Underrated, underseen horror movies. A mixture of women-directed horror, house of psychotic women, MURDERDRONE, slasher sequels, goofiness and stupidity, experimental films, lesser-seen Hammer horrors, hidden gems, and movies you will be baffled that I like.
Collectively or corporately produced lists tend to favor the same films we've all seen.
