Lesser known horror films

And even early works of horror by leading filmmakers.

It's a real shame we don't have a thread devoted to them, because most of the pioneers of horror who shaped the genre had some really good and solid lesser-known works and early flicks which were outright solid and awesome.

This thread will be devoted to discuss those films and also act as a sort of recommendation thread to other ardent horror fans keen to check out such films of great filmmakers.

Let's start with George Romero. We know all about his "Dead" films, but what of the rest?
Here's a brief list :-

Hungry Wives aka Season of the Witch (1972)

The Crazies (1973) (admit it - only after talks of the remake surfaced that people started to take some interest in the original)

Martin (1977)

Monkey Shines (1988) (gets shoved under the Romero radar a lot)

Two Evil Eyes (1990) [with Dario Argento]

The Dark Half (1991) (under-estimated as well)



Have you seen these? If yes, would you recommend them to others?

All this and more. Bring them to this thread, and discuss.
