Not all horror movies are going to be of the highest caliber. Directors like Jordan Peele, Mike Flanigan, and Zach Cregger may be elevating the genre, and A24 has steadily been coming out with top-tier horror films, but sometimes, fans just want to sit back, relax, and watch a bloody good movie that doesn't try to do more than entertain.

There are many horror movies that are rated surprisingly low on review sites like Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes. For the sake of this list, attention deserves to go to the most criminally underrated horror movies and hidden gems. These horror films may not have impressed audiences and critics, but they're still worth adding to any watch list.

Sorority Row May Have Bad Reviews, but It's a Fun Slasher Release Year: 2009

Theta Pi has their world turned upside down when they accidentally kill one of their pledges with a tire iron.

Jon M. Chu understood the pressure that he’d be facing when he took on directing Universal’s Wicked, an adaptation of one of the most successful stage musicals of all time. A Wicked fan himself — he’s seen the show 12 times, seven before being hired to helm the film — he knew the stakes were high for casting Elphaba and Galinda and bringing the vibrant world of Oz to the big screen. “If there’s anything I’ve learned through the business, it’s how to deal with pressure. For Wicked specifically, that is a whole other thing,” Chu says, adding that the show’s roof-raising anthem was a particular challenge. “ ‘Defying Gravity’ is one of the most complicated things I’ve ever shot in my entire life. I felt more pressure with ‘Defying Gravity’ than the whole movie itself.”

Wicked reunites Chu with Michelle Yeoh, who starred in his...

Totally Killer is a slasher horror comedy film directed by Nahnatchka Khan from a screenplay co-written by David Matalon, Sasha Perl-Raver, and Jen D’Angelo.

Hurricanes are frightening all on on their own without having to involve a predatory animal. Yet Carlos Brooks’ Burning Bright not only features a Category 3 hurricane, a ferocious tiger is thrown in for added effect. Back when this film was first announced, its plot was met with laughter and doubt; the idea was as intriguing as it was ridiculous. Over time though, this suspenseful story of a girl, a boy, and a tiger has become a shining example of how to follow through on a high concept.

Two distinct yet equally uncontrollable forces are on display at the beginning of Burning Bright. As Hurricane Isabel builds a sense of foreboding in the background, a young woman finally confronts her family situation. The collegebound Kelly is making the difficult decision of leaving behind her autistic brother Tom when life catches her off guard again. Kelly’s plans are dashed after her...

Modern slasher movie remakes often improve on original premises with updated technology and character development for a new audience. Films like "Sorority Row" and "Maniac" benefited from new technology, setting, and tone to create eerie and tense atmospheres. The 2020 remake of "The Invisible Man" expertly delves into themes of domestic violence, adding depth and critical acclaim to the original story.

Slasher movies are a staple in the horror genre, but over the years, remakes of these films have become arguably even better than their originals. Within the horror movie genre, some of the best horror movies are slashers that stand out for their use of extreme gore and memorable antagonists. With horror truly finding its feet in the early twentieth century, it's no surprise that in recent years, so many slasher movies have been given the remake treatment.

Over the years, cinema has seen more and more slasher movies receive critical acclaim,...

The co-writer of Sorority Row, Josh Stolberg, is writing a sequel and including the characters of Cassidy and Ellie in the script. Stolberg shared a picture of the cast at a restaurant before shooting began and tagged the actors in the post. Despite the original film's poor reception, it has gained a cult following, and fans are excited about another visit to Sorority Row.

It looks like some of the girls of Theta Pi could be returning for a sequel to 2009's Sorority Row, according to the film's co-writer, Josh Stolberg.

Stolberg took to his personal X/Twitter page to announce that he's writing a sequel to the film and that he's including the characters of Cassidy (Briana Evigan) and Ellie (Rumer Willis) into the script, although he does admit that it's up to the actresses to actually return for the project.

Confirmed from the man himself! Josh Stolberg is...

A new sequel to 2009's Sorority Row appears to be in the works.

Written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger, Sorority Row was a remake of the 1982 slasher film The House on Sorority Row. With recent posts on the social media platform X, Stolberg has been suggesting that he's working on a Sorority Row sequel. With one post, Stolberg announced how he was "doing some research" and was looking to speak with people who'd been in a sorority "in the past 10 years or so." He included poster art for Sorority Row while using the hashtag, #SororityRow2. Another post reveals Stolberg with Sorority Row stars Rumer Willis and Briana Evigan, and he again teased Sorority Row 2 in the caption.

As a five-film franchise, Step Up has proved to be extremely successful. The first movie to the sequence, Step Up, was released in 2006. The film stars Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan as the lead characters who represent dance in an impactful way. When Tyler, played by Tatum, was caught up in street violence, he was summoned to community service at a local performing arts school where Nora, played by Dewan, was attending.

With dance experience himself, Tyler was quick to take to Nora who was practicing her final dance in hopes of receiving high acclaim from recruiters at the school’s senior showcase recital. So when Nora needed a new dance partner, the two made a plan to work together.

Not only do Tyler and Nora have exceptional chemistry, making their dancing mesmerizing, their skills paid off when Nora was given an opportunity with a professional dance studio and Tyler...

Tom Malloy directs and stars as Jack, a divorced ballroom dance fan, who keeps missing Jill, also a dance fan, by minutes in this good-natured film

Written and directed by its star Tom Malloy, this low-budget comedy is likably offbeat, full of tiny kinks in every sense, with mildly surprising plot twists and supporting characters who are into threesomes, S&m, and so on. But it’s also fully conventional in that like the vast majority of romcoms it sets out to assemble a heterosexual couple and eventually succeeds. The core romance is sutured when Malloy’s Jack and Briana Evigan’s Jill, two ordinary normcore singletons who both love proper ballroom dancing and swing, finally get to dance together at the climax. Honestly, it’s so brazenly obvious in following every rule of genre that it’s barely a spoiler to reveal it: the fun is in how they get there.

