Eye Candy Dominic Purcell (Blade 3 and the alligator movie is in this movie)is in "Blood Red Sky" its a great movie of a mothers love protecting her Child,✌✌✌
"Fried Barry" is a different type of watch...
You got some of my faves, especially top 2, you should try Otis.
Blood Red Sky is one of those movies where you wind up rooting for the vampire in a big way.
This is a great list. Seen most of them cuz horror is my jam. Some I havent heard of so its a list worthy of the time spent on this clip
I've actually seen a number of these.......May, Fried Barry, Color Out Of Space, Last Witch Hunter, Behind The Mask. Pretty great list.
So glad to see that you included “Burnt Offerings” in your 20 overlooked horror movie gems. I love this film, Anthony James steals the show as the chauffeur.
Really liked "The Empty Man", "Deadstream" was alot of fun, but "Haunt" is the one that blew me away, really one of the best horror movies I've seen in awhile.
Haunt is great!
Haunt was really good. Trying to pick another off his list, no way it’ll be as good tho.
Was surprised to learn younger people at my work had not heard of the 80s classic American Werewolf in London
A classic! 👍
"Summer of 84" is one of the most 80's - type films that was not filmed in the 80's. LOVED it!
I loved it as well, but considering the ending I think describing it as a "good, fun Halloween watch" like the video does dramatically undersells how dark this movie gets. Some people might be in for a rude awakening.
The Empty Man definitely deserves a top spot. The beginning is a must watch as it informs the ending.
Bro the ending was ass, the rest of the movie was awesome but the ending made no damn sense
When you said Nic Cage and Shudder I KNEW you were gonna mention Mandy. Surprised it didn't make this list... Incredible movie! Totally rewatchable too!
I second Mandy. It's not for everyone since the first half is a real slow burn, focusing more on atmosphere than moving the plot forward. Anyone who doesn't mind that will be treated to one of the most metal movies ever.
I found Haunt two years ago around Halloween and keep going back to it every year it’s a really good horror hidden gem!!
So happy to see Come True and The Guest on this list, as well as other beloved titles, but also quite the reminder for many I've always wanted to check out and never got around to. Thanks for the reminders, killer list as always 🙌🏻
I was a child when I saw Burnt Offerings and that one guy in it fueled my nightmares for years.
I watched May for the first time this year and it immediately become one of my favourite films of all time. It felt perfectly made for me. I've watched over 70 horror films since September 1st, in an attempt to binge as many as possible for autumn. I got to see a few films that are lesser known, at least to people who aren't avid horror fans! My favourites this season have included History of the Occult, May, The Medium, The Loved Ones, Birth/Rebirth, The Harbinger, The Vigil, Under the Shadow, What Keeps You Alive. Some rewatches have been The Borderlands (Also known as Final Prayer) and Inside.
I always liked Near Dark, which was available on Shudder but I'm not sure if it still is. It stars Adrian Pasdar, Lance Henriksen, and Bill Paxton.
One of my all-time favs!
I saw Burnt Offerings on cable in the 80s as a teen and it remains my top freakout movie to this day - and I both saw Amityville Horror and read the book as a kid.
Awesome! Another Burnt Offerings fan! That movie doesn't get nearly enough love.
@@mermaid_at_heart213 for real! I think it's creepier than just about anything out there
ya scared the shyt out of me as kid in 80s also the legendary Bette Davis in it 2👍
Behind the Mask is probably the #1 movie I've recommended/shown people who want a fun horror comedy they've never heard of. Loved it since I rented it on a whim in 2007.
YES! Burnt Offerings is a great film! It doesn't get mentioned enough. I've seen quite a few on this list and they're all quite good. Black Sheep is a riot! It's just a really fun, ridiculous (but not too ridiculous) flick.
The Guest is definitely worth a rental. Excellent movie.
I can personally vouch for Deadstream! I enjoyed every bit of it. I seen it last year when it first dropped
That was a great FLICK CONNECTION Darren. Black Sheep is a blast, fun and scary, rolled into one. Blood Red Sky is indeed a gem. Your presentation on each film was first class. Many thanks for sharing with us 👍👍👍
great list. Black sheep took me by surprise. By the way,, moonlighting is finally up on hulu. Got to love the classics. Thanks Darren.
