10 Great Horror Movies You Probably Missed
February 18th, 2010 by GuestChristian Toto is a veteran journalist and film critic whose movie reviews are heard on WTOP radio and “The Dennis Miller Show.” He blogs on film at What Would Toto Watch?
Horror fans can’t be pleased about the state of the blood-soaked genre. Hollywood seems more interested in cranking out tepid remakes and reboots of classic horror movies (see the upcoming Nightmare on Elm Street) rather than surprising us with something original.
The shock success of Paranormal Activity in 2009 stands as a rare - and welcome - exception.
Plenty of smart and creepy horror films have come out in recent years, but there’s a good chance they never played at a theater near you. No matter, since the DVD shelves are a fine place to discover some buried horror treasures.
Consider these 10 films the next time you’re in the mood for a good fright and want to steer clear of another mindless slasher film.
1. Splinter (2008)
The setup is simple. Two couples seek shelter in a convenience store after someone - or something - attacks them. The dynamic between the couples provides its own sense of danger, but so, too, does the mysterious creature slamming itself against the store’s window front trying to break in. The clever visual effects leave audiences unsure exactly what’s trying to gobble up the protagonists, and you’ll be rooting for the film’s heavy, played with gusto by Shea Whigham.
2. Eden Lake (2008)
This British chiller follows a couple eager for a romantic camping trip. What they stumble onto is a pack of unruly teenagers who terrorize them at every turn. Lake doesn’t need monsters or vampires to leave us breathless. It’s the thought of everyday kids running amok that does the trick.
3. Rogue (2007)
A killer croc movie? Pass. Not so fast. This Aussie import provides some beautiful scenery and expertly crafted thrills. The attractive cast doesn’t hurt, including Michael Vartan of Alias fame and the under-rated Radha Mitchell (Melinda and Melinda)
4. The House of the Devil (2009)
This 2009 film paid homage to the early ’80s horror movies with one big difference. It’s actually smarter and more satisfying than the films from the time period it’s emulating. A broke college student decides to take a babysitting gig in a creepy old mansion. Bad move. Fun movie. Just be patient. The film starts very slowly and takes some time before it reaches the boiling point.
5. Shuttle (2008)
This shocker is less a pure horror film than a nail-biting thriller, but there’s enough blood spilled to qualify for the genre. A group of travelers make their way onto an airport shuttle to deliver them back home. The shuttle bus driver has other plans. You might not believe some of the twists that soon unfold, but the film barrels forward at a breakneck pace.
6. Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006)
The slasher genre gets skewered in this sly horror comedy. A wannabe serial killer named Leslie Vernon hires a documentary crew to shoot the dawn of his killing spree. This no-budget affair offers some funny observations on the horror genre and manages to be creepy as Leslie goes to work.
7. Wolf Creek (2005)
This one is unsettling, plain and simple. Three travelers, lost in the Australian Outback, run into a charismatic local who knows the lay of the land. That’s all that can be shared about the film without giving too much away. Director Greg McLean, who is also responsible for Rogue, takes his sweet time before unleashing the evil. But when it comes … it hits about as hard as a horror film can. Not for the squeamish.
8. Pontypool (2008)
This sleeper might be the most cerebral shocker on this list. It’s the tale of a wizened disc jockey trying to maintain his cool as a zombie-like outbreak spreads across the town. Don’t expect blood and guts mayhem, just psychological terror anchored by a great lead performance from Stephen McHattie.
9. The Midnight Meat Train (2008)
Horror fans couldn’t wait for this feature, an adaptation of one of author Clive Barker’s creepier tales. But the film’s studio rushed it into but a few theaters before it raced to DVD. Train isn’t a classic by any means. The ending is a bit bloodless, dramatically speaking, but it’s one of the more brutal horror films in recent years, should that be your cup of joe. Vinnie Jones provides a terrifying screen presence as a passenger to be avoided at all costs.
10. Slither (2006)
Think horror-comedy and films like Shaun of the Dead and An American Werewolf in London rush to mind, and for good reason. But this no-nonsense thriller is a perky blend of laughter and gross-out moments. A meteor crashes to earth, bringing with it a creature eager to infiltrate a small Midwestern town. Firefly’s Nathan Fillion finds the right tongue in cheek groove to make this romp a guiltless pleasure.

Midnight Meat Train is a perfect example of so bad it’s good. My friend and I watched it when we saw the title on demand. So very prime for riffing.
For example, how did the guy get the job at the meat packaging plant in the first place? What must that interview have been like?
“Well, we’ve reviewed your resume and we’ve noticed you left Al’s Meat Packaging. What were you reasons for leaving?”
“…”
“Hmm…Do you have any medical conditions we should know about?”
*Rips open shirt*
“Hmm…You start Monday!”

