Identity – Mind-Bending Thriller or Forgettable Whodunit?
Prepare to have your mind twisted into knots, because this week on Underrated Favorites, we’re diving into the psychological thriller Identity.
This 2003 film, starring John Cusack, Ray Liotta, and Amanda Peet, has all the makings of a tense, classic whodunit: a group of strangers stranded at a motel during a violent storm, mysterious deaths, and a shocking twist. But does Identity stand out as a masterful thriller that keeps you guessing until the end, or does its convoluted plot twist collapse under its own weight?
We’ll take a look at how Identity blends psychological horror with classic murder mystery vibes, discussing whether its twist ending delivers a satisfying payoff or leaves too many unanswered questions. With a talented ensemble cast and a script that toys with the very notion of reality, does this movie deserve more recognition, or is it rightfully forgotten in the shuffle of early 2000s thrillers?
Plus, we’ll debate Identity’s influence on the genre—did it set a standard for the mind-bending mystery, or does it get lost among better-executed psychological thrillers? And as always, we’ll answer the ultimate question: Is Identity an underrated favorite that deserves a second look, or is it a forgettable flop?
Join us for a journey through the twists and turns of Identity, and find out whether this movie leaves you thrilled or just confused.

Time to break out the flashlights and face your deepest fears, because this week on Underrated Favorites, we’re plunging into the pitch-black terror of The Descent.
This 2005 British horror film isn’t just about claustrophobic caving expeditions; it’s about primal fear, survival, and some seriously nasty cave-dwelling creatures. But here’s the question: does The Descent deserve a spot on your horror movie Mount Rushmore, or is it an anxiety-inducing nightmare better left unexplored?
Join us as we delve into what made The Descent such a standout in the horror genre. From its all-female cast of adventurers to the jaw-dropping tension that doesn’t let up, we’ll talk about how this film taps into some of our deepest, most primal fears. But is it all well-earned terror, or does the movie push too far, leaving viewers feeling more uncomfortable than entertained?
Plus, we’ll unpack the film’s ending(s)—yes, plural!—and whether they add to its brilliance or just muddy the waters. And as always, we’ll answer the big question: Is The Descent a hidden gem of modern horror, or does it crawl its way into the flop category?
Strap in, because this episode is going to take you deep—very deep—into the heart of horror.

Grab your Halloween candy and get ready for a trip down memory lane! In this week’s episode of Underrated Favorites, we’re diving into one of the quirkiest, most bizarre Halloween movies of the 90s: Ernest Scared Stupid.
Does this slapstick-fueled, troll-hunting, milk-throwing comedy from the mind of Jim Varney belong in the cult classic section of your spooky season lineup? Or is it just a relic of 90s cheese that’s best left in the bargain bin?
We’ll take a deep dive into what worked (or didn’t) in this family-friendly horror flick. From Ernest’s goofball antics to the surprisingly creepy practical effects, we’ll break down how the film’s unique blend of horror and humor hit (or missed) the mark. We’ll also explore the nostalgic factor: was this a movie that shaped childhood Halloweens, or is it a forgotten footnote in Ernest P. Worrell’s cinematic journey?
And of course, we’ll answer the big question: Is Ernest Scared Stupid an Underrated Favorite or a Certified Flop?
Tune in, grab your wooden doll (maybe leave the milk out), and let’s settle this once and for all!
