What is the Absolute Worst Horror Movie You've Ever Seen?

There are different forms of "bad horror movies". One may be a train wreck based solely on nauseating onscreen performances. One may be a steaming pile because it's got the worst special effects you've ever been unfortunate enough to see, while another could induce suicidal thoughts because it's built upon a script your three year old nephew could have written.

My point is, we all conder films awful, for awfully different reasons.

Having just checked out an associates indie film (her name will remain undisclosed for the sake of a few personal relationships), and being severely annoyed with how poorly the picture was assembled, I got to thinking, what is the worst horror film I've ever seen?

After careful thought, I reached my concluon, and in all honesty: it didn't take long to reach this decion.

The ck House Check out what IMDB has to say about the film:

Terror lurks in the old orphanage, beneath a disused London hospital - a Seventeenth Century malevolence, the Plague Doctor, has returned to complete his evil masterpiece...

I kid you not, I still don't know if this is even an accurate (albeit brief) synops of the film. I don't know what the hell it is I watched! I don't want to use the term "plot holes", because that's too kind; "plot nkholes"... yeah, I think that's a better description of the "script".

The cinematography is absolutely mind boggling, for all the wrong reasons, and after a tumultuous editing job you're left with what feels like the most aggresve, terrifying flashback from younger "experimental" days. I thought for a moment I was in a horror film myself while watching this. I panicked at one point as I thought to myself good God, the maker of this film was inspired by Halloween 3 and Scanners

It's a terrible film that not even the sultry Gina Phillips can save.

What is the worst horror movie youve ever seen?

A few years ago i saw "Embrace of the Vampire". Can't say I've seen anything worse nce.. BUT there is a secret treat here, they've gotten a young Alysso Milano to appear topless. Come to think of it, maybe this fact makes the movie an unfit candidate?

I'm one of those guys that can usually find anything good in a movie, no matter what, but some of the absolute worst films I have seen (in the horror genre) are:

H2-Awful. No other word can describe it, without turning this into a full-on rant...

Mother of Tears-Come on, Argento!

Ghoulies-The only ghoulish thing going on here is how many times I yawned.

Grotesque-Remember how messy your locker was in high school? Imagine Grotesque as that locker.

The Video Dead-The acting here is so bad, it doesn't make you laugh. It makes you groan. Loudly. As does the attempted humor. What a shame, because the zombie make-up is fantastic and the premise is great.
ObscureCinema101 Thursday 8/18/2011 at 07:17 PM | 81005
The Devil's Rain. It was just SO bad. It wasn't even bad enough to be funny, just bad enough to be... bad. William Shatner screams like a girl. Ernest Borgnine turns into a goat. And there are melting people everywhere. Just... stupid.

IMO - "Murder Set Pieces"

I honestly don't think it had a plot.

Shrooms, My Soul To Take, and The Hills Run Red are three that immediately come to mind. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. I NEVER stop watching a film half-way through, but these titles all made me want to break my sacred rule.

I'm pretty laid back, and will watch most anything - especially if it's horror....but MR. JINGLES SUCKED BALLS!!!! Funny story though...I bought it used for $4.00, and sold it for $5.00, the guy who bought it - LOVED IT!!! Even funnier, he said that he hoped that a sequel was going to be made!!! So I guess the saying really is true - "To Each His Own."

@bnizzle,

I think you like every horror film.

Hmm, the first one that comes to mind is the Lordi movie.

I don't even remember what it was called.

I went into it thinking, how are they going to fit all these entirely different monsters into the same movie?

And I came out realizing they didn't really, they just threw them in a hospital and hoped it worked.

I honestly have no idea what actually happened in the movie.

Obviously no one here has seen 'Alone in the Dark'.... Nothing good to say about it at all. Unless you're the kind of person that thinks Tara Reid would make an excellent scientist.

