I do agree with you on It Follows, that's why I call It's Slow. The Omen, like alot films feels outdated, but way better than the remake. The child is being protected by outside help so Damien is not doing all the killings.
Midsommar is beautifully made horror, an exquisite film .... Get Out feels kinda too pc .... like its made to tick all the right boxes of race politics, frankly not a rewatchable movie because the horror atmosphere is not really immersive ... A great horror movie is one where I enjoy rewatching just to immerse myself in the atmosphere, after all, the shock and surprise value wears off quickly if you are going to watch them again ....
Yup ... Get Out is more like a political satire, not so much a horror genre movie ... Horror, to most people, are at its best when its able to induce that immersive dark foreboding atmosphere of dread .... The vibe and atmosphere is really important aspect of a great horror movie ... Get Out is rather lacking in that sense I think ...
Sort of disagree with Prince of Darkness. In so much as the film has to be rated fairly highly to be considered overrated. If you know what I mean and I don’t believe it ever was. I really liked both Carpenters films you placed here. There not his best though, but I do love them.
nice vid thanks for sharing, the omes is one of my all time favourites, i think it has the greatest horror movie soundtrack of all time to be honest, i think the reason damien isnt in it that much is because he doesnt actually know who or what he is, and hes basically a baby, its the evil force protecting him that brings the scares, and billie whitelaws nanny who is so menacing, however this is a movie i saw a a child and really enjoyed so i have that nostalgia factor, a young person watching it today may thing nothing of it and would probably prefer the nun, the other one for me is prince of darkness, i love this movie, i found it very immersive when i watched it, i avoided it for a long time because nobody seemed to like it and the critics panned it at the time, but when i eventually got around to it i loved it, perhaps my expectations were low and i was pleasantly surprised
💯 Agree on Prey! That Ending fight scene had me and my friends laughing. Cause she turned into a super Hero and The predator forgot how his own weapons worked.
I have to disagree with you on your inclusion of "The Bride of Frankenstein", the best Universal film of the first horror wave, and one of the best "movies" of all time and one of the best sequels as well. And the horror genre in general would be lesser if it hadn't been made. And to top it off, it is rarely spoken of anymore! I do agree with "The Prince of Darkness" being very overrated, and I am a big John Carpenter fan and wanted so much to love it. Through it worked with Roddy Piper in "They Live", the inclusion of Alice Cooper destroyed the illusion.
I agree with 'Get Out.' It is a very good film, but I saw it once and thought, "Eh, okay, that's pretty cool." I got a little tired of feeling like audiences were trying to guilt me for not fawning over it the way they did, as if to rate it as good-not-great was somehow an act of racism.
It also doesn't make sense. The underlaying 'message' of the movie is that white people a jealous of black people and desperately want to be black, but also, simultaneously, it wants to beat us over the head with the tired "black people are oppressed in the US" trope. So then why would a rich white man want to become a black man in a country that actively oppresses and dehumanises black people? Isn't that like the Nazis converting to Judaism during the height of the Holocaust?
I kinda had a headcannon that most of the other Halloween movies still happened when I watched the reboot. It can be cumbersome, and definitely creates plot holes if you don't omit some of them, but it just makes more sense if Michael Myers came back multiple times, and him being Laurie's brother, and wanting her dead also makes more sense from a character standpoint that way. I wasn't a fan of them reconning all of them but the first one (especially the second since it's literally on the same night), so I just went into watching it pretending they didn't.
Gotta disagree with It Follows. Just the premise itself no matter where you go.. how many years.. it's a thing out there somewhere slowly creeping it's way towards you. What did disappoint me.. and maybe i need rewatch it but i was excited for months for Smile. And it had a few parts but it was not nearly as scary as i thought it would be.
Actually Prince of Darkness was hardly rated at all let alone over rated LOL. Now Halloween could be considered over rated because it's always on top 10 lists, but Prince of Darkness has not made any impact at all in comparison.It's still a favourite of mine from Carpenter (Although I love pretty much everything he did, even the TV stuff).
