12 Underrated Recent Horror Movies You NEED To See
9. Before I Wake
Released in 2015 to little acclaim and soon forgotten, Before I Wake is a twisty, surprisingly poignant fantasy horror which deserves to be rediscovered by fans of the genre.
If "poignant" isn't a word you typically associate with successful entries into the genre better known for prompting some serious pants s****ing, it's worth noting that the film comes from the helmer responsible for Netflix's critically acclaimed Haunting of Hill House television adaptation, another project which managed to marry serious scares with a touching story of family.
One of many underrated early Mike Flanagan movies, this film's story of a troubled boy whose dreams and nightmares come to life in the night.
The film also introduced the world to the talents of Room's precocious star Jacob Tremblay, who carries the potentially cringeworthy premise with a stellar performance.
