10 Underrated Horror Movies Currently Streaming On Netflix

As you'd expect with a service that hoards thousands of different films from a multitude of genres, Netflix contains a lot of stuff that just gets drowned out.

From Oscar-darling dramas to documentaries to indie thrillers, when there's a colourful, prominent Transformers or Marvel poster splashed on the home page, a lot of viewers probably won't bother looking any further than that.

Horror is arguably the biggest victim in this scenario; with most Hollywood efforts being labelled as glossy, jump-scare fests, plenty of people will tend to ignore the 'creepy killer in mask' or 'supernatural found-footage' type-films because, well, who hasn't seen that a million times over?

But sometimes, a scary movie can overcome these stereotypical concepts and actually turn out pretty damn good. Netflix contains a plethora of horror movies like this, as well as hoarding some gems that were held back by their non-existent marketing budgets or 'straight to DVD' look and feel.

And here are ten of the best - these are the forgotten, overlooked scare-fests you should whack on your Netflix list. Today.

What's It About? A married couple (Isla Fisher and Anson Mount) relocate to a mysterious vineyard in order to make a fresh start.

Once there, pregnant Eveleigh (Fisher) begins to experience a series of sinister visions, eventually coming to fear for the life of her unborn child.

Why You Should Watch It: On the surface, Visions seems like a fairy odd sell. A supernatural horror movie headed by Isla Fisher, an actress primarily know for her roles in comedies and romantic dramas?

The last time a similar situation presented itself we got Case 39 starring Renée Zellweger, an underwhelming haunted-child mystery that seemed intent on following every single genre trope with relentless precision.

But Visions - though not exactly earth-shatteringly original either - has something Case 39 doesn't; a consistently spooky atmosphere.

Whether it's Eveleigh's frequent, ghostly visions, or the cinematography - which becomes increasingly gloomy as the movie progresses - there's a constant sense of dread in the air, and this helps moments that would otherwise have seemed outlandish feel threatening.

It's not perfect, but it's enjoyable, with a cool twist and a short enough runtime that ensures the film does not outstay its welcome.
