Multiple people went through and downvoted every comment here? This sub is so lame Anyways… Poughkeepsie Tapes is so bad it’s insulting


wowhesliterallyne

I enjoyed that one actually. The acting wasn't anything special but the raw depravity of the killer in the tapes gave the entire film a very unsettling vibe.


FridayJason1993

Ax em. Nothing even compares.


TrancerHunter13

Things 1989 it's definitely bottom of the barrel. (Someone already said Ax'em)


metalyger

I'm glad that Rifftrax did a commentary for it, because that's the only way I could finish the movie.


Speechisanexperiment

Most people who want a bad movie couldn't imagine something as bad as Things. It's a conversation ender. There's lots of bad movies, but nothing even comes close to this one.


TrancerHunter13

Only time I watched it was when The Last Drive-in aired it, and even then it was a struggle


GrimReaperAngelof23

Imaginary and Paranormal Activity 6 are not bad in the slightest. Even though you didn’t like them, doesn’t make them bad.

Winnie The Pooh


wowhesliterallyne

I need to watch this one foresure just to see how bad it really is


triple7freak1

Oh it‘s bad lol


opheophe

It's bad, but it doesn't set out to be anything but bad. The special effects are decent, and the acting isn't bad. The script is dumb, but you already knew it would be. The worst sin of it is that it's not very entertaining at all. It's by no means the worst movie.


Effective_Spite_117

The Banshee Chapter. its almost unwatchable


drcherr

Oasis is of the Zombies… anyone?!


Tallozz

I know I'm going to get blasted for saying this. Troll 2 is the first thing I think of when I see these posts. Some people say it's so bad it's good. I just don't see it.


polchickenpotpie

Why would you get blasted? When people say something is "so bad it's good" they still mean it's bad lol


Tallozz

I posted to a thread very similar to this. I ate a lot of down votes for mentioning Troll 2. One guy in particular was really offended. Some people are rabid supporters of their fandom. lol


MovieDogg

I literally made a post on r/movies about “so bad they’re good movies” that just suck, and someone got mad that people were mentioning stuff like The Room or Samurai Cop for “be boring and not having fun.” It pissed me off, because I hate when people are “like you should just like it ironically” when sometimes you just can’t. 


MovieDogg

I’ve seen people get mad at me for shitting on Pieces. It’s not out of the ordinary 


killerpyro_861

The first 30 min or so is where it's funny, but it soon becomes a chore to watch all the way through. Probably best to just watch a compilation video of the funniest parts.


Fadore

Jeepers Creepers Reborn


opheophe

It's bad, but it has decent acting, and the effects aren't bad... it's the script that it's bad.


Fadore

gonna have to agree to disagree, I don't think there were any redeeming qualities of the movie. (spoliers in links for people who haven't seen it yet) * [This clip shows how bad the camera work was and how bad the creeper's skin looked](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AwXFH6w8is) * The CGI of [this item being thrown](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPb_8407BJ4) was just so poorly done for such a major scene, man that was so badly done. In fact all the outdoors scenes were awful because they were so clearly green-screened - which would have been fine if they bothered to do any post editing so that there clearly wasn't different lighting on the people compared to their supposed surroundings. * acting was mediocre at best - maybe it was made worse by the script, but there wasn't any scenes that stood out to me as having "good" acting to make up for the bad.


opheophe

Mediocre acting still takes it way above all movies with non-existing acting with extremely poor effects For example this one: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqUjN-ylD14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqUjN-ylD14)


TheNorth-WestWinds30

All of those films are shite. It's not really helped by the knowledge that the director of the early ones is a certified nonce, an all.


GrimReaperAngelof23

The first 2 are fantastic. The last 2 are the only bad ones


TheNorth-WestWinds30

Eh, I guess they're not my cuppa tea for this opinion: I would've been more unsettled by the Creeper, if he weren't some demon-thing, and simply a murderous weirdo. I dunno, it's just my take, though.

Return to Salem's Lot. Absolutely no redeeming features.


False-Corner547

Damn you for reminding me it exists!


