It is a real rental place, but only the chosen can be members.

Same

Indeed!

Yeah someone wrote my might down.

That would be so awesome

he might have seen prats of it and did not ever see most of it or check the title...when you seen so many films with darkness and prince in the title they blend together I bet ...if he saw clips of it he would remember

@@razkable What kind of bizarre logic is that?

@@Pdalow cognitive memory, I can never remember someone's name, im just the worse when it comes to it, but show me their face and ill remember them right away

Haha doom I like doom as well though. It's not awful.

I didn't hate it. But I went in expecting a mindless popcorn flick and that's exactly what I got so I wasn't disappointed. I honestly didn't know why critics/audiences were so hard on it, were they expecting 2001: A Space Odyssey? It's a sci-fi/action/video game movie and I've seen much dumber movies in all three genres that get more love than Doom.

@@BrownSugar-bu3nf I think cuz it wasn’t anything like the doom games

Don't.

No no please continue

Yes. I suppose he is. That's very clever.

Best CGI ever

Yeah it's a great addition to the "underrated Halloween season movies" list. I love that film. Super creepy, makes you think, and a good Carpenter score.

Prince of Datkness creeped me out for some reason. Most of the movie was so so, but the end, when it is revealed that it is the chick under the hood left too many questions unanswered.

Agreed, great pick!

Loved this movie. Got it on DVD as soon as it was released.

Candyman got some attention when he was put in the fan made horror fighting game, "Terrordrome." You should check it out!

Sweets to the Sweet....

Still one of the most terrifying movies I’ve ever seen.

@@mattdecker8724 I think so too

Yeah Candyman is really a great film, with an excellent lead performance from Tony Todd.

Excellent choices, I'd also add Exorcist 3.

Christine by John Carpenter as well.

Possession is fecking insane!

@@Ben-xl7ft Good Fucken' Movie (TM)

@@Ben-xl7ft Possession is phenomenal! It's such a twisted "mindfuck" movie, but grounded in a realistic portrayal of a crumbling marriage. Probably has the best performance in a horror movie too by Isabelle Adjani. That movie is just insane. Deserves much more recognition.

Its a fun movie.

i loved it, bought t on dvd years ago.

agreed. Thought it was going to be hot garbage, but it was eminently watchable.

Oh hell yeah. That's a solid movie

Dog Soldiers is the Dogs Bollocks.

i love when he throws the fit and says that enough of this yippy ty ay shit and throws the hat down and stuff lol :) i think im remembering that scene right

Did you just say Billy Zane was zany?

This is the third comment picking a perfect movie. I saw this when I was 8 wanted to kill demons and drink blood of christ and make demon barriers on public buses just a bad ass pick dude

Billy Zane was soooo great in that, he was a villain that was really fun to watch.

And that soundtrack was great for it's time. The Biohazard song SMOKES.

It is underrated it's so cool that it connects the slasher movies

Written by Frank Darabont. Who also wrote Nightmare on Elm Street 3.

the one from 1988 yea not steve mcqueen yea its an awesome film i have a copy of that one on vhs

Yeah talk about it in one of the other vids

Oh shit, I remember that. At the time I didnt know it was a remake because I was 7 or 8 when it came out. Good selection.

The only real problem the remake had was how the remakes male lead was a complete charisma vacuum compared to Steve McQueen, but since the film had literally *EVERYTHING* *ELSE* going for it in terms of special effects and casting, I really don't understand why it hasn't received the major cult status of other overlooked 80's horror films.

Easily.

@@Skullkan6 Did I ever tell you my favourite color is blue?

Do you read Sutter cane?

I would LOVE to do Ravenous.

Those are all great choices.

I love Ravenous, I watch it at least once a year

"Ravenous" is more of an allegorical dark comedy than a horror movie.

Ravenous is great.

Which pick?

Mikes useless at rental reviews, barely has anything to say, and when he does it’s horse shit.

Prince of Darkness is one of the best horror movies ever made. It has some of the most original ideas of God and Satan that has ever been put to film. It's also one of the most bleakest and original endings that I can think of.

Yeah! I couldn´t believe it!

Agreed, can't believe there hasn't even been a Monster Madness review for Prince of Darkness.

Seriously. I didn't see Prince of Darkness until I was thirty something. But even then the VHS scenes disturbed me. Excellent movie.

Everything Carpenter does is ridiculously overrated. He hasn't made a single decent movie in thirty years but has made a lot of terrible ones.

Hard to believe none of them had seen (or apparently heard of) Prince of Darkness. I watched that so many times as a kid.

Yeah. I've seen them all, and I'm not even that big of a fan. The Thing is the only film he's made that's actually a classic, in my opinion.

teppolundgren well you’re stupid

My dad told me about seeing this movie at a drive in theater in 1976 where a guy dressed as the killer was hired to stalk the audience and act creepy....the story of that alone scared the shit out of me to the point I've never watched it

For real. It blows my mind that none of them had ever seen a cult classic Carpenter movie.

