10 Most Underrated 2000s Horror Movies

Another from the dank depths of the found footage catalogue, Noroi: The Curse is a Japanese take on the mockumentary format; a film that explores the disappearance of a paranormal investigator as he researches his latest work. It's extremely long, impressively complicated, and all around strange - but that's what makes it such an interesting movie to dissect as it plays out. There's nowhere else you're going to see tinfoil hat-wearers babbling about cosmic ectoplasmic worms in the same stretch as demonic entities getting their possession on, really.

To try and put semblance to the plot sees three different supernaturally affected lives come together under the umbrella of an ancient evil, revealing a horrifying truth and a crazy ending that makes the two hours of investment worth it. Not your average J-horror movie in the slightest, Noroi is a slow burning, atmospheric horror with a great pay off - building its horror through interviews and documentary footage before slamming the scariness home.
