Hidden Horror Movie Gems From The 2010s

Some actors never really connect with an audience at large. Maybe it's because their personal lives overshadow their work, or maybe they're stuck in a cycle of films that don't make use of their full potential. The actors collected here all have that problem in one way or another, but even so, they managed to<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/villains-played-by-comedians/anncasano"> tap into something primal</a> and exciting while appearing in a dark, meaty role.Playing a dark role in a thriller or horror movie allows an actor to try things they've never tried before. They can explore different parts of themselves and show off chops they'd never use in a romantic comedy or a cookie-cutter blockbuster. In a genre picture, actors can show the audience <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/hollywood-nice-guys-cast-against-type/jake-williams">a different side of themselves</a> and completely change the public's perception.Who are the actors who found their stride going dark?

There are some film tropes that we never get tired of: the femme fatale, supervillains saying "I don't pay you to think," and of course, people being eaten alive and surviving. This happens all the time in movies regardless of genre. Whether the movie is about fighting demons, finding a lost child, or tracking down a car after a wild night, you better believe someone is getting swallowed whole and miraculously surviving.If you're wondering how one goes about being swallowed whole by an alien/monster/whale and surviving, then we've got you taken care of. Each of the following characters had the bad luck of falling into the belly of the whale (so to speak) and surviving thanks to magical swords, friendly chainsaws, and even just some regular old smoke. Which of these characters survived by luck and which were too smart to be turned into a meal?

Villains in film are often undone by their own obsessions, whether it's a desire for riches or <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movie-villains-getting-revenge-on-hero/orrin-grey">revenge</a>, they just can't get out of their own way.

Many of the following villains chased unnecessary retribution for things as small as being called ugly or being stood up on New Year's Eve.If you learn anything from the following stories of failure, we hope it's that you can't waste your time on revenge - especially when there are hundreds of millions of gold bullion on the line.

Underrated Horror Films Set At Creepy Colleges

Audiences will put up with many things from Hollywood, but the one thing filmgoers have little tolerance for is a remake of a cinema classic. At best, these remakes are misguided attempts at doing something new with a tried and true film, but in many cases, they can feel like jaded cash grabs and excuses to trot out well-known pieces of IP.Some of these reboots were meant to<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/franchise-reboots-that-only-lasted-one-movie/jacob-shelton"> jumpstart a new franchise</a> and stalled out immediately, while others completely disappeared from our collective memories. It's hard to quantify why an audience says no thank you to a remake. In some cases, the films are too similar to the original, but there are remakes that take the opposite course and spin off so far from the original film that audiences just don't want to interact. Which of these remakes has already slipped out of your brain? All of them, right?

Besides taking place in high schools and boarding schools, these films share something else: Many went unappreciated upon their initial release and have yet to be reappraised. Every single one of these movies will fill you with school spirit, so vote up the films that you think should make the honor roll.

There's nothing quite like the pain of sitting down in a movie theater and seeing a beloved character totally eat it.

Very Funny Movie Moments

Jokes

Big, broad studio comedies are made for the largest possible audience. To make sure that everyone, from a pre-teen to a grandparent, enjoys themselves, filmmakers often shy away from getting too heady with their jokes. If the audience doesn't get the joke, they won't laugh, and then they won't go home and tell their friends to see the movie. That's why so many studio comedies bonk you over the head with their humor.That doesn't mean every "lowbrow" studio comedy is full of dumb jokes. Many filmmakers at the helm of a broad, silly comedy like to slip in sly references and well-thought-out Easter eggs that only a few members of the audience will really understand. Comedic multi-hyphenates like Mel Brooks, Mike Myers, and Adam Sandler are spectacular at bringing together highbrow and lowbrow art.The following unexpected high-minded references all pop up in huge studio comedies, but which jokes surprised you the most?&nbsp;

At the height of the stranger-danger era, 10-year-old Amy Mihaljevic from Bay Village, OH, was abducted from the Bay Square Shopping Center on October 27, 1989. The details surrounding her disappearance and subsequent murder are a parent's worst nightmare. A stranger convinced Amy that he needed her help buying a present for her mother. When Amy agreed to help, this stranger abducted her, and she was never seen alive again.Amy's body was discovered on the side of a county road on February 8, 1990, and in the three decades since her murder, no arrests have been made, despite the countless hours of man power investigators have put into the search. With at least one seemingly solid suspect, why haven't they made any arrests?The lack of forensic science at the time of Amy's death kept investigators from chasing down any concrete leads, but the case is still going strong today, and law enforcement believes it won't be long until they have a suspect in custody. Here's everything we know about this tragic crime.

