13 Good Horror Movies That Got Rotten Reviews

It's a struggle to get mainstream critics to see horror films for what they are: an escape from reality and a source of entertainment. While some genre film offerings are more profound than others, lack of subtext isn't a valid reason to write a film off as insignificant. If a picture is smartly paced, entertaining, and does what it has set out to do, there's no discernible reason the feature should be brutally attacked by critics....
Not every horror picture can be Psycho or The Shining, but that doesn't mean that each title shouldn't be evaluated on its own merits. Every horror film deserves the same thoughtful and unbiased analysis that any other feature would receive. In defense of some of our favorite horror titles that have been unduly lambasted by mainstream critics, we are bringing you 13 great horror titles that received rotten reviews.