THANKS DARREN !! I’m watching at least one horror movie per day. This is a big help. ❤
If you're still looking for suggestions, I can offer some: Ready or Not, Mayhem, Warm Bodies, Totally Killer, The Menu, Better Watch Out, The Babysitter (and the sequel, too), Violent Night, Bodies Bodies Bodies, Vivarium, Synchronic and Overlord. Most of these aren't hidden gems, but maybe you'll find them useful anyway.
@@horrormoviereactions thanks m8 !!
You are absolutely correct about The Nightmare. Knowing that this is a documentary and these are real events makes it so much more scarier, The movie did mess with my sleeping foor some time. Very creepy
So excited for this list ,,nightmare is the first one on my list to watch!!!! Love this Halloween season and u make it better with your movie guidance. THANK U Darren
Talk to Me is one of the best horror movies I've seen in quite a while. Loved it.
No one talks about "I Had A Bloody Good Tome at House Harker"
Good fun.
Summer of '84 and Haunt are 2 of the best movies that were originals to 'Shudder' stream. both are fantastic!
Thanks for the List and Video 😀
I like how you advertise the meal prep service. Looks good 👍
Burnt Offerings scared the shit out of me as a kid. That chauffeur is what nightmares are made of
Burnt Offerings is one of my favorites thanks for including it on the list
THIS was the list I was waiting for! Cheers, Darren!
Thank you for this video. Nice pics!!!
Empty Man is so amazing, probably my favorite horror movie... I also really love The Guest, it unfortunately got overshadowed by It Follows so a lot of people don't know missed out on it
Great list! And yes, The Empty Man is absolutely terrific - what a brilliant, bizarre ride!
Thanks for another great list.
Thanks! Saved the video for the list!
LOVED that you picked The Guest. It's my favorite movie of the last decade. It's amazing and so many memories watching it.
Good to see The Empty Man getting a recommendation. The short movie AM2100 by the same director is what made The Empty Man catch my attention. Really excellent Lovecraftian story.
The studios considered it a throwaway but intelligent horror fans call The Empty Man a masterpiece.
Empty man was hella overhyped to me, also not actually scary at all to me.
I consider myself intelligent.......but I found The Empty Man unbearable. Look online, im not alone
So true. This is an excellent movie that didn't get its due.
It has perfect tone, atmosphere, pacing, and tensity.
How anyone can say this is throw away is baffling.
I really like the first part of it, the little story in the story, but the rest I wasn't a fan
It has some interesting aspects, but it’s not something I would purposely watch again. Seemed like a slog after a while. Just kinda meh overall.
I saw the guy who plays Fried Barry in a crime show reenactment on ID. Also, you should add that you also have the option to watch it with Joe Bob Briggs.
Dude! I watched The Guest after the first time you suggested it, and it really cemented you as a reviewer I could count on, with tastes not unlike my own. I don't know how you got so good at this, but I'm sure glad you are.
It’s been a while since I’ve recommended it but check out GOOD TIME starring Robert Pattinson if you haven’t seen it.
ssshyt i saw the Guest few years ago & that F*n Dan Stevens, f*n HOOOOT asf in this flick🔥🔥, NO wonder that teenage B** wants to bang him , anyone wanna do ..i would f*n push him on bed TEAR his pants & shirt su** & ride the ssshyt of him all dayy till he cant f*n get up for daysss, before he goes to jail F*** ya, got him down ..the flick was really eye candy & was disturbing asf Loved it alot , well done 👍
Darren this list is FIRE! TY! Wondering what you think about the new When Evil Lurks.
Awesome List. The Empty Man is AWESOME!
Some cool flicks.
Cant leave out:
The Entity (Bard Hershey,Ron Silver)
Phantasm
Jacobs Ladder (Tim Robins)
Manhunter ( Wil Peterson)
Black Sheep is such a great movie lol I was actually really impressed when I saw it back when it came out.
Im subscribed but somehow the algorithm still hid this from me for a few days. Anyway--another EXCELLENT list! Summer if '84 is a blast and I watch The Guest every October. Gets me in the "fall" mood more than any other movie. Appreciate you, DVD!
