10 Hidden Gem Supernatural Horror Movies

10. The Pact

With an extremely select cinema release in 2012, The Pact is one of supernatural horror's best kept modern-day secrets.

Of course, writer/director Nicholas McCarthy would clearly have preferred The Pact to be a hugely known, popular picture, but those who have seen this film can at least appreciate how darn great it is.

Very much a family affair on the spooky front, the focus of The Pact is on the Barlow clan. When their mother dies, strained sisters Annie (Caity Lotz) and Nicole (Agnes Bruckner) are left to prepare the funeral. After Nicole and a cousin go missing, Annie becomes embroiled in a supernatural mystery tied to their family home - all while Casper Van Dien's cop suspects Lotz's character of having her own nefarious intentions.

As much as The Pact is a supernatural movie, it ends up becoming just as much a 'whodunit?' picture once it gets into its final act. There are certain truths to be uncovered as the film goes on, and those truth reveals are accompanied by some great scares and moments of suspense.

It's also worth adding that a pre-Arrowverse Caity Lotz is on top, top form here, with so much of the film's heavy lifting put on her shoulders.
