Forgot to mention that I think you're bang on about the Descent. Can't say enough about that flick. That one is pretty near-perfect to me. Thanks.

The Exorcist in my opinion is Horror Masterpiece i mean it's really hard to find another horror movie that has had a bigger effect on society then the Exorcist the movie is like 30 years old and it still holds up very well today just because the movie isn't all gore and fake blood doesn't mean it's not disturbing. When the exorcist was released everybody was going to church. This movie also has some of the most famous scenes in a horror movie like the girl's head spinning or coming down those stairs like a spider so in my opinion their is no doubt that The Exorcist is a Horror Masterpiece.

As for most of the others on the list I will agree with you on the fact that many of them are overrated but I can't get passed The Exorcist and some people not liking it. To me it's brilliant!

Great read!

While there are a few in your list that I haven't seen, I would for the most part agree with it. My one exception is Halloween 2. Personally I liked it, but from what I've read, a good majority of people not only hate it, but essentially ignore it's existence.

In regards to #8 I've never heard anybody say that they thought the 2003 version of Texas Chainsaw Massacre was superior to the original. Though if I did hear somebody say that I would also get a strong desire to punch them in the mouth.

agree with pretty much all of them apart from Suspiria. although id have to also put on the first TCM was a great dissapointment when i got to watch the totally banned film (in the UK) just a woman screaming through it all most shit. also the original Dawn Of The Dead has really not aged well. But yea Suspiria is great

I gotta agree with kissfreak on this on, I don't think I've heard many people praise HALLOWEEN 2 - let alone "over rate" it. The general consensus is that the movie sucks and most tend to ignore it completely than anything else.

If anything, I'd say RZ's HALLOWEEN 2 is underrated, but that's just me.

Yep H2 is underrated or off the map in my eyes. People don't give it a chance half the time, I'm just now warming up to it.
