It's time again, the Underrated Film Awards are back! While putting together my list for the second year of these awards, I once again found myself questioning "what does underrated mean?" Now if you look at some of these nominees, you may say well they had good reviews/were rated highly. Most of them were, but underrated doesn't mean bad films/campy films people now all of a sudden deem good like White House Down, or Pain and Gain. Sorry to be a hater.
This years list of nominees in the film category includes two sci-fi films that embrace genre stereotypes, but push the envelope, an interesting twist on zombies, a tale of a porn obsessed young lad, a coming of age summer camp story, and of course the end of the world.