Los Angeles, Nov. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Classic sitcom fans will be delighted to find Three’s Company star Joyce DeWitt in two new films streaming this holiday season. The 73-year-old mid-westerner who played Janet Wood for eight seasons on the ABC hit series affects a Southern accent in both a delightful holiday musical called “A Scattered, Smothered & Covered Christmas” and a feel-good romcom called “Ask Me to Dance.”

Kay Gobbell and Joyce DeWitt in “A Scattered, Smothered & Covered Christmas” one of two currently-streaming holiday films starring DeWitt.

In the musical DeWitt plays a waitress named Rita who finds herself assigning good deeds to guardian angels as they mix with the lively third shift at a Nashville Waffle House. She is dealt a Christmas Eve surprise when another lady-in-limbo assigns her the task of finding her lonely widower a new wife. The musical features a book by Kaine Riggan and a score by dozens...

Ask Me To Dance follows the story of Jack, an It programmer, and Jill, a graphic designer who are both unlucky in love. One night, it all changes when a fortune teller separately gives them both hope, but a series of events leaves the audience to guess if they will get their happily ever after.

Briana Evigan, who plays Jill, recently sat down with uInterview founder Erik Meers to discuss relating to the film.

“When I read the script, I loved it and immediately said yes to my agents,” Evigan said. “I was like, ‘Wow, this is right up my alley right now. This is my life right now.’ I had finally gotten the dating apps during the pandemic. I finally caved! It only lasted about maybe four months. None of the dates from the apps went well. Most of them lied to me about certain things including their age...

Mark Rosman‘s The House on Sorority Row (1982) and Stewart Hendler‘s Sorority Row (2009) feel shoved aside in their respective horror classes. Titles like Pieces, Black Christmas, and The Dorm That Dripped Blood get more frequent mentions when discussing pre-90s sorority or dormitory slashers. Remake debates rarely include Sorority Row in their reassessments of unfairly stigmatized 2000s horror revamps based on nostalgia biases (among other reasons). It’s interesting how both seem equally less popular despite their amassed cult followings after meager box office openings.

It’s almost like Hendler attempted to shake the original’s mojo by deeming Sorority Row an adaptation of Rosman’s screenplay Seven Sisters — the earlier iteration of what would become The House on Sorority Row. Don’t mind the trickiness because Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger write their re-imagining indebted to The House on Sorority Row. Maybe late-2000s remake fatigue led to...

The first movie in the series was released in 2006 to a massive box office success, with a total of five films in the franchise. The series features impressive choreography and breathtaking performances. Whether you’re a diehard fan of the franchise or a newcomer looking to get caught up,...

Exclusive: Tyler Blackburn, who plays the lead role of Alex Manes in Roswell, New Mexico, has signed with APA for representation.

Blackburn just wrapped filming Roswell, New Mexico, which is currently airing its fourth and final season on the CW. Blackburn, who garnered a massive following on social media, is maybe best known for his role as the dark and mysterious Caleb Rivers in Pretty Little Liars, a performance which earned him two consecutive Teen Choice Awards. His success on the show led to his own spinoff series, Ravenswood.

On the film side, Blackburn can be seen in Discovery’s first scripted film, Capsized opposite Josh Duhamel. He can also be seen in Hello Again, directed by Tom Gustafson with an ensemble cast including Martha Plimpton, Audra McDonald, Cheyenne Jackson, and T.R. Knight.

There are two types of people in this world: People who love the “Step Up” movies, and people who haven’t seen them all. The franchise began as a straightforward teen romance in 2006 but quickly evolved into a series of lavish pop spectacles, propelled by cheesy melodrama and bolstered by elaborate dance choreography, performed by some of the greatest dancers in the world. As the films get crazier, so too does our love of the quirky cast and their over-the-top shenanigans; think “Fast & Furious,” if the franchise found its outlandish tone in the second film instead of the fifth. The sixth feature film in the series, “Step Up: Year of the Dance,” has just arrived on home video, so let’s take a look back at this whole, wonderful franchise:

"I am so not this girl, I never do this." Don't be turned off by the headline, this is a very impressive dramatic short film. Angel of Anywhere is an award-winning short directed by James Kicklighter that has been playing at festivals this year.

It's always great to see a story that challenges us to rethink our initial judgments, and listen more to each other. Definitely worth a watch.

Director Darren Lynn Bousman on the importance of offering a unique night out to attendees:

Darren Lynn Bousman: In the day and age that we live, we need to incentivize people to leave their house and actually journey out into a movie theater. Someone like me, who has a kid now, has to pay for a babysitter, pay for parking, carve out that time to actually go sit in the theater for a movie...

One of the best things about the horror genre is its ability to divide audiences and create strong, passionate reactions. We may split on a comedy, sure, because we find different things funny, but chances are we won’t carry that experience with us much past when the end credits roll. Horror is different. Love it or hate it, it sticks with us, and when we see a movie that really speaks to us we connect with it in such way so as to believe the filmmaker has made something that’s just for us.

Few filmmakers embody this ideal more than Darren Lynn Bousman: while his recent output of films might not be for everyone, for the people they are for they are really for. After finding success within the studio system thanks to his trilogy of Saw films and his criminally underrated remake of Mother’s Day,...
