Write Off This Cheesy 1980s Horror With 29% On Rotten Tomatoes At Your Peril - It's Actually Kind Of Great

Horror movies are perhaps the most subjective genre in all cinema, but there is a 1980s cult classic that actually deserves more praise than it gets. Though horror was always a staple of cinema from the beginning, it exploded in popularity in the 1980s with the rise of home video technology. The film industry was then able to reach a bigger audience, and wasn't reliant on box office numbers to turn a profit. However, this also meant that many great movies went unseen, and has led to the modern-day trend of declaring every unpopular horror flick a "cult classic".
