|  sleepinsafety | Jul 28, 2006 9:58pm | i am not sure what overlooked films means exactly...
on one hand there is this idea of popularity and on the other an idea of likability, so with that in mind i made my choices based on movies that had an element of horror attached but were not generally considered 'horror' movies per se:
the stepford wives (the original)- i consider this film to be a 'sophisticated' zombie movie.
beloved- i know, i know but technically it is a ghost story. i enjoy the idea of 'hungry ghost' i.e. a spirit so jaded that its wants and needs are all consuming and destructive.
they live and lifeforce- 2 sci-fi/horror movies that just didn't make it to 'classic' status, but remain tender in my heart. |

Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977) with only Linda Blair, Max von Sydow (in flashbacks) and Kitty Winn. Richard Burton as Fr. Philip Lamont. Related Burton films: Night of the Iguana (Rev. T. Lawrence Shannon), Doctor Faustus, Equus?
The Exorcist III (1990) second sequel; dir. William Peter Blatty, based on his book "Legion," the sequel to Exorcist; the film ignored the events of Exorcist II; George C. Scott as Lt. Kinderman, and Ed Flanders as Fr. Joseph K. Dyer.

I recall the beginning of the movie was gruesome for me.

"Tired of torturing the damned in Hell, an idealistic she-devil heads for the world above to begin serving her own brand of justice."
An amazing scene is when she rips the spine out of a bad guy. Never saw that before! Pretty good FX. |