Eden Lake was a true horror film, superbly written and paced, the acting was well done even with the younger actors in the film. Very believable, very chilling. Slither was an excellent blend of horror, comedy and gore. An enjoyable movie, again with good acting that made it’s horror and gore more palatable.

To start off, movies like Wolf Creek don’t really appeal to my love of Horror movies the way one should. I mean, to start off, watching extended rape/molestation scenes is one of those things that, to me, is more annoying than “scary”. The Hills Have Eyes (remake mostly) was guilty of the same thing. I mean, everyone knows about rape. We know it exists. And yes, the prospect of being raped is, in and of itself, a “scary thought”. However, when portrayed on the big screen it does little more than cause the viewer to be uncomfortable and awkward. Most of the reason that old classics put random boob shots and sex scenes in the movies were to a) appeal to the male viewers and b) form a kind of setting establishing who the next person is that’s going to die (because they’re sinners). This worked. Boys got the boobs without feeling completely awkward about looking at them and it made you care more about the killer ultimately… That and since the rape scenes generally don’t do anything for the plot in movies like that (sans Last House on the Last, etc.) it’s kind of just annoying to watch after a while… It’s just too overdone.
As for The Midnight Meat Train, it was kind of like watching an M. Night Shamalan movie. The whole time building this vaguely interesting story, only to let the viewer down with one of the most retarded plot twists imaginable. Sometimes this works, yes… But honestly, the mystery of the movie itself was completely destroyed by the final scene and the only thing I thought by the time the credits rolled was, “what the fuck!?” It was just… stupid… I mean, if you want to make a movie about the supernatural… Cool, fine. But don’t muck it up by throwing it in last minute because you can’t think of a better ending. It’s lazy.
And no, it wasn’t stupid in a good way… It was just kind of annoying-stupid. Evil Dead 2, that was so bad it was good. Midnight Meat Train might of accomplished this, if they didn’t try so hard to make the story serious all the way through, only to smack you in the face with demons.

The other four I havent seen. WOLF CREEK was average.
The following 2 I havent seen. SLITHER was ok…. (I prefer films (HORROR) to be serious rather than comedic (Although BRAINDEAD is a classic))

I’ve only seen a couple of the movies on the list, so I have to thank you for it. Splinter is already in my Netflix queue and I will surely be adding the others to it as well, with the exception of Midnight Meat Train (which I was lucky enough to record off of HDNet Movies and watched around Halloween of ‘08) and Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, which I was just really happy to see on the list.
I bought Behind the Mask based on a short review when it came out and have watched it 3 times with various friends just so I could share it. Nice to see it show up on a list like this and get a bit more exposure!

The only film on the list I haven’t seen (or own a copy of) is the house of the devil. Somehow, anything with “devil” in the title tends to get right past me. I just find anything “devilish” to be a bore-fest usually. maybe it’s the atheist in me? Regardless, a pretty good list. “Many have problems. The camera work in Splinter nearly ruined the movie for me. “Rogue” is a decent giant animal movie, but you need to enjoy that going in. Umm, My favorite of the bunch was probably “Slither” but it’s very subjective.
If these are considered “probably not seen”, what about “Martyrs”, which actually scared and disturbed me, or “Frontiers”, which rivals any typical chase and gore film. Or the new classic “let the Right One In”? If we are too sheltered to read or speak other languages, how about the remakes of “Funny Games” or “Long Weekend”?
I’m not saying this isn’t a good list. Maybe it should have been 20 or 30 movies though.

CrackedPepper, just exactly how was Wolf Creek (January 2005) a rip-off of Hostel (January 2006)? I must have missed that.
This list is superb. I’ve gotten all of these except for Slither (not a fan of comedy + horror), Behind the Mask (sounds a lot like Man Bites Dog, yeah…) and Rogue (still unsure of the concept). Wolf Creek was probably my favorite, closely followed by Eden Lake. They’re genuinely terrifying and leave you uncomfortable, which is what a good horror film SHOULD do.
Shuttle was kind of a long journey of suspense, but it wasn’t bad. I appreciated the tone of The House of the Devil, even if it did take forever to get to its point. Splinter is average, but not bad either. Pontypool is very original and creative, but I felt it was lacking something.
Midnight Meat Train was the only one I saw prior to viewing this list, and I liked it. It’s different from most “slashers”, I would say.
I would highly recommend Ravenous–it’s more of a black comedy, but it has horror elements. And of course, Session 9 is great as well.