You got me with that Black Sheep fakeout 😂😂😂
Burnt Offerings MESSED ME UP when I saw it at the theatre at 11 years of age. Too young? Ya... I brought my 9 year old sister.
I think I've seen 15 of these movies including "Burnt Offerings" which is terrifying. "Skeleton Key" with Idris Elba and I think Hillary Swank is the updated Louisiana Bayou version, equally scary.
Burnt Offerings, which was filmed locally way back when, has long been a favorite. In fact, I watched it again just a couple of months ago. It really holds up as a creepfest. I have been to the mansion where it was filmed. They used to decorate for Christmas and allow tours. It is beautiful.
Skeleton Key is a VERY underrated horror film. It showed me that Kate Hudson can really act! Great cast, unusual story, very creepy in a swampy Louisiana kind of way.
@@vlfriscia yes, its very creepy,...
Fried Barry was wild 🎯
I'm not a huge horror fan, but there are some I enjoy, like the first "Insidious" film. Though "Color out of Space" is both incredible AND peak Nic Cage!
The Guest is one of my favorites! I like your picks, now I DO trust you^^
THANKS
Wow, this is the first time I've seen your recommendations pop up in my feed in months. I've seen Black Sheep before and is one of my favorites in the zombedie category but the rest are new to me. I'm definitely going to have to watch some of these soon.
Come True is awesome, gave me Donnie Darko & David Lynch vibes! Definitely a hidden gem on Hulu, I loved the ending, still gives me chills! Must watch! And Haunt ending: Insane!
The opening of the last witch hunter actually really impressed me.
Color Out of Space is an amazing film. And it’s so awesome to see Cage seeming to make a comeback to good films that are worth watching. Not just films that exist to showcase Cage being a meme of himself for 90 minutes.
Haunted Asylum is also really fun. Kind of like a Korean spin on Grave Encounters.
Dunno if you're aware of it yet but looks up Longlegs. Nick Cage is in it and it looks creepy as hell
Great video. I’m not a huge Cage fan but I did like the HP Lovecraft one on your list. I found Mandy really incredible as well.
Great recs!
Thank you for the recommendations. I just watched The Guest, what a great film.
Awesome I was hoping you would recommend some on Shudder since I’m a member of and can use some help picking the movies. Join because of Creepshow love the original and wanted to see where they we’re taking it.
I actually appreciate the rental hidden gem suggestions. There's a better chance of me not seeing them yet.
Great list as always. I've seen most of them but I'm going to give Deadstream or Fried Barry a shot.
Been waiting for this list
Talk to Me was the best recent horror movie I’ve seen. Come True I loved as a surreal horror before bed. Starry Eyes was also a nice enjoyable surprise, and I watch Burnt Offerings at least once a year just because.
I have seen all of these except Fried Barry. This is a great list. Definitely checking out Fried Barry tonight.
Good list broski!
Been a longtime follower of DvD and almost always agree with his picks (either already have seen or watched per his recommendations). Usually I've seen a good portion of his list but a lot of new stuff here, cant wait to use a free trial for AMC+ 😂. I feel obligated to be truthful though, the only recommendation you've given that i did not enjoy was "The Guest". I think this stems from having military experience that exposes some of the silliness that that movie puts forth that i just couldn't get over to be enjoyable. But as thats the only exception ive had so far, i definitely will keep watching your recs!
@FlickConnection I just watched Talk To Me, thanks for the recommendation, I just rented it and I think as far as genuinely unsettling modern horror movies, I think this is one of the very few, I’ve actually been unsettled by.
Props to A24, for producing a horror movie that actually got under my skin, I believe this is the first horror movie I’ve seen that’s been produced by A24, I may have to check out some of their other productions specifically, Midsommar and Hereditary which, I’ve constantly heard nothing but praise for.
Good list!👍👍👍
Thank you for reccing The Empty Man to me! It was exactly my jam and I definitely wouldn’t’ve given it a shot if not for you.
Thank you. This is exactly what I needed. Top notch ! 💀💀💀
i watched haunt off your recommendation and i was VERY surprised, it really was a hidden gem
Dude. I love behind the mask so much. I watch it every fall. Gotta do that cardio!

