10 Underrated Horror Movies Currently Streaming On Netflix

6. Landmine Goes Click

What's It About? Chris (Sterling Knight), an American tourist, unwittingly steps on an armed land mine while backpacking through the Georgian countryside.

Trapped and unable to move, he is forced to watch while his lover, Alicia, is humiliated, attacked and brutalised by a stranger who stumbles upon the situation.

Why You Should Watch It: Landmine Goes Click carries the most 'gimmicky' concept on this list, but it's such an engaging one that you can forgive it's admittedly contrived setup.

The reason Chris ends up stood on the mine feels incredibly forced, but the movie quickly (and wisely) moves on from this and delves into the 'what-if' situation at hand.

And from here, it's a solid horror-thriller. The ordeal Alicia is forced to endure - including her eventual sexual assault - isn't exactly pleasant viewing, but the shock factor helps the movie's third-act twist (and subsequent conclusion) feel earned.

Landmine Goes Click certainly won't go down as a classic, but its tight script and strong performances elevate it above just a plain-old, bread and butter conceptual thriller.
