As a lifelong Disney fan, it really bothers me when great movies get overlooked. There are a few that, for whatever reason – maybe the timing wasn’t right, or they just didn’t get the promotion they deserved – never really found their audience. I’ve been thinking about five of them lately, and I honestly believe they deserve a fresh look. They’re all really interesting films – a bit different and unique – and I think they could become cult classics, especially now that streaming gives them a chance to reach a whole new generation of viewers.
While many people think The Blair Witch Project started the trend of “found footage” movies, that honor actually belongs to Cannibal Holocaust, released in 1980 – almost two decades earlier. The reason Blair Witch became a huge success while Cannibal Holocaust remains relatively unknown is disturbing. Director Ruggero Deodato filmed the actual deaths of seven animals on screen, including a coati, turtle, monkeys, a tarantula, a snake, and a pig, which was shot at close range. This led to animal cruelty charges and even the arrest of Deodato, as some viewers believed actors had been killed for real. He was later cleared when he proved the actors were alive. Unsurprisingly, Cannibal Holocaust was banned in many countries, but it has since developed a controversial, though dedicated, fanbase and is now recognized by some as the true originator of the found footage horror genre.

Haunted by her experiences, Thana becomes convinced that danger lurks around every corner and decides to take matters into her own hands, arming herself with a .45 caliber pistol.

That’s more money than some small countries see in a lifetime! 🎉 They’re making a profit margin of 99%! It’s enough to make your eyes water, it is.

Demi Lovato has said she wishes she’d spent more time supporting her younger sister, Madison De La Garza, while Madison was acting on Desperate Housewives between 2008 and 2012, playing Eva Longoria’s daughter. Lovato feels she was too focused on her own career with Disney at the time.
Netflix’s Marianne had a lot of potential. The French horror series begins with an interesting idea – a horror novelist returns to her hometown after a friend takes their own life – though it’s a setup we’ve seen before. However, it quickly moves beyond a simple psychological thriller. The main character, Emma Larsimon, realizes the terrifying witch she invented in her books might actually exist. Once the show fully embraces this idea, it’s genuinely frightening, blurring the lines between what’s real and what’s imagined and creating a truly unsettling, personal horror experience.