I love Babyface! :)I respect your opinion, dude; but i don't have to understand it. haha

Babyface did look cool, and thats the only reason i was even interested.
AgnesItsMeBilly Friday 8/19/2011 at 04:38 AM | 81092
Black X-mas and Night of the Living Dead 3D. I'm sure there have been others, but they aren't coming to mind right now. There's been many disappointments, but not enough to deem as "worst I've ever seen." Yeah though, out of all the random ass horror movies I've had the pleasure or displeasure of seeing, those two just made me angry.
Silverpsycho Friday 8/19/2011 at 05:07 AM | 81093
I was racking my brain trying to think of one and then I saw the post about My Soul to Take and I have to agree with that one. Horrible acting and a plot that made no sense and had no direction. The whole school condor presentation scene had me laughing and thinking WTF. It's like the kids really believed that kid turned into a giant bird. I had to read through the wikipedia entry after watching the movie just to figure out what had just happened and who the characters were.
Ed Reilly Friday 8/19/2011 at 01:36 PM | 81108
My Soul to Take was a terrible flick, but the first 10 minutes were actually pretty awesome - then it falls flat on its face. The strength of the first few scenes alone makes it better than this ck House flick I listed. My Soul To Take is almost a GOOD movie compared to this piece of shit, and believe me, i can't stand My soul to Take lol

Man, I really don't get why everyone rips on My Soul to Take. I mean, obvs, it wasn't anything groundbreaking, but it had it's moments.

i think the fact that those moments were like... two cool sequences in 90 minutes pretty much did the flick in. It was pretty wretched, though I've certainly seen worse.

Hell just about any modern day Tromo flick is worse that My Soul...

The worst horror movie I actually SAW is a tie between Incubus (that just disappointedme) and House of Blood/Chain Reaction (

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460742/ ) that couldn't decide what it wanted to be - slasher? Monster? Vampire? Werewolves? Thriller? Naaaah - let's try to mix it all up! What you get is just... Weird.

The only film I actually gave up watching is Uli Lommels Zodiac Killer. And that I gave up is saying something - I watch movies to the end if only to be able to say I've actually SEEN THE WHOLE MOVIE. I'm stubborn as hell. Just learned the other day that it's actually on the IMDB Bottom 100-list. As I'm writing this, it's at number 25.
Elemjay Friday 8/19/2011 at 10:33 PM | 81143
House of the dead was pretty terrible, Inkubus, The Black Dahlia ( not the Black Dahlia starring Aaron Eckart and Josh Hartnett) is another that is just plain retarded....

Not only the worst Horror film, but the worst film I've even seen in general is by far House of 1000 Corpses

Not only the worst Horror film, but the worst film I've even seen in general is by far House of 1000 Corpses I see where you're going with this. I enjoy the film; but strictly as a guilty pleasure - and even for a guilty pleasure its a serious reach. As much as i'd like to join in with you on this hate parade, the fact is that i've seen boatloads of movies that make 1000 Corpses look like a masterpiece.
AgnesItsMeBilly Saturday 8/20/2011 at 09:46 PM | 81207
That movie was just all over the place with a mess of completely nonsencal bullshit, blatant ripoffs, continuity failure, obnoxious editing, and over the top/unbelievable characters.. I'm still not over how mind numbingly retarded it was.
ubersteigen Saturday 8/20/2011 at 09:57 PM | 81208
I don't know about worst but kudos to whoever put Zombie's H2 in the slideshow box. HAHAHAAHAH!
Dogdays Sunday 8/21/2011 at 12:06 AM | 81216
paranormal activity because that movie put me to sleep 5 times meaning 5 attempts to finish it and after a couple mountain dews later it was not worth it, Halloween 3 season of the witch, mr jingles, leprechaun in the hood, boogeyman, its sad that a straight to dvd sequel was a thousand times better than the original which that's saying alot, Freddy's dead, new nightmare, TCM the next generation ughh.
hm4life Sunday 8/21/2011 at 07:29 PM | 81240
Halloween III: Season of the Witch, The Gingerdead Man, and Basket Case. I just couldn't stay interested in any of these movies... and Gary Busey played the Gingerdead Man in the aforementioned movie, need I say more?
AMadSquirrel21 Sunday 8/21/2011 at 07:58 PM | 81243
Madman (1982) is pretty terrible......and has a cult following precisely for that reason!
hotdog Sunday 8/21/2011 at 09:05 PM | 81248
Drag me to hell....So Sorry to any who enjoyed that movie. But it is BY FAR the WORST piece of shit I have viewed...

