10 Massively Underrated Horror Movies

10. House Of The Devil

Ti West's House of the Devil works as both a homage to vintage '70s and ‘80s horror, and an unsettling supernatural-slasher hybrid in its own right. The film was shot using 16mm film to give it a stylish, old-school look and is chock full of great scares.

Although the setup is generic, involving a financially struggling college student who takes on an ill-fated babysitting job, the movie shuns gratuitous gore and brash jump-scares in favour of slow-burning suspense and palpable tension.

It's Hitchcockian in its build-up and effortlessly straddles the line between the slasher and haunted house subgenres, while evoking memories of classic films from both.

The characters are complex and their motivations fleshed out, but the vintage cinematography is the star of the show in House of the Devil, making it one hell of a love letter to the glory days of contemporary horror.
