Worst horror films ever? - Page 2

Sorry, I absolutely hated that movie. It was just not my kind of film. I like ones with a story and a sense of some intelligence. wink

Forsaken-Not even Ryan from Orgy could save it.

"Careful you don't shoot your dick off!"

Only good part of the movie.

Phantom of the Paradise-Love/Hate relationship: Love Glam Rock and Jessica Harper, hate the rest of it..... (And I'm embarassed to admit I have the DVD...I'm still reeling from what a twisted movie it was...)

Blade-My friend and I walked out on it.

Horror 101-The ending was just BAD. And the suspense was literally terrible.

Can't think of anything that's "so bad it's good" but one of the worst films in my opinion has to be Puppet Master. I forced myself to sit through it even though I got it from the library and didn't have to pay a dime to see it.

Yeah, I know. My own fault.

I'm with Dee Snider on this one. It's a fucking doll! Step on the sonofabitch!

As you probably guessed, I'm not a big fan of Child's Play either.

Just one man's opinion.

1. Waxworks
2. Scream 3 (or any of the Scream movies)
3. Queen of the Damned (Interview with the vampire was SO much better. Queen of the damned didnt have its story right).

I read through this entire thread just to make sure I wasn't double posting here (that, and I have nothing better do do ) Anyways, there's been one blaring omission from the "So Bad It's Bad" pile...

The original Sleepaway Camp.

I'm not sure how anyone can like this film. I'm all for cheesy summer-slasher fun, hell, I even like Cheerleader Camp (Leif Garret baby!), but this vile bag of shit should be banned for sucking so bad. 10 seconds of shock at the end of an awful film does not make up for it. And what's with all the sausage flying around (if you know what I'm saying) Sorry, it's just not my bag.

It does get props however for having the best sequel EVER.

Well see, this is all threads like this illustrate. Some of the ones people call stinkers I love, and some that people say were great I thought were total crap. And this is always going to happen.

What have I learned? Ryan likes Halloween H2O, and I couldn't agree more, but many others here just hated it. I respect the hell out of Bill Johnsons work, and really like his input to discussions on this board, but we are almost polar opposites in what we consider good horror. I prefer a more visceral red tinted fare it seems, and he likes lighter ghost type stories.

BOTH are good.

But I think threads like this really just rehash differences. Unlike the Thing, which we can all agree was a great movie, there are no films we can all agree were completely bad. Well, except maybe Fear.Com and Darkness Falls. But I guess I just feel these threads kinda go in circles and never say anything new.

Nevermind me, I am just rambling....

Worst film EVER!!!

Alien 2!!!

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not talking Cameron's 'Aliens'....I'm talking the cheap Italian Knock-off from 1980 (and I actually watched this in the CINEMA for Christssake!!)

This film has NO redeeming features; also known as 'Alien Terror' and 'Alien 2 è sulla terra (1980)'

Alien 2: On Earth (1980) (USA)

Film starts with 8 spelunkers who encounter an alien rock...which reacts like the eggs in 'Alien', the one money-shot in this was a creature erupting from some guys head...and THAT was crap...and the only horror film I know of that sets it's final act in a ...in a...BOWLING ALLEY!!!!

Horrid stuff!!!

Rosemary's Baby improves if you watch it as an adult.

So bad it's bad,

Jack-O

So bad it's good Night of the Demons 3.

The Blair Witch Project comes to mind...

I think people are being a little unfair on such genre fare as Spiders and Shark Attack. Looking at them as what they are, which is for all intensive purposes modern-day B-movies, and aren't supposed to be taken as these extreme forays into real horror. They're cheap, nasty and knocked off incredibly quickly, and are basic monster movies akin to Them, never meant to compete with some of the more serious genre entries that could be classed as bad movies, i.e. Exorcist II, The Haunting, and the aforementioned Blair Witch Project...

