12 Most Underrated Horror Movies From The 2000s

11. Samurai Princess

From the writer of Tokyo Gore School comes Samurai Princess, which casts Japanese porn star Aino Kishi as a genetically modified warrior who takes takes revenge on the bandits that left her and her friends for dead. Rebooted as a ninja android by a mad scientist, her built-in weapons include swords, chainsaws and explosives, including a very special kind of €œbooby trap.€ She€™s still anatomically correct, though, and reveals as much to the viewer whenever the villains are offscreen. Along the way, faces are sliced in half, a man€™s brain is removed so that Kishi can €œquestion it directly€ and skeletons are torn from bodies. In one scene, Kishi cuts off one unfortunate€™s nose, ears and hands before serving them up in a stew to his colleagues, disproving the adage that revenge is a dish best served cold.
