No matter the setting or menace though, Backwoods Horror is wildly compelling, because who doesn't fear being lost in the boonies while death is breathing down your neck?
- There are plenty of Slasher flicks that are technically Backwoods Horror, but we didn't include them here because they got their own list, and there are plenty true Backwoods Horror movies out there that deserve the attention.
- When it comes to Backwoods Horror flicks, we implore you to check out some of the lesser known titles like Frontiere(s), Rabies, or Rovdyr, if you're looking for something "new" and a bit different.
- Also, don't sleep on The Tourist Trap. Truly creepy stuff.
If you're in the mood for a truly quality Backwoods Horror flick, any of the movies in our Top Six will do you right. For our money, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Wolf Creek are probably the best of them, but then again they all bring their own unique and terrifying vision to the Backwoods Sub-Genre, so enjoy them all!







*Most of the links go to Amazon so that you can stream or grab yourself a copy of the movies; our review of the movie (when applicable); or in the case of some of the older & more obscure titles, IMDB, because they simply aren't available to stream or purchase.































You hit the nail on the head(or head with a hammer) with Frontiere(s). I dwell in the deep south and was pleased to see the rest of the world has mutant /redneck/ inbred cannibals. We do have a Piggly Wiggly here though.
ReplyDeleteWe have kin down there, so we agree 100%
DeleteWe prefer Winn Dixie though.
THANK YOU!
DeleteGreat work...For this ultimate horror site!
Sheitan goes up to the tippy top list. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a cool movie :)
DeleteNoooooooooooo!
DeleteThe only way I can rationalise the existence of this P.O.S. is that it's some sort of meta-torture porn flick, with the victim those suckers (like me) who paid to watch.
By the end I was bleeding from the metaphorical arse - but not in a good way. ("There's a 'good way' to bleed from the arse?" you ask? Probably not, but that just shows how irrational I get at the thought of Shitan)
This list doesn't have wrong turn 2 really but u have the piece of shit first one
ReplyDeleteThe first one was the best "movie" of the series. 2 and 4 were fun additions, the rest were shit.
DeleteReally how can u say that the first one felt like a pg 13 horror film where the second one had balls
DeleteHunter's Blood(1986) deserves a spot on this list since it's the most believable plot out of all these films and the movie has everything a fan of the backwoods could ask for.
