It only takes a second to look it up and then people can talk about the film instead this being about you showing off again that you speak Japanese.

FFS, it only took you a second, you look it up lazybones. I wouldn't say I speak Japanese, I'm not fluent anyway. I watched with subs. There was no mention of 'one missed call' .

Leave me alone. . . I'm going to my room.

Worst bun fight ever.

 

[Dubversion]

yeh, pathetic.

come on, let's have some abuse.

Reno - tell him his band are shit.

 

[Dubversion]

oh, and Saw is a contender for worst.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I fucking love saw, it's the best thing ever you cunt. You have no taste and just showing off about how great you are because you watch shit films.


Nah can't do it, saw was utter utter shit.

The Exorcist is a very good film which unfortunately will never have the same impact on a viewer coming to it now as it did at the time. My parents and my parents' friends etc were scared shitless by it, it had a massive impact on a cinema-going generation. Just because it doesn't have the same effect now doesn't make it shit

Sort of the way music has to be judged against the standards of the time it was produced in.

Ok - before anyone goes WTF - I looked up 'The Pulse' on IMDB - either it was so bad it never got the light of day ever again after I saw it, or it has a completely different name - was suppoedly about electrical currents coming through houses and killing occupants... awful in the worst way

I remember it.

It was on ITV a few times.

I remember NOTHING happend during the whole film. Lots of scary music build-up like something was about to happen - then it just cuts to the next bit.

I wouldn't say it was a horror as their was no "horror" in it.

I assumed it was ITV being too happy with their censor sisscors, but no, that was the film.

I'm pretty sure the worst horror film ever was one I worked on as a grip that was so bad it wasn't even released on video. I can't remember the name, but the core 'plot' was something like:

• Massacre years ago in a girls' boarding school
• Reporter convinces survivor to go back for a night with a bunch of other girls
• Surprise surprise a they start ketting knocked off
• ...by a killer in a windcheater...
• ...and night-vision goggles...
• ...and a couple in a vintage auto run out of gas somewhere
• Then oh shock! The killer turns out to be two different people! (five years after Scream FFS)
• One of whom is finally killed in the top of the bell tower

The 'dormitory-on-fire' scene featured a stunt-woman in a blonde wig who was about a foot taller than any of the 'actresses' in the scene.
And much of the cast and crew actually paid to be involved with this piece of dreck
(no not me)

Oh I see it's been reinstated on IMDB: Fallen Angels
Whatever...

There are quite a few watchable films in there and the reason some of them are rated so low is because they are older or foreign films which have only been reviewed by two or three critics who nobody ever has heard of and who happened not to like the film.

 

[liampreston]

I think everyone involved agreed "IT" could have been so much better. Still, clowns scare the life out of me anyway so it worked...

"Saw" and its carbon copycats are dire. But I have had an argument along the lines of "they're supposed to be blah blah" so you can't win really...

Another bad one: Dr. Giggles. Don't know if anyone remembers Benny from LA Law, but this is Benny as a bad guy.

Rotten Tomatoes did a list of the 100 worst movies. I refuse to believe that anything is worse than Battlefield Earth.

I wouldn't say it was a horror as their was no "horror" in it.

Thats how I remember it too. Thank god, I thought I had just imagined it, which would be far worse...
BTW Dick Smith who created the prosthetic makeup for the Exorcist used to keep the dummy of linda blair in his basement workshop that popped up and did the headspinning thing to freak new visitors out like some derranged jack in the box I do think it was a good horror for its time, even if a little over rated these days.

 

[intrikat]

Hopefully you're not including Hellraiser with that though. Loved that movie - twas a classic.

I loved hellraiser, at least it was horror! was one of the first movies CB was involved with script rather than letting someone else massacre his books to film I also quite liked Cabal which became Nightbreed not very scary but style over substance looked quite good
ps sorry about last before post was repeating myself and ended up with a grr...

True.

I remember being a child and my mam being scared shitless by that film, much to the amusement of my stepdad.

 

[stereotypical]

I like both Saw (the third one is great) and Killer Clowns (although KC is pretty laughable).

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Leatherface is pretty shat as is the Next Generation one. Some of the newer ones are ok though.

I seem to remember a film called 'Slugs' being pretty crap. Oh yeah and Halloween 3 was absolute toss aswell.

Yep and it made Mike Oldfield and that is still scary!

I watched Red Eye last night.

Horror? No

Tension? No

Good? No

Utter utter utter shit? Yes, in spades.



I had to watch that Dr Who episode where Adric dies to chear myself up.

Kind of odd to criticise a film that isn't supposed to be a horror film for failing as a horror film and then discuss it in a thread about bad horror films. I thought it was a well acted and well directed little thriller in the tradition of a 40's ot 50's B-movie. Nothing too amazing, but fine for what it is.

A Agree (apart from it being good in any way)
Said 'horror' on the box and it was in the horror section. The Box says something about Wes Craven bringing something new to horror in the scream tradition on the back. I agree that is wasn't horrific in any sense but that's how it was billed to me so don't blame me.

Please stop pompously picking on everything I write.

I saw The Exorcist for the first time when it was back in teh cinema a few years back. I could not hold in my snorts and laughs.

Don't flatter yourself, I really don't have the time or interest in picking apart "everything you write", I just beg to disagree about this film. If my using vocabulary that goes beyond "shit" or "crap" is being pompous then that's fine by me.

See what I mean.

Is that the one with the giant worms burrowing up from the ground to eat people?
