Spirit Camp. Since it is a low budget and relatively unknown film I really expected it to be pretty bad but I was surprised.

The acting for the most part is good (bar a few annoying characters), the gore didn't seem awfully over the top and towed the line and the story was pretty damn fun. For a movie I had very little expectations on I really found myself enjoying the film. Definitely one, that others need to see!

I would have to say Human Centipede and My Bloody Valentine. Two films I had 0 expectations walking into, but really enjoyed. Especially Human Centipede...Dieter Laser is AMAZING!

^ I liked that on also underdog but I think it was everything that I kinda expected it to be.

I had very low expectations for Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever but after watching Ti West's The House of the Devil I checked it out and ended up loving this gory little romp!

Jack Brooks Monster Slayer. Thought this was gonna be a kiddie movie and was more than pleasantly surprised with the cast, story and monsters.

Cornered! Really nice little slasher and some quirky characters.

Pulse, the american remake. I thought it has a few really creepy moments and although it was very strange and I think unintentionally funny in some parts I thought it was well made and the atmosphere was great. It just wasn't scary, but I liked it a lot more than it seems a lot of people did.

Probably the counter-example to this topic. I had high expectations for this one and it sucked. Well said "unintentionally funny"!

Laid to Rest, never got through it the first time then I ended up buying it ina pack with a bunch of other horrors and thought to give it another chance because of all the great reviews on here, and I ended it up liking it a lot. really good slasher, nota masterpiece, but very entertaining and gory.

Blair Witch Project (I had heard so much hate on this film, but I really liked it)

I really enjoyed it, but had the opposite experience. I missed out on all the hype and hate, so had no expectationsor preconceptions when I watched it; I thought it was and still is a great horror with a fairly unique angle.

Oh dear god no. I found that one painful to watch! Tho it does get points for Ryan Kwanten
I'll give you the Tattooist (2007) though it simply may be owing to my Oceania/Jason Behr biases...

I liked the movie cause the dolls were really creepy. (one of the dolls remind me of my sister doll when i was 3 and her doll used freak me out so much, she used chase me around the house with the headless doll and then she never ever had doll after that and yet she still blames me for that after 22 years and then i got in horror when i was 6 years old then I scared the hell out of her lol ) and now back to the movie and i really enjoyed the twist at the end of movie, i did not see that coming at all and i like it when the movie shock me like.
