The Eight Best Underground Horror Movies To Scare The Crap Out Of You This Halloween
Sleep tight.
Of Unknown Origin (1983)
It seems every animal has a horror movie about it. Hell, even beavers got their turn with the schlocky Zombeavers (2014). But in Of Unknown Origin it is one helluva big feral rat that gets its day in the sun as the icky, buck-toothed creature find creative ways to torment a homeowner while his wife and child are out of town. It’s basically Mouse Hunt (1997) meets Jaws (1975), and has the greatest use of birthday cake you’ve ever seen.
Directed by George P. Cosmatos
