For those who love the horror genre, I recommend checking out these overlooked movies:

1. Clown - A loving father becomes a savage killer while wearing a cursed clown costume that won't come off.

2. Man Vs. - Doug Woods, the host of a survival series, heads into a remote forest alone to film an episode. One night, he is awakened by a loud crash, and quickly realizes that he isn't alone. (Think Bear Grylls meets Predator)

3. Viral - Separated from their father, two teenage sisters try to survive an apocalyptic viral outbreak that leads to a quarantine.

4. Spring - An aimless young man takes an impromptu trip to Italy and becomes involved with an alluring genetics student who harbors a transformative secret.

The trailer for spring looks pretty cool. Not too sure about Russ Hanneman's survivorman remake though.

Surprisingly good. Doug from House of Cards is the father in this movie.

I watched Spring a while ago. It's more science fiction than horror. I liked it a lot.

I loved this. Knew nothing about it going in and it is a very different horror film in terms of pacing. I want to check out some of the director's other movies; I've only seen his segment in the third VHS movie and didn't care for it. Spring was really good, however.

Terrorvision is on Prime and I highly recommend it as well. 80's comedy/horror B-movie done so right. Cult Classic.

Have you seen All Hallow's Eve or Terrifier? I'm intrigued, both directed by the same guy and center on the same clown:

I didn't get any Predator vibe...I just got a lot of Bear Grylls and some Blair Witch...(what was that noise?) for 90% of the film.

Some more recs from recent views:

The Axe Murders Of Villisca - On a June night in 1912, eight people -- a mother, father, their four children, and two guests -- were murdered by an axe-wielding killer in the sleepy town of Villisca, Iowa, a case that remains unsolved to this day. More than a century later, Caleb and Denny, two friends who share an interest in ghost hunting, along with Jess -- the new girl in school who already has a reputation -- sneak into the house where the infamous bloodbath occurred in hopes of recording paranormal activity.

Hell House LLC - Five years after 15 people were killed during a haunted house tour, a documentary crew visits the scene to investigate what really happened.

Probably the weakest of all the films in this thread, but it was enjoyable for what it was. It's no where near Predator but I can see the thin comparison.

clown was decent. IIRC, it spawned from a fake trailer eli roth did similar to machete. the new pennywise looks alot like the clown in this movie.
