What are some of those good horror films that don't get the attention they deserve? Post those movies here.
Here are just a few off the top of my head.
The Wicker Man (1973)- I think the original "The Wicker Man" is underappreciated for as good of a film as it was. Although slightly off-beat, I found the story to be very compelling.
Deep Red (1975)- My favorite film by Dario Argento. It's got all of his trademark elements... including a kickass score by Goblin.
Slither (2006)- Very interesting and funny, I thought. One of the better horror/comedies I've seen. Pays homage to the old 80's flicks.
I'm interested to hear your opinions.

The original Wicker Man?
Really?
I couldn't help but laugh through half that movie . . . especially when the children are dancing and nging.
Maybe I should watch it through again.
Haven't seen Deep Red, I'll try and check it out.
Now I 100% agree about "Slither".
I LOVED this movie!

The Wicker Man is indeed a strange one... maybe it's an acquired taste. I don't know. I liked the atmosphere and thought that the idea of an entire community of people being against someone, knowing something he didn't was awesome. I've always been one for conspiracy type films anyways... (Invaon Of The Body Snatchers... that kind of thing).

I'll agree with 2 out of 3...Deep Red is a great movie and I also throughly enjoyed the original Wicker Man. I guess I just didn't get Slither.
Another great horror flick most people have never heard of is Rituals.

Wickerman is so wicked and surreal and funny at the same time
I think it's a clasc
Deep Red is one Argento's best imo
Great suspense,shocking scenes, and mystery! It's like a blue print for the modern day slasher film. H1/H2 owes alot to this film
And yes, the awesome score by Goblin

The Burning ....Tom Savini doing his best!The killer was scary!Nice campy suspense
Phenomena....The killer,who shows his face at the end, looked so cheesy it blew me away Nice fantasy flick with mysteryDonald Pleasence plays supporting roleThe Iron Maiden score and the whole movie score
TCM2 ...Tobe Hooper is directing it Extremely funny Had the best characters in the franchise
ROTLD 3....The movie is pathetic but Mindy Clarke plays the ultimate zombie chick

I'll go with the Night of the Living Dead remake that Savini did back in the early 90's. A lot of people were upset to see that be remade but I thought it was a great flick. I watched that thing over and over again back in the day....

Some of Argento's movies can tend to be underappreciated but his status in horror lore is set in stone. So Im going to go more for some of the little guys and mid range guys:
DEATH DREAM dir by Bob Clark....EERIE ck movie thats a commentary on Vietnam. I think its Savini's first horror film.
BLUE SUNSHINE..Jeff Lieberman.....CREEPY as all get out! the scene where the dude busts into the house near the beginning is scary!
CHILDREN SHOULDNT PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS....another Bob CLark gem! an early entry into the zombie genre
THE LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE ...by Jorge Grau. English zombie flick from 1974.
Some others that deserve more respect imo are DONT ANSWER THE PHONE; ALIEN PREY; MACABRE; and the uber awesome The HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW.
