That part in Splinter where (SPOILERS) The cop gets pulled in half was gross but really funny. It looked like her insides were made of raw chicken.
What in the wild wild world of sports is skillshare?
Hey Cody,
Have you ever seen a movie titled "Alice Kills"? If you have, tell me what you think of it, thanks!
Slither is definitely an underrated horror gem.
The Crazies remake from 2010 is so freaking underrated imo. Dead Silence too, literally the one James Wan movie nobody seems to acknowledge which I never understood. I definitely agree with you on Frailty as I grew up on it because my mom owns it. Also, idk if you saw Cody, but Session 9 is now on Netflix!
James wan doesn’t even want to acknowledge dead silence. He said something about it being weak, poorly written/made and that he’s embarrassed by it. Dead Silence is so fun and interesting. It’s an original idea! I love that movie. Wan not liking it makes me a little sad.
Both are crazy
Sky Min Yessssss! The Crazies and Dead Silence are a few of my faves!
Dead Silence is not all that impressive or fun, the ending makes the whole movie
@Sky Min, anyone who loves horror or even Saw films watched Dead Silence, it's not as unknown as some say. Also theres a Easter egg of Jigsaw doll in the film if your on top of catching small things.
Frailty is by far my favorite movie I had never heard of. Bill Paxton was a genius with the acting and directing. Session 9 is also in my top 5.
Frailty was awesome. Bill Paxton was also great in the lesser known horror film Mortuary (1983).
@@boydcrowder5034 He was also great in "A Simple Plan" starring alongside Billy Bob Thornton. This is also a hidden great gem of a movie.
Wes craven film shocker is underrated. 😀👍
Agreed. And Horace Pinker is an underrated villain.
@@rolandfuller7930 he is a give him some respect. 😀👍
Mitch Pileggi is a great villain on the series Sons of Anarchy he played a good bad character his name was Ernest Darby and he was a white supremacist who towards the end change a great actor nonetheless
@@chrisjudge4309 thanks you for telling me and he was on the x-files. 😀👍
100% Agree. Love Shocker
I am so glad the loved ones was in the thumbnail, I love that movie so underrated. I think like most of these movies if they had sequels they would be known more.
Frailty was a fantastic film Cody! Bill Paxton (RIP) & Matthew Mcconaughy knocked it out of the park! 😊👍
"May" from 2002 is definitely a gem.
Both a tragic character drama and descent into horror that understands the pain of loneliness.
It's a Horror film I love that nobody ever talks about and it's a damn shame why. You should check that one out Cody!
Oh that was a good one too
Great list!! Congrats on getting a sponsor also 👀👀 keep up the great work brother
Some great horror movies I love that I hardly ever hear anyone talk about are The Changeling, Dolls, and Madhouse (1981).
I love the changeling. Better than The Exorcist or The Conjuring imo
Dolls is a great and very underrated film
Changeling with George C Scott was awesome
Exactly. Mad House was awesome
Dolls is so good
Holy crap Frailty sounds awesome! When you started explaining the plot I just went😳. Mine would be The Babysitter 2017, 30 Days of Night, Summer of 84 and The Autopsy of Jane Doe.
The Loved Ones is such a great movie! I read about it in Rue Morgue years ago. Unfortunately, the film hasn't received the love it deserves.
I watched Loved Ones, it kind of reminds me of Texas chainsaw massacre and Fatal Attraction rolled in one.
I couldn’t agree more with Frailty. It is criminally underrated and is just an amazing film. I watched it one night out of boredom and I was so invested with the story that I couldn’t take my eyes off of it... then the ending happened and my mind was completely blown. Totally subverted my expectations and it is by far one of (if not) the best endings I’ve ever seen.
Rest In Peace Bill Paxton, who himself was criminally underrated. Every role he plays, no matter how good or bad the film, you can’t take your eyes off him. The fact that he also directed this shows you what a great director he also could have been.
Frailty is AMAZING!!
I know this is 2 years old but frailty I saw when it came out. At the time it was praised. I think Ebert gave it 4 stars if I remember correctly which is his highest rating. It just hasn’t really stayed in peoples minds for some reason. It’s one of those classics that people forgot about. It’s criminal
Black christmas is getting bigger BUT it still doens't get the love and respect it should have. I know at least 10 people who or have never seen it or don't like it because they saw halloween first and say black christmas as a rippoff.
I just recently watched Black Christmas for the first time. It's free on TH-cam movies at the moment. Might be the creepiest movies I've ever seen. Two thumbs up
Glad you gave Frailty so much love. It's sad how underrated it is.
awesome list cody i watched every movie on this list and they all deserve higher praise than they got frailty especially that ending is so good and you never see it coming until they completely pull the rug out from under you.