On the morning of July 13, 1997, the body of Denise Johnson was discovered inside her burning childhood home in Kill Devil Hills, NC. Emergency responders quickly realized they weren't dealing with a simple arson, but a murder as well. Johnson had suffered multiple stab wounds to the neck on top of smoke inhalation.Investigators believed that this case would be open-and-shut, but it quickly went cold as authorities failed to track down any real leads. For the next two decades, Johnson's family mourned her untimely death without ever finding closure.In 2020, the ClockCatcher podcast began reinvestigating Johnson's death, and rather than stirring up trouble, it reignited her case. While Johnson's murder remains <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-unsolved-murders/ranker-crime">unsolved</a>, her case has gone from fully cold to wide open thanks to a local investigator's efforts.

We live in a world where intellectual property is king, which means year after year, audiences are inundated with reboots and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-movie-remakes-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">remakes of movies</a> that attempt to capture the magic of their original films. Some reboots totally work and others fall flat, but for the filmmakers whose work is being remade, that rarely matters.Regardless of how successful a reboot or remake turns out to be, the actors and directors of the original property are often miffed at what's become of their work. Sometimes their annoyance with a remake has more to do with the lack of reverence for the original than the actual contents of the film, and sometimes they're just ticked off that they weren't more involved.Not all of the following takes are negative. Some of them are actually glowing reviews, but are they all correct? That's for you to decide.

Horror Buff Stuff

Horror movies live and die by their finales. It doesn't matter how well they're set up or how cool/gooey/scary the villain is - if the third act falls apart, then viewers feel cheated. Horror movies with bad or just undeserved endings are a dime a dozen, but the truly interesting horror film endings are those that succeed at eliciting a reaction from viewers.When a horror movie ends by offing the final girl, that's unexpected but probably not controversial. However, when a horror movie ends by telling viewers to check out a website or changing genres in the last 10 minutes, it throws audiences for a loop.A controversial and unexpected ending can be exciting if it's handled well, but in the wrong hands, a wackadoo ending can make the audience feel like they're the butt of a bad joke for giving their time and money to a film that has no intention of giving them any kind of satisfaction.

Quentin Tarantino is known <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/quentin-tarantino-films-small-but-poignant-details/jgu">for films</a> that are both extremely violent and incredibly satisfying.

Ethan Hawke

Ethan Hawke is the absolute best. He's been turning in solid performances since the 1980s in everything from period dramas to pulpy horror movies, and he always performs like he's gunning for an Academy Award. One of the problems with being so consistently fantastic is that many of Hawke's best roles have gone unnoticed.Some of Hawke's best-known roles, such as Jesse in the Before Sunrise trilogy, remain underrated because it seems as though he's not even acting. His craft is more on display in films like The Purge or The Black Phone, where it's clear he's not a serial killer or a guy locked inside his house during a one-night crime-a-thon, but even in those films, Hawke is going above and beyond expectations.All of the following roles played by Hawke are underrated - but which are his best?

Think of the thrill that you get when you see a car flying down the highway with a set of raunchy license plates - and now imagine giving that thrill to other drivers. It’s awesome, right? If you’re still on the fence about the over all radness of inappropriate license plates, take a gander at this list of license plates that you won’t believe made it past the DMV - you'll be forever changedOf all the ways you can customize your car, adding raunchy license plates might be the best. Not only are you showing off your juvenile/awesome sense of humor, but you’re keying in other drivers to the fact that you rule and they drool. Some of the license plates on this list have been recalled, and for good reason, they’ve gone past being raunchy fun and crossed over into the nightmare fuel/racist zone – and nobody likes it when someone takes things that far. But those inappropriate license plates are still included on this list because no one knows how they made it past the DMV.Vote up the raunchiest license plate pictures ever seen, and tell everyone about the hilarious and risque license plate that you managed to pass by the DMV.