I actually do believe that Halloween is slightly overrated. I really like the film, but there are some clunky moments, and though it may be the best known slasher, it’s not the best. Black Christmas is a scarier film and its obvious inspiration, and Scream is a superior slasher. The fact that Myers doesn’t speak and walks 2 mph are problematic. For a truly scary killer, see Black Christmas’s Billy, whose psychotic rants are seriously disturbing. He also hauls ass. Myers, in real life, couldn’t catch a fly with his slow zombie pace.
I would swap out Get out for Malignant. Malignant was out right stupid but is highly praised by a lot people. Far more overrated that get out or the omen.
Very thoughtful overrated list. It takes something to include great movies that are nonetheless overrated. Part of the problem is that we are decades into the Age of Unhinged Hyperbole / Opting Out of Critical Thinking for Memeable Black or White Quick Takes. Most things are good, but not that good or bad, but not that bad.
Good channel. I agree with the list and reasoning for the most part, but I reckon your parameters are skewed to a younger point of view. There’s also a huge world of horror now, and a lot of it is dreck. The bar was higher in think in the -past. I also am old. 😮
I don't think films looking dated is always a bad thing ... It feels incredibly silly to put down a movie based on how "70s" or "80s" it looks ... isn't it of great cultural value when you can have a sense of the culture of the time period that the movie came from ?? What are you expecting ... a good movie should always look like it belongs to a future generation ?? People collect antiquities as it tells the story of the historical cultural values of an older time period ..... there are preciousness in both being ahead of its time and being a product of its time .... The Omen looks very 1970's, and thats why it feels so precious ... not everything has to be "ahead of its time" .... especially the horror genre, there is something preciously atmospheric about seeing the older time period being captured in all its authenticity .... maybe the new generations are a little too narrow minded to appreciate things due to immaturity ....
Josh Minyard • I've never seen in the mouth of Madness or bird box, so I can't judge those. But I absolutely positively agree with you on Paranormal Activity. It's a c-minus movie at best, there were a few things that scared me but overall it was just dull and it didn't make any damn sense. I absolutely hate Halloween 2018, Danny McBride and the other guy should dunk their heads in quicksand for writing such BS drivel! The rest of your choices though, we couldn't be further apart on. Whitetail was the s*** though! I wish you could feature-length film that one.
Yes, exactly, decent acting and a cool premise, drowned out by its slow to warm up plot, I always use the party scene in Cloverfield or the buried alive scene in Kill Bill Volume 2 as allusions to "Let's go too much pointless character development, you have made your point, lets get on with our lives and cut to the fucking chase!" Way to sluggish, disturbing, but not that scary, even laughable at times, basically, like those garbage Happy Death Day movies or the unbelievably overrated Evil Dead 2013, I just don't like them. They have their moments and aren't dreadful, but not worthy of the praise they garnish. I guess our milage may vary. Smile 2022 was amazing.
Talk To Me is gore fest .... conceptually its not really original ... its just another ouija board movie except they switch it up with a hand sculpture ...