Underrated psychological horror/thrillers: Bad Match, Dear Mr Gacy, Can't come out to play, Baby Blues, Pyewacket.
Summer of 84 would be up there on my list
A great Canadian film!
Don’t watch it
I thought it was going to be like stranger things
But It’s trash 🗑
Hell yeah Trick or Treat!! 80s classic. I was even lucky enough to interview the star Marc Price. I checked out "The Perfection" last year based on your recommendation. You weren't kidding....one hell of a movie! I did enjoy it though. Great job on the video!
I think I saw this years ago because I remember going what the hell is Skippy from Family Ties doing in this, lol?
Cody, Cody, Cody...another solid list. I really appreciate how you do the patrion picks. It’s such a fun way to engage with your ever growing community! As a younger channel, i always love seeing great channels grow and yours is no exception. Keep up the good work as always. Looking forward to the next videos...especially wrapping up that Saw review series 😁
I think Summer of 84 is criminally underrated
A great Canadian film!
I smoked a blunt with three actor in behind the mask while viewing it on a projector in my brother's back yard. Priceless
I watched Splinter one night on Syfy channel really enjoyed it. Was not expecting to find it at the Dollar Tree.
Thank you SO much for posting this video. I hadn't watched Frailty in like 12 years, so I streamed it and then immediately streamed Behind the Mask. That's got to be up there with Cabin in the Woods for me. Loved it. Thank you for all you do!
Yay my suggestion!! Very good list because I have not seen any of these but now I’ve got a list of movies to check out!
Cody this upload is awesome. I watched Stake Land last night from your recommendation and loved it! Thanks and keep it coming brotha!
Ive seen some of these movies but the one's i haven't seen, im definitely gonna check out. Thanks Cody 😁✌
cool channel i like your way calm and to the point you really have new names that i didint see on other channels ! you really dug deep keep it up and keep those gems coming haha !
Yes! Splinter and Behind the Mask are awesome! Really liked Midnight Meat train too. Love the channel and keep them coming
Had not heard of 8 of these Cody so thank you for the education this evening good Sir. Have a good weekend with your family. Stay Safe
I remember Splinter! God, I caught it on SciFi years ago, and remember being sucked into it.
Frailty is one of my absolute favorites. Some others I would include are the Cottage, Dead Snow, Pontypool, Severance, Dog Soldiers, Dead Air, The Signal, Sweet Heart, The Girl With All the Gifts, and Triangle
Your videos are endlessly entertaining. Love when you spotlight the rarities. 🖤
Blows my mind every time somebody tells me they never seen frailty
Ikr
Not sure if this is your thing or not but the Korean movie I SAW THE DEVIL is one of the best movies I've ever seen.
Head and shoulders (and feet) above anything mentioned here. But not so much a horror, more a thriller with gore.
Talking about Korean movies... THE WAILING is a mustwatch. A mix of horror, thriller, mystery, crime... as a fan of such movies it felt like Disneyland (in the best possible sense) for me. What a ride.
Oh yes.
Frailty is sooooo underrated and such a good movie 🍿
perfume diary of a murderer is one i hear nobody talking about and its fantastic...
That's a great film. Criminally underrated. That's a well-recommended watch.
Extremely underrated Hidden Gem nice name drop
Frailty is so good! I can’t wait to see you review Trick or Treat! I used to have it on VHS recorded off the movie channel. Haven’t seen it in over 20 years.
Just watched the Perfection. I liked it. Good call.
yes. the loved ones! it’s one of my most favorite movies of all time. this movie doesn’t get enough love.
Frailty is Soooo good. Glad you keep highlighting it.
I love Behind the Mask! I always recommend it when someone asks for little known movies cuz most people have never heard of it but it’s so good! The part about cardio is hilarious!
Train to Busan is a great Zombie movie.
Hey Cody. I just wanted to say that watching your channel has been quite a journey. I’ve had my ups and downs along the way and not only have you cheered me up, but I’ve loved watching your channel grow. Don’t stop man. Keep being the best.
Awesome!
Just watched the Loved Ones because of your recommendation and I absolutely loved it. I'm a big Evil Dead fan and loved the dark humour of this movie! 👌🏾 well done!
Outstanding!!!...Great information wonderful presentation!!!...Thanks very much!!!...\m/
Splinter is a really cool, overlooked title, pity the director never did much afterwards (his early shorts are worth checking out though). Session 9 is great too, although it wasn't made for TV, it played film festivals and went to cinemas in most territories...
