Lesser Known Horror (seen)
Maybe. I don't really keep up with what's popular.
Please note: I said, "lesser known," not "super unknown." However, I'm still open to input, through other channels, under the same user name. I'm nearly always up for talking about movies.

- DirectorBabak AnvariStarsNarges RashidiAvin ManshadiBobby NaderiAs a mother and daughter struggle to cope with the terrors of the post-revolution, war-torn Tehran of the 1980s, a mysterious evil begins to haunt their home.Interesting.
- DirectorBrian Trenchard-SmithStarsWarwick DavisJohn GatinsLee ArmstrongAn evil leprechaun finds himself in Las Vegas, where he proceeds to cause mischief by killing people, granting twisted wishes, and infecting a young man with his green blood.Better than most in the series, but that's not saying much.
- DirectorRob SperaStarsWarwick DavisIce-TAnthony MontgomeryWhen three rappers want to get even with a pimp, they accidentally unleash a leprechaun who goes on a killing rampage in tha 'hood.Offensive and fun, if you're a bit brain-dead.
Ends with Leprechaun rap. - DirectorRyûhei KitamuraStarsTak SakaguchiHideo SakakiChieko MisakaThere are 666 portals that connect this world to the other side. These are concealed from all human beings. Somewhere in Japan exists the 444th portal.... The forest of resurrection.Low-budget action-horror. Really silly, but fun.
- DirectorAnthony HickoxStarsZach GalliganDeborah ForemanJennifer BasseyA wax museum owner uses his horror exhibits to unleash evil on the world.Been a favourite since I was a kid.
Has werewolves, vampires, BDSM, a mummy, zombies, etc. - DirectorJames GunnStarsNathan FillionElizabeth BanksMichael RookerA small town is taken over by an alien plague, turning residents into zombies and all forms of mutant monsters.Fun.

- DirectorShin'ya TsukamotoStarsTomorô TaguchiKei FujiwaraNobu KanaokaA businessman accidentally kills The Metal Fetishist, who gets his revenge by slowly turning the man into a grotesque hybrid of flesh and rusty metal.Experimental. Hard to follow, but it looks cool.
- DirectorNeil JordanStarsSarah PattersonAngela LansburyDavid WarnerA teenage girl in a country manor falls asleep while reading a magazine, and has a disturbing dream involving wolves prowling the woods below her bedroom window.Weird.
- DirectorRyûhei KitamuraStarsTakao OsawaMasaya KatôKanae UotaniA raging god of battle and a master samurai duke it out in a series of sword fights in a remote temple.Bottle movie. Not a lot to it. Some may find it boring.
- StarsErnst-Hugo JäregårdKirsten RolffesGhita NørbyDoctors at an ultramodern hospital in Denmark become convinced, by way of weird, inexplicable happenings, that the place is haunted.Very odd. Unfortunately the third and final part was never finished. I still think it's worth watching, despite its flaws.
- DirectorRalph NelsonStarsRock HudsonBarbara CarreraDiane LaddA scientist (Rock Hudson) doing experiments on a human fetus discovers a method to accelerate the fetus into a mature adult in just a few days. All is not well though as the child begins to exhibit some horrific tendencies.Odd.
- DirectorSandor SternStarsDavid HewlettCynthia PrestonTerry O'QuinnIsolated by his strange parents, Leon finds solace in an imaginary friend, which happens to be an anatomy doll from his father's doctor office. Unfortunately, the doll begins to take over Leon's life, and his sister's life as well.Creepy.

Realistic gore effects by Tom Savini.
- DirectorGuillermo del ToroStarsFederico LuppiRon PerlmanClaudio BrookA mysterious device designed to provide its owner with eternal life resurfaces after four hundred years, leaving a trail of destruction in its path.Strange vampire-ish movie.
- DirectorMaria LeaseStarsDenise CrosbySam BottomsRip TornA toy manufacturer buys the 'Dolly Dearest' factory in Mexico, where the malevolent spirit of Sanzia, a devil child, has taken refuge in one of the porcelain dolls, and eventually takes control of his daughter.I think she's creepier than Chucky, but I like Chucky waaaay more.
- DirectorLewis TeagueStarsDrew BarrymoreJames WoodsAlan KingA stray cat is the linking element of three tales of suspense and horror.Weird anthology. Appreciate the hero cat, but there is animal cruelty depicted in parts.
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsSteve RailsbackMathilda MayPeter FirthA race of space vampires arrives in London and infects the populace, beginning an apocalyptic descent into chaos.These are aliens that suck out people's life force. They're often described as vampires, and their stasis pods look like glass coffins, but they still aren't vampires. Lots of nudity.
- DirectorSiu-Tung ChingStarsChow Yun-FatEmily ChuKit Ying LamA Hong Kong man vacations to Nepal where a local tribe imbues him with magical powers which he must use to fight a growing evil.Funny and totally wacky. Lots of everything.
- DirectorLawrence KasdanStarsMorgan FreemanThomas JaneJason LeeFriends on a camping trip discover that the town they're vacationing in is being plagued in an unusual fashion by parasitic aliens from outer space.Butt weasels.

When Spike dialed 976-EVIL, he knew it was an expensive toll call, but he didn't know that he'd have to pay for it with his soul.It was one of my favourites as a kid. Many versions got mangled. Look for same version as VHS.

- DirectorStuart GordonStarsEzra GoddenFrancisco RabalRaquel MeroñoA boating accident runs a young man and woman ashore in a decrepit Spanish fishing town which they discover is in the grips of an ancient sea god and its monstrous half human offspring.
