And today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 horror movies you forgot were awesome.

E No, you don't wanna hurt me, Grant you Shame for this list will be looking at horror movies that deserve a re watch.

These films could have been popular or well regarded at the time of their release and then faded into obscurity, been panned upon release but are actually pretty good looking back or have enthusiastic cult followings but are lacking mainstream recognition.

Do you have a favorite for gotten Jim that you feel should have made the cut?

Let us know in the comments.

Number 10, Wolf Creek.

What do you actually do?

Yeah.

Oh, I could tell you.

Then we'll have to kill you.

There aren't too many Australian entries in the classic Horror cannon, but one film that should definitely be considered is Wolf Creek, helping to revitalize the grindhouse aesthetic that had been in the midst of a resurgence upon its release.

Wolf Creek stands out from many of its contemporaries as a genuinely frightening piece of modern slasher cinema.

The plot is razor thin focusing on three Backpackers exploring the Australian Outback who are captured and menaced by a psychopathic killer named Mick.

That's not a hard This is annoying.

While basic, the power of the film lies in its commitment to the grotesque.

As it unsparingly details, each of the tourists experiences switching perspectives as their individual plights become increasingly horrific.

It ain't pretty, but it's an extremely effective potential future.

Classic Number nine as above so below with the incredible setting of France's underground catacombs as above so below should have been a surefire horror hit.

However, despite making a sizeable splash upon its release, most people don't talk about this ambitious found footage journey through the Seven layers of hell abandon all Hope E, who enter here with a much larger scope than many found footage, films and with um, or deep and thoughtful plot as above so below is able to be both genuinely thought provoking and utterly terrifying.

While many horror movies would do the bare minimum with such a great set up, likely just having characters right away from humanoid zombie esque monsters beneath the streets of Paris as above so below goes the extra mile, making it truly stand out.

Number eight, Session nine.

You guys scared of the duck?

What, Over here?

In the wake of all the found footage, horror films to come out following the release of The Blair Witch Project, Session nine tastefully incorporated aspects of the sub genre into an extremely tense psychological thriller.

Well, not technically have found footage.

Movie Session nine uses recordings of its characters in order to help tell its story, which follows in his bestest abatement crew working in an abandoned asylum.

Can you tell me what happened that night in low?

Nothing happened.

Marry.

Something did happen.

That's why we have these sessions to help you remember so you could get better.

Okay, No, I can't remember.

The film uses the recordings extremely well, as each revelation taken from the audio adds to the growing sense of dread that seems to permeate from every inch of the spooky asylum.

Add in some believable performances and some inspired directing, and you've got a flick that's begging to be revisited and where do you live?

Simon E.

Live in the week in the Wounded Number seven.

The People Under the Stairs Wes Craven is a legendary horror director who's filmography is filled with both classic horror staples and obscure hidden gems in equal measure.

One of Craven's seemingly forgot movies is The People Under the Stairs.

It is fine to clean house total spring cleaning.

Craven showcases his fascination with traps, his interest in American social dynamics and his outlandish breed of horror in this bizarre genre.

Mash up.

We gotta be careful, really careful.

The people under the stairs follows a young boy as his involvement in a break in leads to the discovery that his family's landlords are completely insane and have a basement filled with mistreated and hungry Children.

It's off beat, it's ghoulish, and it's totally absurd.

But the people under the stairs is definitely worth revisiting.

Fool, you okay?

I feel like a million dollars.

Number six scanners.

Canadian horror icon David Cronenberg often aims to shock with this specific brand of body horror.

In this respect, Scanners was very successful, horrifying audiences with this macabre sci fi story about telepathic super people able to kill with merely a thought.

Yeah, a t least one moment from scanners is well remembered as the practical effect head explosion scene is infamous amongst horror fans But despite this and a small but loud cult following, Scanners is criminally absent from many horror discussions.

Similar to Cronenberg's video.

Drome Scanners explores human beings, often horrific relationship to our own bodies and the bodies of others.