Underrated 80's slasher films:
1.Pieces
2.The Funhouse
3.Madman
4.Final Exam
5.Happy Birthday to Me
6.Just Before Dawn
7.The Mutilator
8.Night School (closest thing to an American giallo)
9.Stage Fright
10.Intruder (Great kills, Sam Raimi has a decent sized part, Bruce Campbell Cameo)
11.Blood Rage
12.Curtains
13. New York Ripper
14.The Dorm that Dripped Blood
15.Terror Train
Blood rage and the mutilator are fantastic thanks for more recmentations
Got ten great films to watch now Cody I'll post a listen of my gems on patron 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏻👍🏻
Splinter is one of my all time favourite horror movies . It is soooo good . Great video 📹 👍 13th ghost and the possession of Michael King are underrated horrors for me
Great list! I saw the Perfection based on your recommendation a while back. I really want to see Session 9 and Frailty.
My recommended hidden gems would be:
Witchboard
976 Evil
I Madman (aka Hardcover)
Ghost Story
Hard Candy
Dead End
Fade to Black
Identity
P2
Paperhouse
The Madusa Touch
Z
The Hitcher
The Woman in Black (the ITV 1989 version).
Nice list, I'll need to check these out. Very cool to see splinter made it on this list, totally agree.
That movie is wild and disturbing 💀
Interesting list, thanks. Frailty was excellent. Session 9 is awesome, just stuck with me for days, still scared to revisit it lol
Frailty is so damn good. RIP Bill Paxton.
Great video. I love Trick or treat and have seen it over 100 times
Great video as always! Question Cody, at least where I live Netflix has for the first time "Freddy vs Jason". Watching again after so many years. Have you reviewed it? If not, c'mon please do it!😁😁😁
Hey Cody I wanted to ask could you do a top 10 best resident evil characters of all time btw your the best horror kind of channel on TH-cam and can’t wait to watch these 10 gems 😊
The Rise of Leslie Vernon is such a joyride! A fan of slasher movies needs to witness this film at least once in their life
Great list dude, lots of movies i had not heard about. I would never put Frailty on any best list though, i hate that movie. You don't see any of the murders. Would you consider making a part 2?
Frailty was indeed a pure masterpiece. Thank you so much for this recommendation, I was blown away...❤❤❤
I could only watch Frailty once, that movie creeped me the f*** out. Splinter was a great film,I really enjoyed it. Now, Session 9...WOW. That last line in the film will totally haunt you. Had no idea it was a made for tv movie though.
I’ve been wanting to watch Stake Land and now I have to see GirlHouse. So glad to see Session 9 and Frailty so high on your list. Amazing movies. One of my favorite underrated horror movies is Joy Ride.
I thought The Gift was a Christmas movie, never heard of it before, but I was at the edge of my seat. Good drama /psychological thriller
I saw The Loved Ones which was really crazy and Splinter yes, you cannot be squemish for that one. Great review!
Thanks!! Added a few new movies to my watch list.
Loved Leslie Vernon!
I finally agree with you on something. Frailty is one of the best horror movies I've seen. You probably already have it but if not pick up the blu-ray and watch the commentary so much great info on that. You'll end up liking it even more.
Great top 10 list Cody. There's Some great film's you have on your list. Behind The Mask, Girlhouse, 13 Sins and Splinter were all great film's.
My brother gave me Splinter when he was clearing out his old DVDs I loved it so was shocked to hear about it’s limited success!
It follows is pretty much a unappreciated and underrated which is a shame cause I think it's a masterpiece of a film it's one of my favourite films of all time
Is it under appreciated? Im sure it has a cult following not sure if it is mainstream though
I am so happy tp see "splinter" get some love!!! Creature features are my jam and this is one of the my favorites!! We need more like it!
I just watched frailty because of this video, all can say is that you're completely right, what an awesome movie, all the plot twists made is such an awesome watch!
I remember Frailty...it had me confused...scared...contradicting myself..lmao awesome!!! definite thriller
Frailty is such a great film! I really don’t understand how it is so under the radar for the general public because it deserves attention! It’s creepy and so effective and I just was floored by the twists at the end!! Frailty is insane and man is it amazing!!
Have you seen Inside? It's a French film from 2007, it starts slow but once it starts going it is a really great film. Great gore, cinematography.
You ever see Cold Prey 1 and 2? They're slasher films from Scandinavia and are awesome. Just like the original two Halloween movies, they take place in the same night and the sequel ends at a hospital. The first is one of my favorite slasher films from the last 20 years.
