10 Hidden Gem Supernatural Horror Movies
1. The Innkeepers
From writer/director Ti West, 2011's The Innkeepers is one of the great modern-day horror hidden gems, period.
Starring horror favourite Sara Paxton, this spooky picture is set in an old inn that's due to close imminently. With Paxton's Claire and Pat Healy's Luke as two employees tasked with overseeing the Yankee Pedlar Inn's final weekend of operation, this pair of would-be ghost hunters find the hotel's haunted history resurfacing to make sure the venue goes out with a bang.
At the centre of these supernatural shenanigans, there's the mystery of Madeline O'Malley, a jilted bride who purportedly hanged herself at the hotel in the 1800s. Throw in an actress-turned-medium (Kelly McGillis) and a suicidal old fella (George Riddle), and The Innkeepers has all of its main pieces in place.
Like certain other Ti West movies - particularly 2009's The House of the Devil and 2013's The Sacrament - The Innkeepers is a film that's brimming with style and texture, with it also offering up some genuinely great scares as the picture progresses.
If you decide to give a try to only one movie on this list, be sure to make it The Innkeepers.
