10 Lesser Known Horror Movies That Are 100% Worth Your Time
1. Ghostwatch
If you enjoyed the riveting recent Late Night with the Devil, you should check out its crystal clear inspiration - 1992's British mockumentary Ghostwatch.
Ghostwatch, which has only ever been aired on British TV once, is presented as a real, live TV special in which the hosts - including real UK talkshow host Michael Parkinson - investigate the apparent presence of a poltergeist at a house in Greater London.
Despite its paranormal nature, the show's note-perfect technical plausibility caused the BBC to receive roughly 1 million phone calls to their switchboard, ranging from panicked hysteria about the featured activity to compliments about the broadcast's convincing production.
Even when watched today, decades removed from its original showing, Ghostwatch is a stunning monument to creativity in the horror genre, and how a unique format can elevate superficially familiar subject matter.
Above all else, though, it remains an expertly crafted exercise in slow-creeping unease, ensuring it's virtually peerless in the horror mock-doc subgenre.
