10 More Horror Movies Hated By Critics But Audiences Loved
7. Fallen
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 40%
A rare foray into the horror genre for Denzel Washington, Gregory Hoblit's Fallen was largely met with critical indifference upon release, with reviewers feeling that it didn't make the most of its intriguing premise, as Washington's detective protagonist hunts down a copycat serial killer with diabolic origins.
Audiences of today don't quite agree with critics, though, because while Fallen was a brutal box office flop upon release, it performed well on home video and has steadily built up a cult following over the last quarter-century.
Fallen's audience rating currently sits at a rock solid 72%, with many believing it to be one of Washington's most underrated films to date. And they're absolutely right - with its unnerving tone, slick style, twisty plot, and killer central performance from Washington, it's absolutely a movie worth checking out despite what the Tomatometer might tell you.