The teenage boy called "Tugboat" (wow Tugboat!) In Girlhouse also starred in
Dear Mr Gacy... another good movie
Splinter is sooooo good. I saw it when i was so little but didnt know the name (until you just mentioned it in your video) ahhh memories, might have to pull that one up again
I love Frailty. That movie sticks with you and the acting is well done. Session 9 was interesting to me because I grew up in the town where the mental hospital is located. It was cool to see the inside of the hospital since it has been closed and boarded up a long time.
Another great vid I would have voted for this one but being a dumb ass on the vote I didn't work out until too late you had to click to reveal the full list to vote on. I'm shocked how many I've not seen, so looking forward to checking the ones I've not. I watched Upgrade solely on your review and I bloody loved it.
“Session 9” and “Frailty” are masterpieces.
Nice vid Cody, have you seen District 9? I feel you might like it..
Awesome ranking. I only ever heard of the top 3, I always thought number 1 was pretty decent. So I have a few here that I think are underrated, hopefully you can check them out too.
Blood Creek
Knife Edge (British mystery)
Under the Shadow (Iranian horror)
The Skeleton Key
Fear of the Dark (Kevin Zegers)
Recycle (Asian horror)
Lisa (90s stalker thriller)
Into the Grizzly Maze
Homicidal
Strait Jacket
Burn Witch Burn aka Night of the Eagle
The Burning
The Invatation (Logan Marshall Green)
Howl (Werewolves on a train)
Late Phases (blind veteran vs werewolf)
That's it, sorry there's so many, but hopefully you find one that sounds cool. Thanks Cody!
Wrote down a lot of them! Time to Watch some hidden gems. Cheers brother.
Send me the list
I liked Girlhouse, Trick or Treat (stars: Lita Ford, Gene Simmons, and Ozzy), Session 9, and Frailty (I loved the ending). I'll have to check out Behind The Mask. I think these are two other hidden jems: The Exorcist 3 and The Entity.
I just got done watching Behind the Mask. Outstanding. An obvious twist,but what a ride all the way through.
Cody, I finally was able to watch Session 9. The movie was awesome! It did have a slow burn but it ended up being a great movie! I had never heard of it before you mentioned it. Thanks!! 👍
Incident in a Ghostland is a great movie that you never hear about--with an interesting psychological twist. Also, Manhunter, prequel to Silence of the Lambs is a great movie with a fantastic soundtrack.
Those are some great movies! Some other hidden gems would be Incident in a Ghostland, 30 Days of Night, Haunt, Starry Eyes and The Ritual.
Also, 28 Days Later & 28 Weeks Later, Dog Soldiers and 30 Days of Night are an awesome combo of zombie, werewolf and vampire movies that go very well with each other.
Ironically, 28 Days Later came out the same year as Dog Soldiers, while 28 Weeks Later came out the same year as 30 Days of Night.
The ritual and dog soldiers very underrated films, both awesome movies. I also really enjoyed Haunt and Hell House LLC which I never hear get any love 😩
I agree with frailty, I actually saw it in theaters at a advanced screening. I’ve been telling people about it ever since. Great picks
Heard of Stakeland on a Fangoria ad on the back of the mag back then
The bluray was available at the dollar store a couple years ago
I agree with you totally about Frailty (and yep-own that one too).
I did talk about Girlhouse last year. I enjoyed it. Slone is a very good Slasher as Loverboy.
Bad Match is a movie that caught me off guard...what a ending !
pretty kool list. i'm happy about the majority of those movies getting some love and being mentioned here. and yes, "frailty" is really great. i'm a little sad that bill paxton only directed very few movies. this was a whole new dimension of him that i really appreciated.
The Ritual is one of my favorites, love that movie
The Rise of Leslie Vernon is one of the more inventive and clever films I've seen in years...like Cody said if you're a fan of the slasher genre you will absolutely love this one. You can tell it was made by people who have great appreciation and respect for the genre.
Thank you Cody for the recommendations, i watched Splinter and Girlhouse last night, enjoyed them very much!
I wasn't sick of your #1. Because I never heard of it. I'll add it to my list. RIP Bill Oaxton
This is a list I've wanted you to do for years
Anybody seen Ravenous? That was a favorite of mine back in the late 90s(?). Historical cannibal slasher genre 🤷🏽♀️
My top 5 horror hidden gems are
5. Intruder (1989) It’s a gory underrated slasher with awesome direction by Scott Spiegel
4. Splinter (2008) Awesome brutal creature feature i really dug it
3. You’re Next (2013) Badass home invasion film
2. Hobo with a Shotgun (2011) This is one of my favorite films period
1. The Guest (2014) A awesome black comedy thriller one of my favorite films period
Hobo with a shotgun is an exploitation film, not horror. To me anyway.. Love it.