I hope you people realize that Wolf Creek wasn’t a rip off of ANYTHING… it is a movie about something that actually happened. They did add a character or two to make the story more interesting mind you… this was NOT, I repeat, NOT, a rip off of Hostel but a film based on REAL events… Why do people call movies rip offs so much… when you boil it down, nearly all movies are rip offs in some way or another. I mean this in that, man makes horror film for first time, and people rip off the idea to make horror films also… and then people put twists on old movies, do remakes etc…

Midnight Meat Train was one of the best films I’ve seen so far, maybe because of the gore and violence, and those scenes that makes you wanna hold onto your teeth. Anyway, about that one who is questioning on how the hell did the killer worked on the meat shop whatever, well, for one, even that investigator/police worked with him so there’s a lot of possibilities on how they can come up with working on a meat shop, or police station or even the train man! It has a lot to offer, although it ended tragically, it is somewhat different compare to other movies wherein all is saved at the end. Midnight Meat Train left me wanting for more, although I think if there will be a sequel, it won’t be as good as this one considering the plots have been laid out.

I’ve seen about half of what’s on the list and the trailers for the rest. SHUTTLE did look promising, as did PONTYPOOL and HOUSE OF THE DEVIL. EDEN LAKE looks and sounds kind of like the excellent French film ILS (THEY), which itself was the basis for the American “remake” THE STRANGERS, so I don’t know about that one. Had a great time with both SLITHER and SPLINTER. Nathan Fillion can do no wrong in my book, (kind of like Bruce Campbell and Jeffrey Combs), and Shea Whigham is somebody I definitely kept an eye out for after his amazing performance (and sure enough, he snagged a major role in HBO’S BOARDWALK EMPIRE right beside Steve Buscemi.)
MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN was a huge letdown for me, mostly because I expected more from the director of VERSUS, and I don’t think they went as far as they could go with a lot of things. Using shitty-looking CG blood and other effects really dumbed-down the shocks. Like HELLRAISER, they should’ve gone with all practical-effects…maybe this is one they should’ve let Clive himself direct. Plus I think I’m pretty much over Bradley Cooper in anything that’s NOT THE HANGOVER.
Nice to see a lot of fan-love shown here for FRONTIER(S) - GREAT, disturbing “road movie”. (I wonder when they’ll do a remake here….) Torture porn just isn’t my cuppa tea. Tried HOSTEL and wasn’t all that wowed by it, though it did have some great sequences and makeup work. So WOLF CREEK would probably get a big pass from me. Everything in this category these days wants to outdo the original LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT - including THAT remake. The only thing that actually did (at least for me) was HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER.
LESLIE VERNON was incredibly clever, and Nathan Baesel is another one of these guys to watch out for. Radha Mitchell made a fan out of me after PITCH BLACK, so I would give ROGUE a fair shot (but LAKE PLACID is a sentimental favorite.)
You probably could have done a Top Twenty and included some other gems that flew under the radar for most people, like BABY BLUES, a movie that takes post-partum depression to an unspeakable place; Eric Red’s really nerve-wracking 100 FEET; Lucky McKee’s MAY; THE GRAVEDANCERS, which has some problems but is still VERY creepy when you’re in the right mood; Michael Dougherty’s awesome anthology TRICK ‘R’ TREAT; CLOSET SPACE - an ambitious and inventive low-budget gorefest by Texas director Mel House, (who has an even bigger mindfuck coming out called WALKING DISTANCE); LAID TO REST, a brutal slasher in the same vein as SPLINTER, directed by SFX wiz Robert Hall; SWEATSHOP (which may not be out on DVD yet), a rave-to-the-grave epic by another good Texas indie guy, Stacy Davidson; THE SUPER, a great Seventies grindhouse throwback from a couple of horror-lovin’ guys from Brooklyn, and the great British slasher/black comedy SEVERANCE…think OFFICE SPACE meets DELIVERANCE by way of DOG SOLDIERS.

I have watched Nightmare in Elm Street and it was horrifying. I couldn’t even get to sleep. The effects was great. I’ll be on a movie marathon this weekend. I will watch the movies you listed here and I just hope I can still keep my eyes close and sleep with ease.

Except Wolf Creek was released before hostel and was based on a real serial killer who was never caught. Where as Hostel was completely fictional.

The house of the devil was one of the worst movies I have ever watched and my husband and I have watched a million films. We were looking for a good horror film we have never seen before and this website popped up on google, should’ve listened to my better instincts and skipped this one. However per other reviews, we will be watching EdenLake soon. Just skip The House of the Devil, it’s terrible.

I have seen every movie on this list and agree with most of them. Eden Lake, Pontypool, House of the Devil=some of my all-time favorites. This is a great list because, having worked at a movie store, I know you have to slog your way through some TERRIBLE B-horror movies to find anything halfway decent and these are some Gems.

Wolf Creek is not as many people think. Not that good and the end of the movie is can of disapointing

You’ve got some really nice horror films on your list. The only one that I’ve seen and really didn’t like is Wolf Creek. It just didn’t do it for me for some reason. I’m not saying it was terrible, but to me it was just so-so.
