Best underground films or obscure films which aren’t mainstream and less talked about. These are what I consider to be true films not aimed at the masses. 

Or if they are aimed at the masses they still maintain that unique feel akin to a classic or hidden gem. 

This list contains films from all genres though you’ll notice that most fall under the horror genre as that genre just so happens to contain most of these hidden gems. Quite a few may also fall under the LGBTQ genre which I noticed happens to have a lot of hidden gems as well.

All of the films on this list contain to a certain degree the X Factor which I look for in films, some more than others. 

Part of what qualifies as X Factor material for me is firstly not censoring and secondly not pushing anything. So there must be a mix of not forcing anything upon the audience but also not withholding anything from the audience.