I've seen my share of top lists by other youtubers, but this one really struck gold for me, magnificent! Oh and by the way Darren I just wanted to ask you (concidering your last name) are you from Dutch ancestry? If so greetings from Holland, if not then still greetings from Holland! 😉
The name is a little Dutch but I am not
I highly recommend Talk to Me. Just rented it the other night and we loved it.
Was *MASSIVELY* Impressed With Haunt,. 👏👏👏 Looking Forward to Thanksgiving - though.. ...the Exact Precise Release Date and Storyline is Causing Some Second Thoughts,.
. ... ..
Initiating Repetition Mode but I'll also give a Horror Gem Recommendation Shout-out to Enemy, Let Me In, Let the Right One In, Revenge, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, The Survivalist, and A Lonely Place To Die... . 👏👏🎨👏👏👏
Gonjiam, starry eyes, come true, devils candy, may talk to me , and the empty man are some of my favs on this list !! Def have some of these others on my to watch list !
My favorites off this list : Deadstream( Hilarious), Burnt Offerings (Creepy & Freaky),The Empty Man (Brilliant) and The Guest (Badass Awesomeness)!!!
Yes, The Guest deserves the #1 spot! LOVE that movie. Talk to Me is a must watch as well!
Blood Red Sky was surprizingly fire, man!
Thank you!!
I love your channel, Darren! Your recommendations are spot on! I would love to hear your opinion of one of my all time favorite low budget horror films, Salvage (2006). I think it's right up your alley. Exceptional soundtrack, eerie ambiance, and mind blowing story... Please share your thoughts on this underrated masterpiece. Thank you!
I appreciate this video so much. I’m a horror savant (like most of us here probably are) and I’ve only seen a handful of these, so thanks for the recommendations!
The Empty Man was a real surprise for me… slow but fascinating, and ultimately very scary. I thoroughly enjoyed it and NO you cannot skip the first 15 minutes… they are important. Oh, and Colour Out of Space is not only good Lovecraft, it’s one of Nic Cage’s better recent films. (Not in the horror genre, but if you haven’t seen Pig with Nicholas Cage, you are missing an outstanding film, and the best thing Cage has done in years. But that’s just my opinion.)
Pig is on my short list of things to watch. I ran across it the other day and it looks fantastic!
@@mermaid_at_heart213 It’s one of the calmest performances I’ve seen by Cage in years. He’s really quite moving in it.
@DarrenVanDam.. Hi Darren. If you’re replying to me, I don’t know what HMU means. Sorry.
@@scottkirby8204unfortunately YT keeps re moving MY reply letting you know that that's not Darren, it's fa ke.... Isn't YT grand. Leave up spam from a fa ke acct, but ta kes out mine helping you out.
Totally sold on Fried Barry from Darren's description
Apreciate ya❤
You bet
Black Sheep became one of my favorite movies by a past request of yours, thank you!!!
Really liked color out of space and the guest! Need to watch behind the mask, been sleeping on that one forever!
I just came across a hidden gem that no one talks about called The Assent (2019) on Tubi. It's a possession film but it crosses over into psychological horror.
Definitely gonna give Haunt a try.
Blood Red Sky was awesome. Honestly I was surprised that a mix of Nonstop and 30 Days of Night actually worked let alone as well as it did.
Love the Farley cameo
So happy to see May here. While I find it more sad than scary (I really identify with how lonely she is) I have loved and recommended it since it was released.
Starry Eyes is pretty terrific and I adore May. Color Out of Space got me thinking about The Void. Not based on a Lovecraft story but very Lovecraftian. I believe it's still on Tubi.
Blood Red Sky is a Great Movie!!!!!!
But Wow! I hated The Guest! However, I might have bailed before the end. I know I watched it right after watching The Gift which I really liked - it's pretty F'd up by the end!
Thanks!
Gonijiam is one of my all time favorite!! It’s insane
DEADSTREAM is underrated,it’s horror/comedy,and it’s a pretty original spin on found footage movies. Well worth a look.
I don't know how many times I've watch The Last Witch Hunter. I love it.