So you guys are talking about

Inkubus...As in the Inkubus that Robert Englund was in? Please tell me you aren't. I really wanted like this movie. Hell I wasn't even aware that it was out.
Kiki_Freddy's_girl Sunday 8/21/2011 at 09:16 PM | 81252
Uli Lommel's Diary of a Cannibal. It's on NetFlix's Instant Watch, last I checked. If you have NetFlix and doubt this claim, put it on and clock how long you last.

Shit's slower than molasses put in a freezer tossed in a cryogenic chamber and filmed in slow motion. Plot sounded interesting so I put it on. Two days later (NetFlix claims the flick's shorter, but it lies), I came out the other end and seriously contemplated punching something cute.
steelcorpfilms Sunday 8/21/2011 at 09:45 PM | 81255
Personally I love Halloween III: Season of the Witch but I understand why people don't get the film. If only they knew what they knew now and could have titled it something different.

As for worst horror movies.

Motel Hell is probably the worst film I have seen followed by Craven's My Soul To Take. I had so many expectations for the movie and it feel apart. Many have said it but its true. Not even a film worth watching, that bad.

I hang my head in absolute shame at those who listed H3 Season of the Witch. Such a fucking bad ass movie its ridiculous; to call it the worst horror movie borders on retarded (sorry guys!), literally.

^ Or they just know very little about film. If somebody didn't like Season Of The Witch, i could understand that; but worst movie ever? Thats just plain wrong. I conder it to be my second favorite in the series.

it's just sad, because had they gone with a different name, it would be regarded as one of the finest seasonal pictures in history. People cant get behind the fact that it's a part of the Halloween franchise, and it's as mple as that. :(
Matt_Molgaard Monday 8/22/2011 at 05:16 PM | 81304
Unfortunately I bought this film with out seeing it first and I was super dissapointed by The Howling. It had a few cool scenes sprinkled here and there (The wolf transformation was awesome!) but the movie itself was terrible, especially the ending. What is that? A pomeranian werewolf?

And Asylum, I believe it was called, was pretty damn bad also. I watched Uncle Sam and Pinocchios Revenge and those were pretty bad as well, except for the shower scene in Pinocchios Revenge that just comes out of nowhere!
Sephit Monday 8/22/2011 at 06:27 PM | 81313
Carnivore. Not sure what I was watching, and the cinematography was that of a 70's porno. I really did think the movie was from the 70's (not that that is a bad thing), but imdb informed me it is from 2000. I try to take movie ratings from imdb with a grain of salt, but the 2.3/10 Carnivore received is fitting, if not too generous ha.

and we wont go into remakes. I'll be nice.(:

Seriously. Season of the Witch is an excellent flick that would be regarded higher if it wasn't attached to Halloween. Between the awesome Tom Atkins and the creepy unique concept, it deserves better.

As far as awful films, the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street was abysmal. The whole movie was nothing but "boo" scares, you see Freddy 5 minutes in, and Jackie Earle Haley's talent was completely wasted. Hopefully the director goes back to muc videos and stays there because he doesn't belong in horror.
Cecil Friday 8/26/2011 at 01:24 AM | 81565
interesting take on the new nightmare. I found it extremely creepy at times, and was a bit surprised they didnt go further with the jump scares. There are serious pacing issues in the film, and some character development issues as well but I enjoyed it quite a bit. Love how they incorporated the micro nap angle and shed more light on krueger as a child molester, rather than the slight eluons to the fact that the original offered: for me it made ole Fred far more dis-likable and a bit more nister. Condering the fact that it was Bayers first full length feature, I'd call it a pretty damn successful film debut in all honesty.

I watch REALLY BAD horror movies as a hobby and I find all kinds of comedy gold amidst the badness, so my standards for unwatchable-bad are really exceptionally low. That said my all time worst has got to be Zombie 5 : Killing Birds. The birds did very little actual killing, the zombies don't even show up until the last 20 minutes or so and I'm not even entirely sure why. There is a half hearted attempt to make it a ghost story as well. I have no idea. Its mostly college kids walking through fields and Robert Vaughn(!) you know the Gary Martin Hayes spokesman... I actually watched it twice thinking I had missed some important plot point. Nope. A zombie movie with almost no zombies about killing birds who don't kill. Watch this with people you dislike.

whats that about? I'm not sure I've seen it... Its a slasher fllick. The best way to describe it is If you take The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes, and Joy Ride and put them in

a blender and combine that with the crappiest sex scene ever you would get Monster Man.

