10 More Modern Horror Cult Classics

While others were addicted to Disney+ or Netflix during the streaming wars, I was addicted to Tubi and Amazon Prime. I didn't plan on writing a sequel to 2021's Top 10 Modern Cult Classics, but guess what?

Here we are:

10. Studio 666 (2022)

Dave Grohl can do no wrong. Studio 666 isn't the perfect movie, but the Foo Fighters are a likeable bunch of guys. (In a lot of trouble).

Favorite Review: "When it all comes down to it, Studio 666 is a fun little romp around the demons in the music industry, both literal and metaphorical." - Nightmarish Conjurings

9. Super Hot (2021)

Fell in love with Kandace Kale as the wise-cracking, lesbian next door, pizza delivery girl.

Favorite Review: “Super Hot” has its inspirations close to its chest, combining “Booksmart” with “The Craft” to form this unusual amalgam that works shockingly well. - Cinema Crazed

8. Lake Michigan Monster (2020)

This movie veers from comedy, to PG horror, to experimental, all on a shoestring budget. Easily the most original movie of the last decade.

Favorite Review: "There is a lost art to absolute meaninglessness. Not low-grade nihilism, or arch, "a show about nothing" social commentary, but real, dyed-in-the-wool silliness for silliness' sake. Thank god (or Ogden Nash) for Lake Michigan Monster, a micro-budget, black-and-white whimsical voyage of wonderful waffling." - Austin Chronicle

7. Val (2021)

Not to be confused with the documentary of the same name.

Favorite Review: "Seductively entertaining, Val is a real love-letter to the works of Tim Burton and Sam Raimi, wearing it's weird heart on it's immaculately put together sleeve with pride." - THN

6. #chadgetstheaxe (2022)

I don't know how I was ever convinced to watch this movie. Just from watching the 2 minute preview, I wanted to axe Chad. That's why the movie works.

Favorite Review: "#ChadGetsTheAxe is a tremendous skewering of influencer culture, the temperamental adoration of followers, and reality culture as well as just being a well-crafted horror film." - Lyle's Movie Files 

5. Werewolves Within (2021)

Of all the movies listed, this had the best ensemble cast from top to bottom.

Favorite Review: "(Writer Mishna) Wolff wrote a hilarious, timely, and sometimes scary script based on a video game, and I like it a lot! She and director Josh Ruben broke down my steely resolve against the video game adaptation and have now made me more open-minded in the process." - Film Threat

4. Late Night with the Devil (2023)

Of all the movies on our list, this one actually pulled in the most money at the Amercian box office with $15 million.

Favorite Review: "Destined to be a Halloween staple, Late Night With the Devil hits in all the right places, leaning into the schlock and gore with Dastmalchian holding onto the story’s bleeding heart." - Strong Female Antogonist

3. Hostile Dimensions (2024)

This was a deeply disturbing movie, more of a mindf@#k than a horror film.

Favorite Review: "Hostile Dimensions is quite entertaining, and having a multi-dimensional horror film in mockumentary form is inventive. This is low budget fun in all its glory." - Joe's Horror Reviews

2. One Cut of the Dead (2019)

A horror film in one take....with a surprise twist. Made over 3 billion in receipts worldwide. Dollars? No yen. (About $30 million)

Favorite Review: "As eye-poppingly fresh and startling as Sam Raimi's Evil Dead films were in the 1980s." - Combustible Celluloid

1. Deadstream (2022)

A found footage gem.

Favorite Review: "Very few found footage films delicately balance between humor and horror with such precision like Deadstream." - B Sides and Badlands