I disagree with The Omen being overrated, it was a milestone and a necessary evil (no pun intended) within the evolution of horror cinema. Anyway, here's my list (in no particular order): 1) Halloween (1978): yes, it annoys me to no end ... it is a good movie, yes, but NO, it is NOT a "masterpiece", it is NOT "the greatest horror movie ever made, and it is NOT scary or "suspenseful" ... it is BORING, there is NO suspense, it made me fall asleep half the time ... compared to the next 2 sequels (part 2 and season of the witch, which gave me fun nightmares on occasion) it is tame as hell ... 2) Halloween 2018 (H40 pretty much): TRASH REBOOT AND OVERHYPED AS F ... I don't understand why people even like it so much, probably because and ONLY BECAUSE they keep d***riding John Carpenter (the most overrated horror movie director of all time by the way, sorry not sorry) 3) Halloween H20: again, 2 decades past the OG so we need another similar watered down rip-off of the already overrated original 4) Halloween 4 - The Return of Michael Myers (H10 pretty much): people don't value variety, creativity and originality, so we simply bring Myers back to please the audience because (Canadian South Park voice) WE WANT MOAH MONEY ... and so, Myers was back WAY PAST HIS PRIME and while Donald Pleasance always was a gem and while Danielle Harris was definitely a high level addition, Myers himself became but a fraction of a shadow of the Boogieman he used to be, played by the LEGENDARY Dick Warlock ... It almost seems like every new decade, they need to remind us somehow that in 1978 the first Halloween came out and thus, we need another overrated watered down celebration rip-off to remind us of that ... f***ing cringe ... 5) Jaws ... great movie, but again the whole "suspense" bullcrap, pacing is okay but it still lasts 3 hours ... if Im watching a shark movie, I want to see MORE SHARK, if I wanted NOT to see a shark in a shark movie but just boats instead for 3 hours straight, that's what Titanic is for ... 6) The Exorcist: unlike The Omen, The Exorcist was nowhere near as terribly shocking or terrifying as people made it out to be ... I heard people puked in movie theaters and went insane/hysterical from this ... REALLY? 7) Bride of Chucky: they actually managed to essentially NULLIFY all the scare and creep factors from the first 3 movies and yes, I get it, just like Freddy before him, Chucky became a horror movie ICON and thus became more verbally original and comical over time, which can already be seen somewhat in part 2 and 3, but as soon as Bride of Chucky was a thing and Tiffany joined him, all the suspense was GONE ... yes, Tiffany is a scary ass c*** when she's mad (the Seed of Chucky Redman scene was too much for me to watch) but beyond that, they're both essentially goofballs at this point and nowhere near as terrifying as Chucky on his own was in the original movie or even part 2 or 3 ... 8) An American Werewolf in London ... people claim it's so much better than the one in Paris ... DUDE, it's THE SAME DAMN MOVIE and while I'm not exactly a fan or expert on werewolf movies, I am not that impressed 9) A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - The Dream Warriors: I saw it, I liked it and yes, it was definitely among the better sequels ... but half the damn Freddy fanbase puts it above the original ... sorry not sorry IT'S NOT THAT GOOD ... and while it may be the better movie with the better plot, I feel both part 2 and part 4 are more entertaining to watch and rewatch ... the only Freddy movie I'd put above the original is of course Wes Craven's New Nightmare and even then ONLY BARELY ... 10) Friday the 13th part VI - Jason Lives: I do NOT understand for the life of me how or why people value this sequel that much ... okay, I understand that Jason came back to live for the very first time as a revenant/zombie and its' Kane Hodder's first appearance as Jason, but don't push it ... the teenage fodder is BLAND AS HELL (YES, EVEN BY FT13TH STANDARDS), I couldn't stand the Sheriff or even his daughter, Tommy Jarvis literally CAUSED all this and surprise surprise Jason dies bt drowning again ... how very fn original (yes, in part 7 same thing but that was by telekinesis so it's different and I'll give it a pass because the movie, the plot and Jason's look was simply so much better than this one) ... no, I don't get it, this one is as overrated a Friday the 13th sequel as Freddy and Jason are as horror icons themselves ...
I haven't seen #8 or #2 but... I'm just going to assume you know what you're talking about. I. Have. Never. Seen. A. RUclips. Horror. List. Video. That. I. AGREE. With. Like. This. One... What the heck? How did you do it? How did you pick my brain? 10 = complete agreement. 9 = I'm going to say, however, I'm not comfortable with you bashing Pre-1970's as a rule. That's a huge problem for me. A gigantic one. BUT... I completely agree _Bride of Frankenstein_ is a big letdown. Though I personally HATE _The Invisible Man,_ so that's the weakest Universal Monster film in my eyes. Got to also say. The best original black-&-white Universal Classic Horror films are not the Monster films at all. They are 1932's _The Old Dark House_ and 1934's _The Black Cat._ 7 = COMPLETE AGREEMENT. 6 = COMPLETE AGREEMENT. 5 = I agree Very Strongly. 4 = COMPLETE AGREEMENT. 3 = Cannot agree, mostly because _Halloween Kills_ was one of the worst Horror Franchise films I've ever seen, and _Halloween Ends_ was an inferior film to the 2018 _Halloween._ BUT I do agree it's not as good as many people say. 1 = COMPLETE AGREEMENT.
