10 Underrated Horror Movie Moments That Will Scar You For Life

Directed by Don't Breathe helmer Fede Alvarez, 2013's Evil Dead reboot exceeded expectations and proved a huge hit with both audiences and critics by eschewing the self referential humour of original series creator Sam Raimi's later instalments.

Instead this tense and terrifying flick opts to ape the style of the original 1983 video nasty, stripping away comic relief for an unrelenting exercise in terror. Like The Descent earlier in this list, it's not a movie many would call underrated as the flick enjoyed success upon its release and has been warmly received since.

However, there's one scare late in the flick which rarely gets credit for just how disturbing it is, most likely because of how overstuffed with chilling content this one is.

As Jane Levy's resilient final girl Mia faces down the Abomination (basically herself as a contorted demon), the thing throws a jeep on top of her to pin her in place. The trusty franchise favourite chainsaw out of her grasp, Mia makes 127 Hours look like a breeze and simply rips her own hand off by sheer force of will, in a sequence which manages to be more viscerally impactful and memorably horrifying than any of the many demonic monsters the series can muster.