Buchephalas

It's not the worst ever made as there's actually interesting things like some of the visuals and the music. But my most hated is The Exorcist II, just a complete travesty cash-in. When Blatty and Friedkin refused to take part they should have just left it. Personally, i prefer the way Merrin's death is dealt with in the book with it being made clear Pazuzu didn't kill him, that he's actually pissed that he died and is demanding that Karras heals him so they can finish their battle and he can defeat him. The ambiguous ending in the movie is great too purely for Regan/Pazuzu giggling which is creepy as fuck, as Pazuzu never sounds like a little girl except in that moment which makes it so alien and bonechilling. The movie making it that Pazuzu crushed his hand killing him was fucking awful, just one of countless horrible decisions they clearly didn't understand what they were attempting to continue they just knew it made a lot of money so pumped out an artless studio think tanked product. The actual worst i've seen off the top of my head may be The Final Sacrifice which is best remembered as a MST3K covered movie.


nothingbeast

FUUUD!!!!!


Buchephalas

Is that from the MST3K episode? I honestly can't remember it i saw it like a decade ago. Or is it something else?


nothingbeast

The kid and Rowsdower get away from the cult and end up at an old shack. The kid sees a table and blurts out FUUD! Honestly, The Final Sacrifice is a fantastic MST3K episode. It's a shame YouTube is constantly taking it down.


Buchephalas

lol, i may have to rewatch it. Yeah, MST3K make bad movies super enjoyable so it's hard to look at them properly. However i'm just picturing myself watching it first before i saw MST3K, and thinking of its actual qualities or lack of them.


nothingbeast

In all the years I've watched them, there's only one movie they did that I can watch without the riffs. Teenagers From Outer Space. That one is so delightfully cheesy and fun all on its own. That's definitely my favorite episode.


FanGirl26

ThanksKilling and ThanksKilling 3 are a good start. The "3rd" one is particularly despised by many. Lmao Jack Frost The Killer Snowman 1 & 2 are another infamous pair. Then you got the Gingerdead Man series. Good Lord!!!! Lmao


weightyinspiration

Thankskilling was first to mind for me too! That scene, where she doesn't know it's a turkey behind her, is when I realized what a steamer that movie is. Pretty funny tho.


Aggravating_Ad_4648

House of the Dead [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317676/reference/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317676/reference/) Uwe Boll at his finest


wowhesliterallyne

Oh God does that guy even know how bad his movies are?


Johncurtisreeve

The happening


killerpyro_861

I agree, but I find it to be one of the most unintentionally funny horror movies out there.


wowhesliterallyne

One of m nights worst movies by far! Which is unfortunate because it had a good premise and a great cast but even the acting was bad. I don't think that movie was even meant to be taken seriously though


nothingbeast

I won't presume to give you the "worst ever made" but I'll give you one of the worst I've ever seen. Necropolis: Legion. It's only 62 minutes long but will feel like an eternity because it's actually only 20 minutes of film stretched to the breaking point and then driven around the block a dozen more times. The director says it's a reboot/reinvisioning of 1986's "Necropolis" but all he did was reuse a single character and surround her with meaningless filler that goes nowhere yet takes forever to do so. This movie fails in practically every category in which a movie can be judged. But if you like establishing shots, then, boy howdy, is this your movie. You will see practically nothing else.


Possible_Baboon

Black Christmas 2016, Shadow in the Cloud 2020 Both are complete brainfart.


National-Worry2900

I thought the remake of wicker man was dire. It had big boots to fill but come on. Dire.


LRedLL

Couldn’t finish Plan 9 from Outer Space. Not even as comedy. Ended up fast forwarding through things that looked interesting or funny.


nolwat22

Leprechaun in space. You guys will have a blast with that one


GrimReaperAngelof23

Not a bad movie


Appellion

Pretty much every Torture Porn film out there. Displaying the special effects to realistically display something sadistically gross happening is a major turn off for me in respect. It just shows the filmmaker lacks the talent to actually scare me. Note that I do not include Body Horror in this category.


JamerBr0

Why would you not say something very similar about body horror?


Appellion

Because of the sadistically grossness of it. Something just hits me very differently about it. I love the Thing but I legitimately found Martyrs to be purely nauseous. Admittedly, part of that also has to do with the story and characters, which are something that mostly all Torture porn lacks on.


JamerBr0

I dunno, I absolutely love The Thing but if someone made the argument that showing a dog’s head exploding into a flesh flower or a man’s chest ripping open and chomping another’s arms off was particularly gross and sadistic, I’m not sure I could disagree… I do understand what you’re getting at, I think The Thing is so fantastical that it doesn’t hit close to home in the same way that like Hostel or Human Centipede would, for example. But I don’t think the filmmakers make those flicks for lack of talent. Those movies can be absolutely terrifying and unsettling, and if it’s not for you it’s not for you. It’s not really for me honestly, but I’m not saying that those filmmakers lack talent.