Dawn of the Living Dead

I saw this a long time ago and i hardly remember it. What i do remember was a crappy story line about pissed dead native Americans, a few ghosts (not zombies), some woman's husband threatening her all the time with "sending her back to the institution", and some guy wrestling with a baby doll. looked it up today and as it turns out it was first named Evil Grave: curse of the Maya. But i suppose it sucked so badly on its own that they changed the name to trick at least a handful of people into watching it after buying it for 2.00 at the pawn shop.

Really? Paranormal Activity is the worst movie you've ever seen? I'd love to hear what it is that you're watching, it must be one of the most amazing lineups of film in the history of cinematic entertainment.

Condering the fact that it was Bayers first full length feature, I'd call it a pretty damn successful film debut in all honesty.

The best way I can describe it is that it felt like going to see one of your favorite bands play their greatest hits but instead you see some lousy cover band. Every scare in the movie was poorly set up. It was "quiet, quiet, LOUD! quiet, quiet, LOUD!". Really annoying and not at all scary. The icing with all the boo scares was that towards the end of the movie Freddy actually says "Boo!".

I just felt that the whole thing lacked a soul. Even when they revealed that Freddy was indeed guilty, it happened so fast and was shot so poorly, it didn't have any of the gravity that it should have had. Rooney Mara was a terrible Nancy. Katie Casdy at least showed some scream queen chops and she would have been the better choice for the lead. (with her hair dyed brown that is)

The movie had a budget that dwarfed the original, so of course the production value would be higher. However for me at least, the best scares at the ones brought by atmosphere and not effects. Although, the scene where Katie screams in school and everything turns to ash was really sweet.

I will give them credit for making the film R rated, nce so many other horror remakes went the Pg-13 route. It isn't the worst horror movie I've ever seen but it is one of the worst. Boogeyman was really bad. The Hills Have Eyes 2 (the 2007 one) was terrible, which was a shame because I loved the Alexandre Aja remake of the first one. That was how you do a remake right.

It's cool that you liked it, I do know a few people that enjoyed it. It just wasn't my cup of tea.
Cecil Monday 8/29/2011 at 07:57 PM | 81772
I'm going with Hellraiser 3. Not only the worst horror movie I have ever seen, but mply one of the worst films I have seen. I had to force myself to watch the whole thing. I don't really want to rehash its numerous cinematic and logical shortcomings as a) they have already been well-documented elsewhere and b) it frankly makes me angry to even remember any part of this steaming stinkhole.

Anyone who thinks this movie has any redeeming qualities whatsoever needs to see a doctor, immediately. Anyone who actually enjoyed it: don't bother, the tumor has already become inoperable.

Doing some extenve online research- meaning I Googled his name- I found director Anthony Hickcox is part of a family of respected British filmmakers

and (no surprise here) started off as a club promoter in London in the 80's. His Wikipedia page also brags that his "Blockbuster only" efforts 'Submerged' with Steven Seagal and 'Blast!' with Eddie Griffin each grossed 15 million dollars each. Wow.

'Hellraiser 3', and straight-to-video Steven Seagal and Eddie Griffin vehicles. All the juice of his lineage and this is the best this yutz can muster? And yet this no-talent jackwad somehow managed to bag Charlize Theron, Naomi Campbell and Cameron Diaz. What kind of a world do we live in?

Hell on Earth indeed.

When it comes to terribly shitty horror movies, my views are unconventional.

The movie Troll 2, for instance. Completely terrible and absolutely pointless in every cinematic way. It's called Troll 2, yet contains no Trolls at all. The town of Nilbog? Really? lol

And the dialogue was so completely preposterous. An example of this, "There's sandwiches in there for tonight! An' yer supposed to EAT them!". Really? You mean he wasn't supposed to stick 'em up his ass and orchestrate an Air Guitar jam seson?