Just Plain Bad:

• <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The Haunting (1999)
• <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Halloween 3 (what the hell was this?
• <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The Others (I know a lot of people really liked this movie, I was completely bored, not to mention disappointed!)
• <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Vampires 2 (the first was bad enough where did a sequel come from?)
• <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">feardotcom

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Bad but funny:

• <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Child's Play
• <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Squirm (killer worms, kinda funny)
• <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Night of the Creeps (failry cheesy but fun to watch anyway)

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">

I saw an interview about John Carpenter and they were raving that Last House on the Left was the "scariest movie of all time". I HAD to see it so I ended up buying it because they don't carry it where I rent movies. I forgot to put it on my list, but this movie was completely horrible! Pieces was cool when I was a kid!

"Jason X" was a total pile of shit ... although still better than "Soul Survivors", and that isn't saying very much

- Mike.

Did I already say Signs or The Sixth Sense or Scream or Nightmare City???

Am I beating a dead horse???

Cabin Fever's up there.

Huh?

Really? I thought it was so bad it sucked ... even the comedy was a pile of dump. Worse movie ever!

- Mike.

I absolutely hated The Others. Laughed all the way through it, it was just awful.

Hehe, this topic is just plain fun. Thank God I haven't seen most of the "movies" mentioned, but that's just because you guys go about making fun of, not b-movies, but friggin' z-movies. Of course most of them suck! They're not even "horror" movies. But it's fun making fun of them, I guess. Critizable are only the ones like Jason X, The Haunting and shit like that... overbudgeted b-movies trying to be a-movies, that's far more shitty to me, than some "straight to the video" film where we at least know what to expect. But that's just my opinion.
And okay, I do have a wannabe "member" in the worst horror movie club, not yet mentioned before. Try Sometimes they come back... for more (Sometimes they come back 3). Or better yet, DON'T!

I like Storm of the Century and The Green Mile too damn it!!

I agree though...King does not adapt well at ALL.

Darkness Falls is the worst horror film and almost the worst film in general ever made......or should it be Bones???

Originally stated by mrstiffie:
Actually, I had no problems with Stand By Me or Misery, either.

originally posted by Daymare:
Yeah, the hype and advertising for films like this make it much more of a disappointment. For me, the worst in this category was Anaconda. Jennifer Lopez, John Voight (I ranted about him in <a href="http://chud.com/board/ubbhtml/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=29;t=000903" target="_blank">here</a>, somewhere), Eric Stolz, Luke Wilson, Ice Cube. And what do we get? A CGI snake attacking a stuffed panther, and John Voight embarrasing himself all over the place. (Really, was he playing someone mean and nasty, or someone who really, really had to take a dump but wouldn't until he found a real working toilet? I honestly couldn't tell.)

Anyway... the distinction is between "so bad they're bad" and "so bad they're good." I saw a great shot-on-video, straight-to-video one called Doom Asylum that I would buy in a heartbeat because the acting was so funny and the plotting so clunky that I laughed all the way through. Plus I think they had Lucy and Ethel doing the special effects. But you couldn't get me to take Anaconda or The Haunting (again, the '99 version) for free. The potential for "what could have been" is so glaring in these it makes the film that's there feel like popping a chocolate candy and discovering the thing's filled with spinach-butter or some damn thing.

Whatever. I notice no one took up my challenge to watch The Majorettes. Can't say's I blame you. You've all saved yourself a killer headache.

Edited to say: "I so happy! 'Dis my hundredth babble!"

Dear God, definitely the wise choice everybody! Saw it months ago, and you can slap it onto my previous list...

I'm about to watch "El Chupacabra" and "Miner's Massacre." When will I ever learn?

Please, please, don't watch Chupacabra.

Whoa, you mean the one with Treach? I heard "Legend of the Chupacabra" bites it, so I've avoided. "El Chupacabra" does look pretty bad, why is their a trailer for the movie on the tape featuring itself?

Another "so bad it's good and I would buy it in a heartbeat":

The Convent

I had so much fun watching that movie, it should have been a crime. And the people making it seemed to be having the same kind of fun I was, so that made it just one big party.

Except that I was alone...in my underwear... eek!

Anybody scene a piece of shit called The Video Dead?.

I'll probably get alot of shit for saying this on a horror board but I hate Dario Argento's films.

Andy Warhol's Dracula made me lose the will to live.

I actually see nothing unintentionally bad about The Convent, a picture that truly and sensibly revels in, yet elevates itself above through sheer ebullience, its surprisingly reverential B-movie roots.