Appellion

Fair enough, and I appreciate the understanding. The root issue for me remains what I described as sadistic grossness, which nauseates me in a way that the Thing does not. Understand I’m not bothered by gore; in The Boys, Homelander crushed one guys head against the wall and torn another guys guts out to slop wetly on the floor. Gore doesn’t bother me, but the handling of it absolutely does.


LRedLL

Loved Martyrs because the storyline and ending though. It’s a solid piece of work. I thought you were talking about August Underground and such. Those are just horrible


opheophe

Why is you being turned on or turned off a good factor for determining the worst movie? *The worst* isn't about whether you like it or not... There are movies that are great for a different audience, great for children etc. Even if I don't like watching Teletubbies I can't call it bad because I understand it's well done in terms of what's appealing to small children. I know I often prefer a bad horror movie over a decent action movie; mostly because the bad horror movie sometimes surprises me with a twist, while the decent action movie sadly never does. A movie can still have good production value, good actors, good special effects or be interesting in some other way.


Appellion

No, determining the best and worst movies absolutely is an opinion. There is no universal criteria or measures for saying a movie is good or bad, which is among the good reasons we have Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic.


opheophe

While I agree that it's to some degree about taste, you can still respect the craft of it. Sometimes the effort that went into something needs to be taken into consideration.

Of more recent bombs, I present Hollow - a Brit FF horror about a killer tree. Yes, the old killer tree. It’s streaming now. Don’t waste your time.


No_Moment6124

Bad horror; Street trash 1987. Although there’s no way psycho 1998 is a bad movie. It’s a shot by shot remake of the Hitchcock classic. It didn’t do well because of that, not because it’s bad. Or maybe you don’t like the original either 🤷🏻😂.


kooeurib

Bro Street Trash is amazing


No_Moment6124

I wanted to like it soooooo bad.


dbprops

The psycho remake is very, very bad actually. Shot for shot doesn’t equal quality performance or even mood. It fails utterly.


No_Moment6124

That’s not entirely accurate. Those aren’t reasons why the movie didn’t do well, and certainly not what it was criticized for.


dbprops

The movie didn’t do well because it’s fucking terrible.


No_Moment6124

What an enlightening criticism🥴.


dbprops

Compared to your ‘nuh uh’ argument it’s pretty inspired in fact.


No_Moment6124

I’m sorry, where exactly, did I make that argument? You’re huffing that copium, bruh


dbprops

Your first comment about psycho. Also ignoring what I said about why it sucks in regards to shot for shot not equaling it being good. You’re terrible at this. And also wrong. Psycho 98 is a soulless recreation that fails in every level compared to the original particularly due to the performances all around and isn’t worth watching whatsoever and absolutely sucks as a movie.


No_Moment6124

Yea that would be a gross oversimplification of what I said. Generally, you can’t reason your way out of a situation that didn’t use reason to get into the situation in the first place, so I won’t even bother. I neither have the time, nor the crayons to spell it out for you.


dbprops

Well if you ignore even my basic argument then don’t know what to tell you. You say that you have reasons that it doesn’t suck and instead of explaining how you say then we must all hate the OG film too. Which at least for me, isn’t the case. You have made no arguments whatsoever. At least I could put even simply why it sucks. Cause it does. It made terribly. It feels terrible. It’s acted beyond terrible. It holds no joy while watching or measures up to the original and just because it’s shot for shot does not make it an equivalent. A lot went wrong w this film and I find zero reasons to laude it let alone even enjoy it in any capacity. Bad movie is bad.

Halloween III: Season of the Witch

Ok season of the witch is a popular movie to hate because Michael Myers wasn't in it. John Carpenter originally intended on the Halloween franchise being an anthology series where each movie would be a different story but because people loved Michael Myers so much season of the witch tanked.

Not a bad movie

It's an hour of watching people sleep with a green filter over the camera lens. It's terrible.


Buchephalas

This is worthless as criticism, you can reduce so many great movies to this. You aren't actually criticising it you're just simplifying it to make it sound bad.


amadeus8711

Nah, it's just bad movie.


Buchephalas

It doesn't matter if it's a good or bad movie, i didn't even give my opinion. Your comment is worthless as criticism either way.


amadeus8711

Sorry you can't handle the truth.


Buchephalas

Sorry you can't formulate proper criticism. Again you don't know what i think of Paranormal Activity. It's not about the movie it's about that simpleton style of "criticism", it's the same thing as saying Lord of the Rings is just people walking around. Says more about the person attempting to criticise than the movie.