My god, these movies are so cringy. I don't see how anyone can look at them without realizing the political messages their respective production studios were hammering over our heads. Can't stand movies like these. I believe M3GAN is the true definition of what an overrated movie is. So much hype was surrounding this film and I was totally not shocked that it displayed every cliche and trope of MODERN filmmaking. If convenience was a plot device, then this film had it in spades.
Im not a fan of the Universal Monsters either, .I HATED PARANORMAL ACTIVITY....it was sooooo boring. I just watched the 2 other movies and, yeah...they are weird...but i love the guy from Jurassic Park. I loved Prey!
Yup ... the first Paranormal Activity really was not much different from all the cheap and fake youtube haunting videos ... seriously, anyone could make that kind of movie with just fishing lines pulling on the door and blankets ... it really has nothing to offer except off-screen sounds and actors pretending to sleep walk ..... there are so many better fake haunting youtube videos frankly ....
Disagree with a lot of the choices some are real classics! Overated horror movies in my opinion are...Paranormal activity, The blair witch project, the sixth sense and the others...
Blair Witch Project is great ... Paranormal Activity is just a bad home video, I can see so many better fake haunting videos made by bored kids on the internet.
The original, it was completely different. And it was something that COULD happen in a much more religious world. And same with The Blair Witch project. Now? Meh. But it was the FIRST that did the camera shot by first person. Every SINGLE movie that has “home video, ccv etc., started with that.
Yes, I concur, but it's still good. However, The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity, while clever in their guises, didn't deliver for me and don't even get me started on the Happy Death Day franchise, whose director, actually did a Paranormal Activity sequel, hmmmm....from boring sleepy time tea to PG-13, watered down, poorly acted, easy to get sanctuary theme, it all makes sense.
Exorcist is not overrated at all. Its top notch movie making even if you are not very scared by it. Its the ONLY movie in movie history that caused mass hysteria on the scale that it did. Ambulances stationed outside theatres, countless reports of people walking out, fainting, even getting possessed after watching it .... Sure, its not so scary anymore but thats more due to countless parodies made of it, overexposure in the media also makes reduces its shock value over time ... ALL horror movies because less scary over time even with your current "scariest" as long as you are willing to watch it multiple times ... its like phobia, if you face your phobia straight on (height phobia, spide etc), you will overcome it in time ...
Feels like the exorcist should’ve been number 1 lol it’s heavily overrated, no way in hell is it scary nor the scariest of all time🤨plus it feels dated like omen
Name me another movie beside The Exorcist that caused national hysteria requiring ambulances to be stationed outside movie theatres, countless reports of audiences walking out during show, fainting, sleepless nights, reports of people seemingly getting possessed after watching it etc etc .... Nope, you can't. Your personal favourite scariest movie would not hold a candle to that.
I do agree with you on It Follows, that's why I call It's Slow. The Omen, like alot films feels outdated, but way better than the remake. The child is being protected by outside help so Damien is not doing all the killings.
Get Out is the #1 horror movie of all time? Gee, I wonder why...
The same reason Black Panther won an Oscar.
mediocre tears always crying
Get Out, Original Halloween, Midsommar, Friday the 13th, etc. In the mouth of madness isn’t overrated, if anything it’s underrated.
He didn't say the 1978 _Halloween_ is overrated.
Midsommar is beautifully made horror, an exquisite film ....
Get Out feels kinda too pc .... like its made to tick all the right boxes of race politics, frankly not a rewatchable movie because the horror atmosphere is not really immersive ... A great horror movie is one where I enjoy rewatching just to immerse myself in the atmosphere, after all, the shock and surprise value wears off quickly if you are going to watch them again ....