Amazing movie - one of my favorite Halloween flicks period. It's maybe a little on the slow side to start is the only reason I can think of.

Thought the same ... was also shocked to hear it being considered underrated ...

What do you mean, it's a classic and a lot of people know about it?

Don Scott This would be my pic too, it’s actually a surprisingly competent film for the cheesy concept.

Nah. The film was bad, and the book even worse. It's such a stupid story. Fucking Disney bad.

The effects were surprisingly good for the time, too

Bullfrog Jay such an underrated classic!

Great one! Pumpkinhead is the shit!

Lance hendriksen was awesome in it. This movie stood the test of time imho.

This is my resting face I just watched it again and really dug its vibe, very unique. Lance is great and I really felt his loss when his boy died. Being a father myself made that part of the movie have more impact than the last time I watched it.

Definitely underrated and it still holds up to this day

Someone has to do it

Well Sycho Sid is one of my top 5 wrestlers of all time, so thanks for pointing that out. That was so random.

Thank you.

Simon Ferocious

Because we all miss the goddamn 90's. Thank you sir

Cube was awesome!

That film fucked my head up was a great film

I suppose it depends on how you classify something as horror. Great movie nonetheless.

Cube is one of my favorites of all time! I like all the Cube movies.

The Unknown Psycho even more underrated is Gate 2.

I have the gate and I never seen gate 2.

Agreed 100%, this is the ultimate under-rated horror movie.

"I live within the weak and in the wounded" chills

meerkatz Couldn't agree more. Very good movie. I rewatched it just now.

True, but I know many overrated like Exorcist. It was good back then, but nowadays it is mostly laughable.

Good point.

Not really. I remember it follows, get out and IT getting major critical praise and attention

@@daltonwilliams1723 I saw It Follows when it came out. It was absolutely stupid and unintentionally hilarious to me.

@@nealmcbealthenavysealicall794 I've only seen IT from those I listed. I was just pointing out ones that have gotten major media attention

That movie is great!

Amen

You meant the "Memento" of horror films? Yeah . . .

Jacobs Ladder isn't a horror movie

@@manicscarecrow3011 it kinda is though. wouldn't watch it with my grandma

Katie Persons upvote this comment for Imgur terminology! :)

reallydumbforeal1 hey, cut it out...

Nightbreed is awesome, too

Which version of Carnival of Souls? I think there was more than one version of that film.

The original from the 1960s,the 90s remake is a waste of time

Yes! Chopping mall is awesome

I need to watch Carnival of Souls. There's this criterion closet video where a director says it's alright to only make one film if it's as good as Carnival of Souls. James loves it too, I thought it would be on his new top movies list to be honest.

Check out "Clownhouse"

Yes! Weird vibes in a good way

Yeah, that one's good. And it's sort of based on the Donner party as well, so that lends it a lot more credibility. I always stock up on food before watching that one.

Good call!

Excellent movie.

The 9th Gate is hardly ever mentioned & seems to count as "under-rated",from what I can see here... I don't think anyone can count any of the "House of 1000" movies as "under-rated" really... The 1 U mentioned is actually his HIGHEST-RATED movie of ALL that he's done,so far(almost 7-out-of-10)... However,if you're naming 1,I'll mention my FAV of his "lesser-known/under-appreciated" 2. That is,both "31" AND "The Lords of Salem" are equally under-rated(and NOT part of any well-known series of his)... However,I prefer the cerebral to the physical,in this case... Meaning,I liked "The Lords of Salem",more than "31". Altho,I enjoyed both movies,I think the overall "creepiness" & "atmospheric/haunting" horror of "TLoS" is more interesting & it has a better story/setting,overall... Not sure it counts as "Under-rated" except in the LITERAL sense tho(it's only got a score of 5-out-of-10,apparently)...

Eh See yes ! Love that movie !!! I used to rent that movie all the time.

My dad showed it to me a few years ago, I thought it was pretty good.

“Leave a sample in the jar please.”

Fuck yeah.

THIS. Scared the shit out of me and my friend years ago. We always said it was the scariest movie we'd ever seen.

very goog choice.

"Leading, leading, leading to the everlasting light!"

@@Popcultureguy3000 Why is this film not held in higher regard as a must see?

Agree 100%

@@RonSaari-nt7qz It is

Mine is probably The Thing with Vampires a very close second, James Woods keeps asking about the priests boner, makes me crack up every time.

My favorite Carpenter movie is "Christine".

Better than They live? That film is so awesome

Easily The Thing for me.

I saw Deep Red thanks to a DVD box-set of "Horror Classics"... So,it would be possible for ppl who buy cheap horror movie sets! xD Anyway,"Deep Red" is an AMAZING early "slasher" with detective/thriller/suspense elements mixed-in. And,it's "dark" locations(literally,given the natural lighting,in most cases) give it a really somber/lonely feel. Which,makes it a GREAT "atmospheric" movie,as well... VERY good movie! :)

Midori ¿eres tú? :0

Yes!!! Such a great movie!

