Most Underrated Film
 

I think that "The Ring" or "Ringu" is the most underrated film today..

Thats a hard Q. i don't know how many times a critic had really panned a movie, even to the point of my not going to see it. but when i did eventualy see it , it was good or great. so i dont which one iwould say was the most underrated . theres been so many.

I hear ya....28 days later was another

i wouldn't call it underated because it would have to be known to be underated but i have to say this is a movie everyone should see:

How about overrated? I saw Mystic River this weekend and, my goodness. Bleh. Not awful, but not very good either. PLus, it is always hard to listen to decent actors BUTCHER a boston accent....

How about overrated? That is for definate, some of the highest rated films I've seen have been awful but some underrated ones are brilliant. But as to you question I can't think of just one either. A few recenter ones I can think of are Fear dot Com, Below and Long time dead.

Ugh. Fear dot com was a terrible movie. it wasn underrated,, if it recieves any adulation at all, it is overrated.

Underated films. Exorcist 3. Another one that everyone seems to hate but I thought was pretty good was Jurassic Park 3.

I agree on JP3 Bud. It never pretended to be anything other than a bunch of people stuck on dinosaur island. That is what the trailers made it out to be. Why did anyone expect anything else?


I think Alien 3 is one of the most maligned movies around, and doesnt really deserve to catch aas much shit as it does. I hated that they killed hicks and newt, btu they did well with that fact.....

I just saw it too, and agree. Not really original either.

Ben Kingsley should have won for House of Sand And Fog. Very powerful movie, and a genuine Shakespearian like tragedy!

Im with ya there vodstok.
Both Jp3 [the best in the jurrasic park series] and Alien 3 were very good films, much underrated.

I actually liked all of the Jurassic Park movies...I don't know why everyone rags on them all the time:(

john carpenters vampires thats a classic but rare

mystic river was so very overrated and the ring was underrated but i think that bill and ted's excelent journy is underrated

As newer movies goes, I think Wrong Turn was underrated, Freddy vs. Jason, sorry guys, over-rated.

I agree with you 100% ultimate. FvJ sucked monkey balls, IMO.

Wrong turn was one i actually excpected to dislike immensly, but ended up liking it a lot.

Agreed....its really not a bad movie and it is pretty well executed.....wrong turn on the other hand....

I totally agree with Gore on that one. I mean that Keanu Reeves and his friend provided some of the best acting talent ive ever seen! Funny Movie none the less.

And i liked wrong turn alright

Re: Most Underrated Film
 

not that i don respect your opinion but are you mad that movie has such a huge fanbase and is way overrated. Look how much money it made in theaters

most underrated movie imo is cabin fever people just dont relise all the horror elements put into it. Its got elements from films like the thing, last house on the left, evil dead, and countless others

this has been said before, but i thought the cell was pretty underrated. once you get past j. lopez, it's a pretty creepy film ( ugh... the she-man ! ). vincent d'onofrio is very underrated as an actor as well.

Hell YA!!! I fucking LOVE this movie and everyone else hates it just because of jennifer lopez....its a shame really....

Die.
Die Now.
Die A Slow,
Painful and Gruesome Death.
Right Now.
Die.

All I need to say, I think


As far as the actualy topic goes, I think some underrated ones would have to be,

The Time Machine(Remake)
House on Haunted Hill(Remake)
Mad City
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Underworld

Thats just IMO

id say NOES part 4 that was really underratted but i thought it was good

Same here. I actualy enjoyed those movies. The water in the foot-step moving was priceless. I mean, really, Dinosaurs coming back by DNA. How can you diss that?

vamp i definetly agree with the house on haunted hill (r) that movie rocks

How fucking dare you, bitch? Just for that, you're off my favorite member list, and my list is ahard as hell to get on.

yeah fvj was awsome it had some inconsistencies but i kicked ass

Agreed. It's got some really good scenes, like the roach scene, and the battle at the end in the cathedral ON TOP of the pue's that was kickass!!!

yeah that was cool the on NOES that i didnt care for that much was NOES 5. Not saying NOES 5 isnt good

I liked the motorcycle scene in 5, and the escher scene at the end with the staircases....and most of all, when freddy came back in the cathedral with that one broken arm...that looked BADASS....the one i cant stand is freddy's dead....nothing but comedy in that film really.....thank GOD we got new nightmare so we werent left with that piece of shit...

yeah i was really pleased with new nightmare

Underrated
 

Dracula 2001
League Of The Extraodinary Gentlemen
Poltergeist 3
Secret Of NIMH
The Last Unicorn
The Time Machine (Remake)
Underworld

clown house not big budget or well known but deserves to be

I didn't really like underworld

One of the worst movies i've seen in a good while....

Pet Sematary 2, it doesnt get enough attention, it was actually pretty good.

I think Cabin Fever is underrated too. Awesome movie.

yes finally someone who agrees on the cabin fever thing

alot of stephen king sequals get underrated like carrie 2 i liked it

i liked nightmare 5 too
