10 Most Underrated Horror Movies Of 2019

10. Aniara

One to add to the 'space is scary as !*$%' genre (yes that's a thing), Aniara is about a commuter ship travelling from Earth to Mars.

The general idea is that the trip should only last three weeks, but a few days in the ship is thrown off course, and to spoil what happens next would be to ruin the existential dread of the unknown that courses through the veins of this Swedish sci-fi thriller.

There are major questions that Aniara poses as its characters remain stuck in stasis (What is the meaning of life? Is living on a spaceship all that much worse than being on Earth? How many mad sex orgies could you theoretically fit into one 24-hour period?) but few answers, and it's kinda of like the equivalent of being left with your own thoughts, only occasionally they're violently interrupted by a cult forming down the hallway.

It's not the most original film, and comparisons can be made to a bunch of other flicks like this year's High Life and, weirdly enough, Threads, but it's always accomplished and smart, and one of the most unnerving films 2019 had to offer.