@@88feji So, you're a racist? Got it.
@@88feji Midsommar is not beautiful. But even if it was, there are so many truly beautiful films these days, beauty isn't a factor anymore.
@@88fejidid just you say Midsommar wasnt PC. Girl gets revenge on man when the girl is a nightmare and the problem. It's feminist schlock.
Get Out is hugely overrated. Jordan Peele's movies are science fiction, not horror.
Ok,beatifull girl
Couldn’t agree more
Yup ... Get Out is more like a political satire, not so much a horror genre movie ...
Horror, to most people, are at its best when its able to induce that immersive dark foreboding atmosphere of dread .... The vibe and atmosphere is really important aspect of a great horror movie ... Get Out is rather lacking in that sense I think ...
And Nope is a far superior Peele flick too
Get Out is racial propaganda
Sort of disagree with Prince of Darkness. In so much as the film has to be rated fairly highly to be considered overrated. If you know what I mean and I don’t believe it ever was. I really liked both Carpenters films you placed here. There not his best though, but I do love them.
Prince of darkness and in the mouth of madness are lowkey underrated
nice vid thanks for sharing, the omes is one of my all time favourites, i think it has the greatest horror movie soundtrack of all time to be honest, i think the reason damien isnt in it that much is because he doesnt actually know who or what he is, and hes basically a baby, its the evil force protecting him that brings the scares, and billie whitelaws nanny who is so menacing, however this is a movie i saw a a child and really enjoyed so i have that nostalgia factor, a young person watching it today may thing nothing of it and would probably prefer the nun, the other one for me is prince of darkness, i love this movie, i found it very immersive when i watched it, i avoided it for a long time because nobody seemed to like it and the critics panned it at the time, but when i eventually got around to it i loved it, perhaps my expectations were low and i was pleasantly surprised
💯 Agree on Prey! That Ending fight scene had me and my friends laughing. Cause she turned into a super Hero and The predator forgot how his own weapons worked.
I have to disagree with you on your inclusion of "The Bride of Frankenstein", the best Universal film of the first horror wave, and one of the best "movies" of all time and one of the best sequels as well. And the horror genre in general would be lesser if it hadn't been made. And to top it off, it is rarely spoken of anymore! I do agree with "The Prince of Darkness" being very overrated, and I am a big John Carpenter fan and wanted so much to love it. Through it worked with Roddy Piper in "They Live", the inclusion of Alice Cooper destroyed the illusion.

Scream is a film I never find remotely scary or tense,it's enjoyable but never truly scary maybe the opening.
I like the philosophical discussion in The Mouth of Madness.
I'm gonna get you about The Omen (1976)...LOL, interesting list overall :)
Oh yes, It Follows was bad. Babadook was also very very bad.
Gotta disagree with It Follows. Just the premise itself no matter where you go.. how many years.. it's a thing out there somewhere slowly creeping it's way towards you. What did disappoint me.. and maybe i need rewatch it but i was excited for months for Smile. And it had a few parts but it was not nearly as scary as i thought it would be.
Prince of darkness is an underrated horror movie. You are so wrong
I agree with you on pretty much all of these. However, I don’t think some of them are anywhere near as well received as you seem to believe they are.
another great video. agree with some, not others but still interesting list. I so agree with Birdbox and that HORRIBLE M Night Happening.
The Omen? No, it's a masterpiece and always has been. For the producers to have gotten that cast was huge. It's definitely not overrated.
I agree with a lot of your list but I would add Hallowe'en (yes the Carpenter one) to it.
Actually Prince of Darkness was hardly rated at all let alone over rated LOL. Now Halloween could be considered over rated because it's always on top 10 lists, but Prince of Darkness has not made any impact at all in comparison.It's still a favourite of mine from Carpenter (Although I love pretty much everything he did, even the TV stuff).
Love love love the atmosphere of Prince Of Darkness ... classic John Carpentar style ....