MovieDogg

Sorry you can't understand what criticism is.


GrimReaperAngelof23

False


GrimReaperAngelof23

Worst take ever


wowhesliterallyne

I enjoyed the first three installments of PA the rest were whack


GrimReaperAngelof23

None of them are bad


anderoogigwhore

Well my lowest rated ones on letterboxd are The Killing Of A Sacred Deer, The Basement (2017), Satanic (2016), Thankskilling 3, Silent House (2011), Beyond The Black Rainbow, Antichrist, Philosophy Of A Knife, One Missed Call, I Stand Alone, Begotten (1989), Rabid Grannies, Blood Diner, Guinea Pig - Devil's Experiment, Salo, Warlock Moon, Cannibal Girls, Man From Deep River. All them I only gave 1/2\* but I rate more on if I liked them, I'm sure a lot of the sub will disagree and some are technically competent - I just hated everything about them. Actual worst worst is probably Begotten - it's a black and white arthouse mess with no dialogue and a plot you have to look up on Wikipedia cause there's no way you'd get it from the actual film.


BakerYeast

Killing of a Sacred Deer is one of my favorite horror movies.


anderoogigwhore

Yeah I see a lot of praise for it here, knew it'd get me downvotes lol


LRedLL

Salo is horrible, but not in that way. I think it serves its purpose as a work of art. Kind of feel that way about AntiChrist too. Fully agree with Guinea Pig


anderoogigwhore

No I meant it in exactly that way. A bunch of naked people sit around listening to a woman tell a bunch of crappy (pun intended) stories. The 'message of the film' that everyone raves about is so good amounts to "fascists are bad, dem likey da poopoo" and goes no deeper. The only extreme or torturous acts is in the last 10mins and not even that bad. IMO it deserves none of the reverance or awe or respect it is afforded. Old men poop, shock fucking horror.

there are so so many. just hop on imdb and grab some films with a rating of 3 point something

How can there be many? There is only 1 movie that is the worst, at least in any given category.


captain_ghostface

Dead alive is legit good to watch and laugh at with friends Motel hell


opheophe

Dead alive is bad, but it's also epic and deserves respect for that. And despite being bad it's extremely entertaining. This is why it's a cult classic; it's not a candidate for worst movie by any means!


bub-a-lub

Just about all the ones on Tubi and Amazon Prime. I’ve seen the worst ones on those 2 services.


LRedLL

Some of the best movies. Less likely to be Hollywood formulaic. They have some real horror films in there

JayzisOleary

Glad_Speed_9684

**Muck**. Holy shit it was next level trash.


opheophe

Worst in what way? First of all, me liking or not liking a movie isn't a good criteria... I like bad movies... and often I prefer to watch a B-horror over an A-action movie. Several here suggests movies that, while not great, have aspects like good cast, plot, effects etc. I understand that someone might not like **House of 1000 corpses** for example, but it still has decent production value and it's clear that a lot of people enjoys those movies (I personally love that movie) so by any means it can't be the worst. Then we have movies that are truly bad, but somehow managed to become cult classic. **Plan 9 from Outer Space** is tricky in this regard... there's no denying that it's really bad... but it has attained cult status, and that alone makes it interesting... and a movie that is interesting is a lot better than movies that aren't interesting; meaning... it's not the worst movie. **Leprechaun in space** is also interesting... it's bad, we all know it; but it sets out to be bad... it basically aims to be a parody of itself, and it actually does this with style. It's the same with the **Evil Bong** series... they set out to show tits and people being high; the plot is intentionally ridiculous... so even if they by no means are great, they achieve what they strive to achieve, and thus they cannot be the worst... the worst has to be a movie that sets out to be at least decent but fails on every single level. I think The VelociPastor is in this category as well... I thought it was horribly bad.. but I think it's bad by design... Then of course we have the pretentious movies. I personally hated **The outwaters (2022)** and **A field in England** but people either rate these really high or really low, so it's clear that they speak to some people. I personally categorize them as pretentious bullshit where the film makers tries to hard to make something special... but even if I hate them I can't say they are the worst because they seem to succeed in their goal of being pretentious drivel... I would suggest something like... * **Dead Again (2021)** * **The Ouija Experiment 2: Theatre of Death (2014)** * **The Mummy Resurrected (2014)** I can't think of a single redeeming factor in these movies, and I think they actually set out to make decent movies.
