Tagline: A Countdown of Horror's Hidden Gems
Plot: Fifty lesser-known horror flicks hailed by critics and genre fans as
"absolute must-sees" are given the spotlight with fun, engaging
commentary from journalists, directors, actors and critics in a
countdown like no other. Stalkers, monsters, slashers, evil dolls,
terrorized babysitters, holiday maniacs, mannequins, eerie motels, even
giant rats... they're ALL featured in "The 50 Best Horror Movies You've
Never Seen!"
My rating: 6/10
Will I watch it again? No.
The problem with any list like this is that it will rarely even satisfy 50% of the audience. Either this was made for old people, young people who are completely ignorant of anything that happened before 1995, or for people who don't watch horror movies. I mean, shit. They've got THE DESCENT, APRIL FOOL'S DAY and BLACK CHRISTMAS on the list for fuck's sake. Or maybe they made this for horror fans to give them something else to yell at the TV for. They even spoil some movies.
Say, while I'm thinking about it, it's time for people to STOP saying, "We can give away the ending. The movie's been out for ten years; you've had a chance to see it." Fuck those people. Just give a simple warning that you're going to spoil the movie. Don't make it the fault of the viewer or listener for not seeing it for fuck's sake. Jesus!
The film is overly produced with fast editing, super upbeat music (dance or techno) whenever the talking heads are, well, talking. This came out in 2014 so there are A LOT of movies that came out within a few yeras prior. I don't know why I bother with garbage like this. This one is too slick for its own good. I'd say avoid this and listen to some good podcasts that talk about obscure horror movies.
