Most underrated and overrated movies ever

Rease · Dec 20, 2020

Decided to go specific genre and say for underrated horror movies: Frailty, As Above So Below and Tucker and Dale vs Evil fit the bill.

Overrated horror movies: It Comes at Night, Hush and Paranormal Activity

Edit: So I am a complete idiot and the replies got me thinking. I mixed up It Comes at Night with Deliver us from Evil. No clue how, but I mean Deliver us from Evil is overrated. It Comes at Night was solid throughout and a good movie imho.

Overrated horror movies: It Comes at Night, Hush and Paranormal Activity

First Paranormal Activity with the possession ending was pretty legit, but certainly not worth the hype.

I feel like Frailty has already, correctly, been mentioned in this thread.

Just a reminder... Yup it was bad lol

It's on par with Brad Pitt's"what's in the box?"
Fuck... It's the only thing negative about Se7en.

i always thought of Se7en as a dark comedy. no way thats a serious movie. there are jokes throughout the film. "whats in the box!!!" is the director just telling you flat out its a big laugh. Spacey hams it up the entire time.

I guess "overrated" is very subjective, but for my taste, Deadpool was a complete miss. It fell flat so hard I can't even recall the plot. And I was hyped as fuck before seeing it.

the hype on this board was ridiculous. i saw it, it was ok. it wasnt bad and it had some good moments, but i couldnt really appreciate why everyone was losing their minds over it. i didnt read Deadpool comics, so maybe you had to have some knowledge of the IP to enjoy all the details.

I thought It Comes At Night was pretty damn good. If you are a parent the ending is devastating; if not it is just brutal.

The ending was solid but the move was so slow and tepid in getting there imho.

Holy shit I was thinking of the wrong movie entirely wow. I have no idea how I mixed these up but I actually meant Deliver us from Evil as super overrated at the time. It Comes at night is solid and suspenseful and the ending is crushing.

No idea how I mixed those two movies up in my mind at all.

It Comes At Night is the only extremely disappointing horror flick out of A24 for me, so far. Didn't think it was even close to The VVitch, Hereditary, or Midsommar.

Extremely underrated:

I have the most overrated movie.

The winner is

This was the dumbest movie that had way more press than it should have. The movie was just stupid and yet the hype behind it was phenomenal.

You're so right. It wasn't just that the movie was dumb, the people in the movie were dumb. "You lost the map. Here's a river. We know it goes in to town. We could follow the river. No, let's run around like idiots." Then more dumb things happen.

Stupid people. Stupid movie.

I think it was the first successful viral marketing of the modern era. I remember, in pre historical internet, everyone was talking about this.
Saw it years afterwards. Good God, fuck hand helm camera shot films. I was feeling pretty nauseous and bored at the end.

Yeah that movie got an absurd amount of hype. Was kind of coming off of Clerks having success so people were all about these low budget movies at the time. Difference is Clerks was actually a funny movie with good character interaction and Blair Witch just sucks.

Yeah I nearly barfed in the movie theater. It was nothing compared to Cloverfield though. At least I could watch the Blair Witch Project and just felt sick by the end. Cloverfield I was staring at the floor through the whole thing and still had to go outside a couple of times during the movie to keep from puking. I even got sick watching cloverfield on a small screen years later. Definitely never seeing another shaky cam movie in the theater.

Chukzombi · Jan 12, 2021

i never got nauseous or a headache from Cloverfield. i did get a fucked headache from watching Avatar in 3D though. Cloverfield was entertaining, was funny watching with my dad who worked in Manhattan at the time shitting all over the movie for getting their geography wrong. it took me a long time to realize that the reason there was never an acual sequel to it was fucking Abrams playing his mystery box game to cover for his lack of story or explanation of the monster. just, "look, here's a monster in NYC busting shit up. don't ask why or how, just watch it!" eh ok. he's been getting away with that for 17 years.