I actually do believe that Halloween is slightly overrated. I really like the film, but there are some clunky moments, and though it may be the best known slasher, it’s not the best. Black Christmas is a scarier film and its obvious inspiration, and Scream is a superior slasher. The fact that Myers doesn’t speak and walks 2 mph are problematic.

If you watch ‘the skeleton key 2005’ you have just watched ‘get out’... guarantee you will say .. that’s basically the same story...
The Skeleton Key is a masterpiece, imo.
Thanks for this video...I thought I was the only one who didn't think much of "Prey"...seeing as how everybody else thinks is a masterpiece...
it follows omg i have never been so underwhelmed…i found my people
Prey isn’t only overrated, it’s shit
Still don't get what It Follows is supposed to be about.
Yes!!!!
This guy Josh Minyard reminds me of in his prime Chris Stuckman. Hopefully he doesn't get delusional and bland like Chris Stuckman has become.
100% agree Get Out was a decent movie. Period. Definitely not a genre defining masterpiece as it's treated.
I would swap out Get out for Malignant. Malignant was out right stupid but is highly praised by a lot people. Far more overrated that get out or the omen.
Malignant was just a ripoff of Basket Case 1982, which I loved.
Very thoughtful overrated list. It takes something to include great movies that are nonetheless overrated. Part of the problem is that we are decades into the Age of Unhinged Hyperbole / Opting Out of Critical Thinking for Memeable Black or White Quick Takes. Most things are good, but not that good or bad, but not that bad.
People keep saying Halloween 2018 was a masterpiece no it wasn't it was ok but they should have stopped with either Halloween 2 or H20
Good channel. I agree with the list and reasoning for the most part, but I reckon your parameters are skewed to a younger point of view. There’s also a huge world of horror now, and a lot of it is dreck. The bar was higher in think in the -past. I also am old. 😮
I don't think films looking dated is always a bad thing ...
It feels incredibly silly to put down a movie based on how "70s" or "80s" it looks ... isn't it of great cultural value when you can have a sense of the culture of the time period that the movie came from ??
What are you expecting ... a good movie should always look like it belongs to a future generation ??

My "underrated" horror movie list video has films from the 50s, 70s, and 80s
Get Out is a really good film.

Whitetail was the s*** though! I wish you could feature-length film that one.
Thanks for the kind words!
I am tired of Halloween, freddy , chucky , pinhead etc...I want an original thought Hollywood. Hint hint.
Talk To Me is overrated. A couple good scenes.
Yes, exactly, decent acting and a cool premise, drowned out by its slow to warm up plot, I always use the party scene in Cloverfield or the buried alive scene in Kill Bill Volume 2 as allusions to "Let's go too much pointless character development, you have made your point, lets get on with our lives and cut to the fucking chase!" Way to sluggish, disturbing, but not that scary, even laughable at times, basically, like those garbage Happy Death Day movies or the unbelievably overrated Evil Dead 2013, I just don't like them. They have their moments and aren't dreadful, but not worthy of the praise they garnish. I guess our milage may vary. Smile 2022 was amazing.
Talk To Me is gore fest .... conceptually its not really original ... its just another ouija board movie except they switch it up with a hand sculpture ...
I disagree with The Omen being overrated, it was a milestone and a necessary evil (no pun intended) within the evolution of horror cinema. Anyway, here's my list (in no particular order):
1) Halloween (1978): yes, it annoys me to no end ... it is a good movie, yes, but NO, it is NOT a "masterpiece", it is NOT "the greatest horror movie ever made, and it is NOT scary or "suspenseful" ... it is BORING, there is NO suspense, it made me fall asleep half the time ... compared to the next 2 sequels (part 2 and season of the witch, which gave me fun nightmares on occasion) it is tame as hell ...
