10 Underrated 1980s Horror Movies You Should Definitely Check Out

While there are plenty of classic 1980s horror movies that every genre fan should check out, there are also a lot of underrated efforts from this period that deserve more love. Overall, the 1980s was a strange decade for the horror genre. While the 1970s is mostly associated with grim, brutal grindhouse hits like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Last House on the Left, the decade also gave viewers mainstream successes like The Exorcist and Carrie. Similarly, while the ‘90s is mostly famous for post-ironic meta-slashers like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, it was also the heyday of psychological thrillers like Se7en.
