12 Underrated Recent Horror Movies You NEED To See

2. The Hallow

Director Corin Hardy may not have won over many critics with his most recent film, The Conjuring Cinematic Universe spin-off The Nun, but there's a reason the filmmaker was trusted with a Hollywood horror so early in his career.

And that reason is 2015's superb The Hallow, an Irish indie horror which benefits from a brilliant pair of central performances and some stunning rural scenery.

This ambitious home invasion horror features terrifying, child-abducting goblin faeries ripped straight from Irish mythology in a simple but brutally effective story of a young couple besieged by the beasts and forced to fight them off in order to save their newborn baby.
