The Ring and the entire Phantasm series spring to mind.
I thought The Ring was terrible. It was semi scary throughout and then the end just made it completely suck. The Phantasms are just boring. The Tall Man? Come on... What a gay villain. Oh wow, he controls some little orb that kills people in the exact same manner every single time... How exciting... Not only did the villain suck, but the hero was lame as well. How can you cheer for a fat bald middle aged hick named Reg? I was actually rooting for him to get killed in the first one. (I thought he did too, but damn them!) Every sequel after that, I would just roll my eyes when this tard showed up... "Oh no, not Reggie again. This guy sucks!"
Child's Play and Leprecahun sucked too, but I haven't really heard anyone saying they didn't, so I guess it would be hard to consider them over rated.
Side note: I really liked Wrong Turn alot. I thought it was one of the best new horror films that came out last year.
Same with 28 Days Later. I liked it. Sure the plot was not very original, but the cinematic aspects of that film were awesome! Waking up from a coma to find the hospital deserted and then wandering outside to realize the entire city is the same way... That was just freaky how they filmed that sequence.
I also liked Underworld, but I don't really consider it a horror movie. It's an action movie with vampires and werewolves. Yes, there are some horror aspects there, but that much gunplay makes it an action film in my mind.
Okay, that's enough rambling for me...