2) Halloween 2018 (H40 pretty much): TRASH REBOOT AND OVERHYPED AS F ... I don't understand why people even like it so much, probably because and ONLY BECAUSE they keep d***riding John Carpenter (the most overrated horror movie director of all time by the way, sorry not sorry)
3) Halloween H20: again, 2 decades past the OG so we need another similar watered down rip-off of the already overrated original
4) Halloween 4 - The Return of Michael Myers (H10 pretty much): people don't value variety, creativity and originality, so we simply bring Myers back to please the audience because (Canadian South Park voice) WE WANT MOAH MONEY ... and so, Myers was back WAY PAST HIS PRIME and while Donald Pleasance always was a gem and while Danielle Harris was definitely a high level addition, Myers himself became but a fraction of a shadow of the Boogieman he used to be, played by the LEGENDARY Dick Warlock ...
It almost seems like every new decade, they need to remind us somehow that in 1978 the first Halloween came out and thus, we need another overrated watered down celebration rip-off to remind us of that ... f***ing cringe ...
5) Jaws ... great movie, but again the whole "suspense" bullcrap, pacing is okay but it still lasts 3 hours ... if Im watching a shark movie, I want to see MORE SHARK, if I wanted NOT to see a shark in a shark movie but just boats instead for 3 hours straight, that's what Titanic is for ...
6) The Exorcist: unlike The Omen, The Exorcist was nowhere near as terribly shocking or terrifying as people made it out to be ... I heard people puked in movie theaters and went insane/hysterical from this ... REALLY?
7) Bride of Chucky: they actually managed to essentially NULLIFY all the scare and creep factors from the first 3 movies and yes, I get it, just like Freddy before him, Chucky became a horror movie ICON and thus became more verbally original and comical over time, which can already be seen somewhat in part 2 and 3, but as soon as Bride of Chucky was a thing and Tiffany joined him, all the suspense was GONE ... yes, Tiffany is a scary ass c*** when she's mad (the Seed of Chucky Redman scene was too much for me to watch) but beyond that, they're both essentially goofballs at this point and nowhere near as terrifying as Chucky on his own was in the original movie or even part 2 or 3 ...
8) An American Werewolf in London ... people claim it's so much better than the one in Paris ... DUDE, it's THE SAME DAMN MOVIE and while I'm not exactly a fan or expert on werewolf movies, I am not that impressed
9) A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - The Dream Warriors: I saw it, I liked it and yes, it was definitely among the better sequels ... but half the damn Freddy fanbase puts it above the original ... sorry not sorry IT'S NOT THAT GOOD ... and while it may be the better movie with the better plot, I feel both part 2 and part 4 are more entertaining to watch and rewatch ... the only Freddy movie I'd put above the original is of course Wes Craven's New Nightmare and even then ONLY BARELY ...
10) Friday the 13th part VI - Jason Lives: I do NOT understand for the life of me how or why people value this sequel that much ... okay, I understand that Jason came back to live for the very first time as a revenant/zombie and its' Kane Hodder's first appearance as Jason, but don't push it ... the teenage fodder is BLAND AS HELL (YES, EVEN BY FT13TH STANDARDS), I couldn't stand the Sheriff or even his daughter, Tommy Jarvis literally CAUSED all this and surprise surprise Jason dies bt drowning again ... how very fn original (yes, in part 7 same thing but that was by telekinesis so it's different and I'll give it a pass because the movie, the plot and Jason's look was simply so much better than this one) ... no, I don't get it, this one is as overrated a Friday the 13th sequel as Freddy and Jason are as horror icons themselves ...
It follows is all time #1 disappointment for me. Shit was hyped to no end.
I haven't seen #8 or #2 but... I'm just going to assume you know what you're talking about.
I. Have. Never. Seen. A. RUclips. Horror. List. Video. That. I. AGREE. With. Like. This. One... What the heck? How did you do it? How did you pick my brain?
10 = complete agreement.
9 = I'm going to say, however, I'm not comfortable with you bashing Pre-1970's as a rule. That's a huge problem for me. A gigantic one. BUT... I completely agree _Bride of Frankenstein_ is a big letdown. Though I personally HATE _The Invisible Man,_ so that's the weakest Universal Monster film in my eyes.
