The Lady in White Offers an Underrated Supernatural Mystery

Lady in White - 1988 film

Lady in White might not be as well known among general audiences, but it offers a compelling ghost story nonetheless.

Lady in White favors creeping suspense over gore, which only adds to its charm.

The Devil's Rejects Serves up Plentiful Gore

Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects cast

2005's The Devil's Rejects marks the second installment in Rob Zombie's famed Firefly film series. The film picks up after the events of its precursor, House of 1000 Corpses, as the Firefly family continues their murder spree at a desert motel. The Devil's Rejects is one of the few sequels hailed as superior to the original film, and it certainly showcased Zombie's growth as a director. Since its release, the film has been called "deranged," "sick," and "grisly," all adjectives that perfectly represent what makes Rob Zombie such a hit among genre fans.

The Lords of Salem Sees Rob Zombie Tackle Satan Worshipers

The Lords of Salem joins Shudder's library alongside other Rob Zombie offerings, including the aforementioned The Devil's Rejects and 31. Released in 2012, the film follows the DJ of a radio station as she crosses paths with a coven of Satan worshipers. Set in Salem, Massachusetts, the movie takes cues from the infamous Salem Witch Trials with a very Rob Zombie touch. The Lords of Salem's more limited gore makes it one of Zombie's more retrained films, but it delivers all the expected tropes, such as the director's obvious love of villains over heroes.

The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue Is Hailed as a Hidden Gem

The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue

The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue is a Spanish-Italian zombie film sometimes called Let Sleeping Corpses Lie. Regardless of what it's called, the 1974 film is considered a standout during a decade filled to the brim with zombie fare. It focuses on a pair of hippies who are accused of a series of killings that undoubtedly nod to the Manson family murders. However, as the police close in, it becomes apparent that the real killers are zombies brought to life with ultrasonic radiation. While it might feel familiar to Night of the Living Dead fans, The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue delivers a unique spin on the subgenre and is credited with kickstarting Italy's zombie movie craze in the '80s.

Perfect Blue Delivers a Dark Thriller With Japanese Animation

Directed by the revered Satoshi Kon, 1997's Perfect Blue is a standout in his filmography. The film follows a pop star whose life is plagued by surrounding murders and a mysterious stalker as she leaves the music world behind for acting. Perfect Blue is well-loved by critics and fans alike, as it doesn't shy away from exploring heavy themes like toxic fandoms and the weight of celebrity. The film's influence is far-reaching, extending into American pop culture with films like Requiem for a Dream. As such, Perfect Blue is a must-watch, even for those less familiar with anime.
