"They say Roger Ebert appreciated all kinds of films and always judged films by their own intention and target demographic. That's true, that's what made him special but when you look at it, when it comes to horror films, Roger Ebert was not too easy to please. He rarely gave a horror film his "perfect" 4-star rating and it had to be something like "Halloween" or "The Exorcist" but just check out some slasher you enjoyed from the 80s and the chances are he gave it a negative review. He also strongly disliked "The Tenant", was mostly lukewarm on "American Werewolf in London", and "Scanners" didn't do much for him.
Then again if he didn't always give four stars to them, he enjoyed lots of horror films, some even much less known than the others. Checking out the iconic film critic's reviews leads us to some overlooked gems. Here are ten of the fine horror films Roger Ebert enjoyed."