Got to also say. The best original black-&-white Universal Classic Horror films are not the Monster films at all. They are 1932's _The Old Dark House_ and 1934's _The Black Cat._
7 = COMPLETE AGREEMENT.
6 = COMPLETE AGREEMENT.
5 = I agree Very Strongly.
4 = COMPLETE AGREEMENT.
3 = Cannot agree, mostly because _Halloween Kills_ was one of the worst Horror Franchise films I've ever seen, and _Halloween Ends_ was an inferior film to the 2018 _Halloween._ BUT I do agree it's not as good as many people say.
1 = COMPLETE AGREEMENT.
My god, these movies are so cringy. I don't see how anyone can look at them without realizing the political messages their respective production studios were hammering over our heads. Can't stand movies like these.
I believe M3GAN is the true definition of what an overrated movie is. So much hype was surrounding this film and I was totally not shocked that it displayed every cliche and trope of MODERN filmmaking. If convenience was a plot device, then this film had it in spades.
Im not a fan of the Universal Monsters either,
.I HATED PARANORMAL ACTIVITY....it was sooooo boring.
I just watched the 2 other movies and, yeah...they are weird...but i love the guy from Jurassic Park.
I loved Prey!
Yup ... the first Paranormal Activity really was not much different from all the cheap and fake youtube haunting videos ... seriously, anyone could make that kind of movie with just fishing lines pulling on the door and blankets ... it really has nothing to offer except off-screen sounds and actors pretending to sleep walk ..... there are so many better fake haunting youtube videos frankly ....
@@88feji lol I agree...but I gotta say, that last scene scared me
Paranormal activity and the omen are overrated for me as well (though because of different reasons)
Only one I horrendously disagree with is Prey.
So glad that #1 is exactly something I've agreed with for such a long time.
Disagree with a lot of the choices some are real classics! Overated horror movies in my opinion are...Paranormal activity, The blair witch project, the sixth sense and the others...
Blair Witch Project is great ... Paranormal Activity is just a bad home video, I can see so many better fake haunting videos made by bored kids on the internet.
It Follows is amazing
It follows is definitely the most overrated movie out there.
I’m enjoying your videos! Respectfully disagree with It Follows, one of my favourites 🤙
Get Out is overrated AF.
It Follows is UNDERrated
The Exorcist has to be #1 (or at least on the list), otherwise I'm disliking the video.
Edit: It wasn't... Your list is BS.😑
The Exorcist is overrated
The original, it was completely different. And it was something that COULD happen in a much more religious world. And same with The Blair Witch project. Now? Meh. But it was the FIRST that did the camera shot by first person. Every SINGLE movie that has “home video, ccv etc., started with that.
Yes, I concur, but it's still good. However, The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity, while clever in their guises, didn't deliver for me and don't even get me started on the Happy Death Day franchise, whose director, actually did a Paranormal Activity sequel, hmmmm....from boring sleepy time tea to PG-13, watered down, poorly acted, easy to get sanctuary theme, it all makes sense.
Exorcist is not overrated at all.
Its top notch movie making even if you are not very scared by it.
Its the ONLY movie in movie history that caused mass hysteria on the scale that it did. Ambulances stationed outside theatres, countless reports of people walking out, fainting, even getting possessed after watching it ....
Sure, its not so scary anymore but thats more due to countless parodies made of it, overexposure in the media also makes reduces its shock value over time ... ALL horror movies because less scary over time even with your current "scariest" as long as you are willing to watch it multiple times ... its like phobia, if you face your phobia straight on (height phobia, spide etc), you will overcome it in time ...
🙃 Promo'SM
Feels like the exorcist should’ve been number 1 lol it’s heavily overrated, no way in hell is it scary nor the scariest of all time🤨plus it feels dated like omen
Name me another movie beside The Exorcist that caused national hysteria requiring ambulances to be stationed outside movie theatres, countless reports of audiences walking out during show, fainting, sleepless nights, reports of people seemingly getting possessed after watching it etc etc ....
Nope, you can't.
Your personal favourite scariest movie would not hold a candle to that.
