I really like Vertigo and do not think that it is overratted. I'm not sure that it is a horror film. More like a psychological thriller.
I first saw Wait Until Dark last month and recorded it from TCM. I enjoyed it but not as a horror film but more as a thriller. My interst was the lead actress Audrey Hepburn. As a thriller it is very good but certainly would be overrated as a horror film.
To me the worst and most overrated film was The Blair Witch Project. A group of first graders could have done better.

I was probably too rough on Wait Until Dark and Hellraiser. Vertigo was disappointing to me; I love most of Alfred Hitchcock's films, but that one just didn't work for me.
I don't share your dislike of The Blair Witch Project (I really enjoyed it), but I can understand why a lot of people didn't like it.
As for the other films, some were boring, some were pretentious, and one had a fundamental flaw in it that I found impossible to overlook.