Just remembered another festering wart on my psyche: William Fruet's Killer Party with Paul Bartel. Would be inconceivably bad if it weren't incomprehensibly made...mildly diverting but in a real Helen-Keller-beseiges-the-editing-bay fashion...

Not get Argento's picture ? Fine. Think they're the "worst" ever made ? Hmmm....

Why all the hate for Carpenter's Vampires?

Just curious, as it seems to pop up a lot here...

But that would mean Suspiria, and that would therefore mean I'd have to hunt you down and kill you with barbed wire.

As for Vampires, I haven't seen it but the other day I caught Vampires: Los Muertos, which, as Jon Bon Jovi vampire hunter movies go, was still fucking awful, but bad enough to make it entertaining.

But that would mean Suspiria, and that would therefore mean I'd have to hunt you down and kill you with barbed wire. Granted Suspiria is the pick of the bunch,but do you like The Bird With The Crystal Plumage?.

Sure. I think all Argento's have something to like in them. Even his weird later fare like The Stendhal Syndrome.

Butane, keep it down with your Sleepless dissent, man...

Did you know that Udo Kier was being considered for a role in "Van Helsing"? Thank God it didn't work out.....

Of course, seeing him in drag is VERY disturbing.

I'm glad that Kier wont be in Van helsing,the guy has a creepy presence about him but his acting ability is marginal to say the least.

Warhol's Flesh For Frankenstein was crap aswell,how about this line from Kier spoken in a German accent "To Understand life you must first fuck ze gall bladder!."

Never thought I'd see the day when Udo Kier gets hate...

******sigh******

... he once was creepy and cool, but now all he can do is fool women with fucked up eyes into thinking that he is Tom Jones ...

<img src="http://images.hollywood.com/images/384856.jpg" alt="" />

Wow, I woke up this morning thinking about how screwed up Warhol's Frankenstein was and now I see you guys chatting about it. Was Keir the bartender in Barb Wire? I only caught a couple of bits of it.

I saw a couple of mentions for Blood Beach and Pieces . I saw these two classics in the theater - boy that dates me.

Can highly recommend Pieces as classic crap. Much much silliness, including a scene where your standard bikini clad victim is running through a deserted college campus because she thinks she's being chased. She runs into an elevator and before the doors can close, someone comes in. That someone is wearing an overcoat, hat, and a scarf and is hiding a chainsaw behind his back. The woman's comment? "Oh, it's you."

Many other classic scenes ensue, including an incredible, non-sequitur ending.

-Sandy (Christopher George died of a heart attack soon after its release, but I bet it was more from embarrasment)

Pieces is very, very bad, but you have to watch the whole thing just for the classically awful scenes. Not just the ones mentioned above, but the opening with the kid putting together the jigsaw puzzle (how come I could never find puzzles like that at Wal-Mart?) and the pool scene that shows at least 2 reasons that I'm a fan of late 70s/early 80s horror.

And that ending...non-sequitur is putting it lightly. It's truly amazing.

You can get the dvd for less than $7 most places (and in some even cheaper than that...check eBay). And I have. wink

"Rock n' Roll Nightmare" (aka "The Edge of Hell")--Thor returns in his ultimate
vanity piece: a Deserted farmhouse, bloodthirsty sock-puppet demons, bad
80's hair metal, spectacular, quotable dialogue, copius amounts of eye
shadow, and Satan himself combine in a cinematic tour de force that can only
have come from Toronto, "Where its happenning." Look for it, you won't be
dissapointed.

DUDE!!!!!

Last winter this movie played at a midnight movie theatre here is Boston and immediatly following the movie- THOR played a 45 minute set in the theatre (Coolidge for you Bostonians!)....It was frikkin GREAT!- He had the armor on and all of the band members (including a really spooky chick bass player) were dressed to the 9s with the theme. He honestly didn't sound bad for being like 72 now. Still pretty jacked for an old guy as well.
But yeah- Alot of fun to be had that night provided by the Hammer of THOR!...

Later
Tony D

BLOODY MURDER, like I always scream, is THE worst ever! It makes steaming piles like THEY and DARKNESS FALLS seem appetizing.
