10 More Horror Movies Hated By Critics But Audiences Loved

10. Underworld

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 31%

Critics didn't have much kind to say about Len Wiseman's 2003 vampire-werewolf actioner Underworld, largely dismissing it as a stylish yet monotonous genre exercise that came and went without making much of a dent.

But general viewers had way more of a blast, per its 79% audience approval rating, not to mention the fact that it was a surprise box office hit, grossing almost $100 million worldwide and in turn kickstarting a wildly popular - if consistently critically eviscerated - five-film franchise.

Needless to say, the prospect of watching Kate Beckinsale kick ass in skin-tight PVC was far more alluring to audiences than critics, and resulted in a series with over half a billion dollars in box office receipts thus far. But beyond that, Underworld's Gothic style was so perfectly attuned to the mainstream tastes of the early 2000s, and releasing a few years before Twilight as it did, audiences hadn't yet grown tired of seeing vamps and werewolves duke it out.