I think the fact that the film was left in the shadows is due to the fact that during that time, Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical became extremely popular and nobody wanted to see the original monster.

Yeah, if you remove the modern-day bookends, it's a pretty solid little period piece horror film.

it would have been even better if it starred Robert Smith

That trilogy was good.

Blood Feast!

The InvictusSamaritan YES

No you’re not alone.

It was a good idea. Anthologies

I love Halloween 3. It just puts you in that Halloween mood

And Night of the Creeps. Tom Atkins kicks ass.

Outlaw GT it would be sad if you were a teen but it takes a while new league of sadness to know that you are a 40 year old man who collects guns

Yea thats a good one

Just avoid the sequel.

Good pick. I actually expected it to be a trash bargain bin movie but I really enjoyed it as well

I agree

The Descent is honestly one of the most terrifying movies I've ever seen. I'm claustrophobic as fuck, and the scenes of them cave diving down, their bodies just squeezing and scraping against the tight spaces...it just kills me. I have to get up and walk around during those scenes. Then the monsters come...fuck. excellent movie.

Nice choice although I hate part 4.

@@jwnj9716 I love Phantasm II the most

The thing about the Phantasm series, is the plot is flipped on it's side by the last film making it not what you originally think it's about. But I'd agree that Phantasm II was the best film of the series.

Coraline is a good call. I never see it on any lists but its a Creepy Masterpiece.

Paranornan ?

Horror Express (1972) with Christopher Lloyd and Peter Cushing.

Prince of Darkness is one of Carpenters "End of the World" Trilogy. Other two are Thing, and In the Mouth of Madness. Great movies.

I just watched it a couple of months ago I thought it was ok, not great.

It’s kinda similar to event horizon

great soundtrack

Well demons are decribed as being fallen angels (aliens) and with doom setting the standard for demons being interdimentional demons... I believe demons are from anoth dimention

Agreed. Feels like '80's into '90's commercials... :)

I watched it just last week, it was alright but it felt like there were large swaths of it missing.

Yeah Lifeforce is great , but yeah underrated.

@@n0m4nic Yeah, the movie's development problems are to blame. The development history is kind of interesting. Check out Oliver Harper's Retrospective on it if you're curious.

Martyrs is so fucking good

Yeh, Jackob's Ladder was good one!

Night of the Demons is one of my faves.

I dunno, Jacob's Ladder is among my favorite films of all time but "underrated"? It's constantly popping up on greatest horror film lists and so on, it didn't get the attention it deserved at the time, but it's really become a massive classic...

@@jonnisko And then he tears a guys intestines out and flails them about. Yeah, that Night of The Demon is the greatest film of all-time.

Would have been interesting if they would have followed through with the plan for the Halloween movies to be an anthology series

yea i like halloween 3 i say it would fall in under rated catogory cause ppl didnt like it cause michael myers was not in it lol

The Night Flyer was just amazing. Trully deserve a place in the underated list.

Transylvania 6-5000!! Yes!!

Terror Vision!! Forgot about that one! lol Loved it

Does Transylvania 6-5000 officially count tho??? It's a "Horror-Comedy". Do those count as under-rated horror-movies??? I thought only serious horror-movies were being "counted" here... Either way,I agree; it's an under-rated movie & I like it,as well... :)

Do U mean the net-flix series "Night Flyer"??? If so,then I agree it's WAY under-rated... The fact the 2nd season got canceled shows just how under-appreciated it was... Altho,not surprising that modern audiences didn't like it(too complex/confusing for them)... Anyway,I could rant on about it's cancellation,but will spare ever1... ;)

Yeah I was actually surprised how much I liked that movie.

Completely underrated and feels more like The Thing, in terms of presentation. Carpenter is the master of independent horror cinema; a close second to Romero.

Profundo Rosso is better. That's Deep Red to you.

Omfg a masterpiece!

Deep red?

@@UltimateNinja-fe6yh I already mentioned Deep Red yesterday. Pay attention, bitch.

@@PotatoeSnow Yeah that's very true, I didn't even know about nor see Inferno until years after I saw Suspiria back in '04

behind the couch probably. XD

He died years ago, being left in the AVGN room as a skeleton behind the couch. He was killed by means of Battletoads.

@@HeadacheCentral he was brought back to life during the ikari warriors episode. So he's alive again.

@@genepool4783 ah yes, but for how long? *cue Twilight Zone theme*

the book 'the keep' by f.paul wilosn is amazing!!..read it 3 times!

Watched this on Netflix recently, was really impressed.

The Keep's on Netflix?!

I've been trying to get hold of The Keep for years. The problem I'm having is I want it on VHS. Not easy to find unless I'm willing to spend a small fortune.
