police raid a New York home they discover hundreds of tapes showing the works of a serial killer over the last few decades and, be warned, it’s terrifying. If you’re looking for a movie that will stick with you for days after, you’re in luck.

V/H/S

I’ll be honest, the first time I watched "V/H/S" I was really disappointed. There was so much hype leading up to it that unless it ended with Samara from "The Ring" crawling through a TV and eating Leatherface’s arms off, it would be a letdown. Once I leveled my expectations a bit, I rewatched the found footage anthology and, for the most part, really enjoyed it. Not all of the segments are amazing, but it’s worth watching just for Ti West’s segment about a couple vacationing at the Grand Canyon.

High Tension

Boasting an NC-17 rating, "High Tension" is full of all the blood and guts you could possibly want and then some. Granted, the ending is a little disappointing and will leave you with a lot more questions than it should, it’s still a solid French horror release.

Cube

On just a $365,000 budget, Vincenzo Natali created such an incredible sci-fi/horror movie. "Cube" follows seven strangers who couldn’t be more different through a maze that’s full of tons of creative ways to die. If you’re on the fence, just watch the opening sequence and you’ll be hooked.

Creep

If a movie stars Franka Potente, I’m watching it even if it’s about paint cans. "Creep" is far from that. The 2004 UK film follows a woman who is trapped in the subway which would be bad enough, but she’s also being chased by a mutant murderer. What else could you possibly need?

Frozen

When I saw the trailer for "Frozen" I thought “Oh that’s silly, here’s how you could easily escape a stranded chairlift!” Then when I watched the movie I realized that if I’d done any of my ideas, I would be really, really dead. If you aren’t looking for demons, monsters, or murders, this is the horror movie for you.

John Dies at the End

Based on the book by David Wong, "John Dies at the End" is far from terrifying but is definitely one of the most fun horror movies in recent memory. I don’t encourage drug use but I have a strong feeling this will become a favorite among stoners. It’s directed by Don Coscarelli, known for the Phantasm movies, and is available on demand right now.

I Saw the Devil

The South Korean film is definitely the darkest on the list. It starts out with a man’s pregnant fiancée being murdered, which he obviously isn’t happy about. From there his life becomes nothing but a mission to get revenge, and slowly realizing he’s become just as evil as the man he’s after.

Grace

Probably not the best movie for new or expecting mothers, "Grace" stars the incredible Jordan Ladd as a mom whose unborn child dies then somehow returns to life with only one small catch; it only wants human blood. If you’re still reading at this point in the description then you’ve found yourself a movie for tonight!

The Ugly

I saw "The Ugly" when I was in high school and tried to be cool and pretend it didn’t scare the hell out of me. I was unsuccessful. "The Ugly" takes place in a mental hospital where a psychologist is interviewing a serial killer to try and understand his mind. Also, the blood in the movie is black. Not sure why, but for some reason I find it very cool.

The Mist

Despite a star filled cast, most people have not seen Frank Darabont’s "The Mist". While the creatures that come out of the mist aren’t that terrifying, the human aspect is truly disturbing. If you start out a little hesitant, don’t give up. The ending is one of the most jaw dropping finales I’ve ever seen.

The Signal

A weird transmission appears on every TV, cell phone, and radio in the world, which turns everyone who is exposed to it into a killer. The pacing is a little weird since it’s done in three segments by three different directors, but despite that it’s original and a lot of fun.

Hatchet 2

After the cult success of Hatchet, the sequel picks up literally where the first one left off. Danielle Harris takes the starring role this time and leads a group into the swamp that’s, unfortunately for them, haunted by the crazed killer Victor Crowley. It’s over the top in the best ways possible and just overflowing with a fantastically unnecessary amount of blood. Be on the lookout for "Hatchet 3" in 2013.

The Caller

After getting a divorce, Mary begins getting creepy phone calls from an old woman who she soon realizes is from the past. Things get really bad when she tries to break off contact with the woman, which Mary can do nothing about because she’s not even in the same time as her tormentor. Although the ending is a little ambiguous, "The Caller" is definitely worth checking out.