It also features some fantastic performances and visual effects and showcases a legendary director in top form.

My Number five Frailty.

Listen, this may sound a little bit crazy, but I know who the goddamn killer is.

Bill Paxton's directorial debut, Frailty, is one of many horror movies to come out in the early two thousands that seems to have been mostly for gotten.

You didn't think anyone knew about that, did you?

Despite receiving positive reviews upon its release and starring Matthew McConaughey, many people are unaware of this thoughtful psychological thriller about a religious fanatic killer and his two sons.

May God welcome you on keep you smaller budget of frailty and the energetic direction of Paxton gives the film and indie movie feel that works well with its charmingly amateurish vibe.

All In all, Frailty is a harrowing chiller with some weighty themes and a pretty shocking twist that holds up incredibly well upon rewatch.

Don't make any sense.

Yes, Dad, Number 4 14 08 We all have memories of seeing 14 08 at movie rental stores and in DVD sales piles.

But few people seem to ever actually talk about this underrated psychological thriller, even if your room John Cusack plays a paranormal skeptic who spends the night in a haunted hotel room on Lee to find out that the stories surrounding the room might not be a hoax.

After all.

Along 14 08 is filled with both ghost shenanigans and mind bending existentially horror with the touch of personal tragedy thrown in u que sacks.

Performance is incredible and the way that the film gradually shifts its focus from paranormal fear, too.

Fear, based in the nature of reality itself, makes it stand out from those other for gotten DVD rentals.

Okay, that's more than very effective.

Number three Pulse.

As Japanese horror movies rose to prominence in the early two thousands, American audiences were entranced.

One J horror chiller that often gets overlooked and forgotten, however, is Pulse Pulse, or Cairo, as it's known in Japanese, takes many of the tropes and themes that J Horror was known for and dials up everything to 100 impulse.

It's revealed that the afterlife has reached its capacity, and so ghosts are starting to spill out into our world.

Entering through the Internet.

The story is difficult to follow on, observed literally operating with dream logic and focusing more on themes and moments than an overarching plot.

But watching Pulse is a lonely, haunting and beautiful experience that demands your attention.

What that's you all Number two near Dark.

It's unfortunate that The Lost Boys came out the same year as Near Dark because while both are classics in their own right, the success of Lost Boys sealed near darks Fate as the other punk rock vampire movie E.

I'm gonna separate your head from your shoulders.

Hope you don't mind.

It's a real shame, because Near Dark is an incredible bloodsucking horror action romp that people would undoubtedly love if they gave it another chance.

With the neo Western vibe and an edgy late eighties rock aesthetic, Near Dark has a great, unique energy and impressively realized world that pulls you in instantly.

Balancing a handful of tones and styles near dark is one for gotten classic that you just got to sink your teeth into.

Oh, before we unveil our topic.

Let's jog your memory a little bit.

With a few honorable mentions.

Bug, this claustrophobic horror drama is relatively unknown.

Are they bad Booth Blob?

The remake couldn't step out from the original shadow.

Theo loved ones equal parts absurd and macabre.

Remove the King's crown, Please, Daddy.

The Midnight Meat Train, a menacing thriller storing a pre fame Bradley Cooper.

The faculty missing this cult classic should be a crime punishable by detention.

Number one in the Mouth of Madness.

Do you want some, too?

Buddy?

When discussing a filmography as impressive as director John Carpenter's, it's unsurprising that some of his movies will be left out of the conversation.

Similar to Prince of Darkness in The Mouth of Madness came out a few years after carpenters initial eighties boom period, and it's egregiously overlooked.

One of Carpenter's most bizarre and entrancing efforts.

The film follows an insurance investigator as he tries to locate a missing author whose work seems to be causing madness in his readers and maybe rewriting the fabric of reality itself.

Your World lies beyond that passage, inspired by the works of H.

P.

Lovecraft and Stephen King.

In The Mouth of Madness is a contorted, surreal work of horror cinema that doesn't come close to getting the praise it deserves.
