10 Best Under-The-Radar Horror Movies

2. Green Room

Trick R Treat Sequel
A24

Green Room came out in 2015 and blew critics away with its claustrophobic and timely storyline about Neo-Nazi's. It also stars the late Anton Yelchin, as well as Patrick Stewart, Imogen Poots, and Alia Shawkat rounding out the star-studded cast, yet it's seemingly flew under-the-radar thus far.

Green Room is the metaphorical blue moon: a horror movie that's Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. It features the stars of the movie as a struggling punk band, who take a gig in a dive bar, only to realise it's a Neo-Nazi hideout. Upon realising this, the band (with their major cajones) flip off the Nazi's and almost start a riot. They're sent back to their dressing room to cool-off and avoid being killed, but then things take dark turns and murder is afoot.

Green Room is fantastic at slowly raising the stakes, heightening emotions with nuanced performances, and making you feel like you're in the room with the band, terrified to leave. It's a cramped and nerve-wrecking ride, befitting of the punk overtones.