Now, this movie is completely terrible, but it's always great making your friends t through it. It's like a contagion. It's so bad that you want to make other people experience it. And it seems to get better (with more beer) after each viewing.

I've seen it probably about 22 times now, and I'm still finding new "suckers" that have not heard of it. It's like a 2 hour long practical joke. It fits under a category of horrible movies that you use to torture other people with. They've actually made drinking games from Troll 2 lol.

Now that being said, a lot of new stuff that comes out completely turns me off. Such as "The Last Exorcism". That steaming pile took 2 of genres of horror that I can't stand and put them together into 1 film. By this I mean "Handy-Cam Horror"-"Found archived footage horror" (which is total shit IMO, it's just lly), and it's premise is a total rip-off of a much better movie, "The Wicker Man".

By doing this, even with a fairly small budget, categorizes the director as a "tool bag" in my book, and thus, I'd like to piss all over his movie.
Jonny Sicko Tuesday 8/30/2011 at 01:53 PM | 81852
There really are alot of horrible horror movies out there, many of them are remakes which never turn out real well most of the time, but som stand out even more than some.

I think the worst one would have to be the Friday the 13th remake from 2009.

I mean it just murdered the original it was so bad.

I think it was stupid because of all the crap and lack of actual scariness,

all I

know is it was completely stupid and I really 100% crappy.

This movie called "Mayhem" (or in the States it's called 'Suspended Animation") -

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0271809/

It was one of the most painful films I've ever had to t through.

Rob Zombie's Halloween II is also up there for me too.

Where to begin? I was going to do a list of the worst films and then the worst remakes, but c'mon, that could take forever.

So I condensed it to one list1. Black XMas (2006)

You know when the Star Wars prequels came out and all those whiny bitches said "George Lucas raped my childhood!"?

This movie made me feel the exact same way. 2. My Soul To Take-I'd like to say what the worst part of this piece of shite is, but I have blocked it from my memory 3. Texas Chainsaw Massacre-The Next Generation.

Or as I like to say, the first remake of TCM.

Renee Zellwegger should have her Oscar

taken away just for the memory of this movie. 4. Anything by Rob Zombie, with the exception of the first half of the Halloween remake.

I kinda liked the backstory part. I hate hate hate the rest of his movies. 5. Day of the Dead: Contagium.

After the spot-on remake of Dawn, I can't believe they dropped the ball... 6. Grudge 2.

I'll watch anything with Sarah Michelle Gellar.

This is the movie that made me break my rule about owning anything with her.

The only thing that would have made me buy it is if Michelle Trachtenberg had played her ster here, like on Buffy.

That would have at least been good for a meta-laugh. 7. Friday the 13th (2009)

Michael Bay raped my childhood. 8. Darkness Falls.

Emma Caulfield actually gave me ten bucks when I told her I paid to see her in this movie.

No joke. 9. Gacy.

I am not a big fan of those quickie serial-killer bio flicks. I have Ed Gein in my Netflix queue, and I love Kane Hodder, but I can't imagine him as Gein, so not holding out a lot of hope 10. Jason Goes To Hell.

It pains me to have to put a real Friday the 13th movie on here.

But for the last 20 seconds of this movie, I wouldn't even own it.

That movie "Boogeyman", I never before or nce felt like I had genuinely wasted valuable time of my life on a piece of useless garbage while watching a film.

We Are What We Are is high up on my list.

We Are What We Are is high up on my list.

the cannibal flick? Awesomely creepy movie! I'm actually really surprised ANYONE could conder that a contender for "worst" flick.

I'm gonna say for 2011 so far CREATURE. Sorry to keep beating a dead horse.

Paranormal Activity. Just about anything new pretty much (with a few exceptions).

Liked PA1 - HATED PA2.

I gave up on the movie halfway through because i already knew what was going to happen. (more or less) The only things left for me too focus on for 50 minutes were the awkward line deliveries and still shots of a pool; 'cause i sure as hell wasn't buying into the story, the characters, or the supposed scares.

This is one of those flicks that i just can't figure out how anyone legitimately enjoys.

Redneck Zombies (1989).

I didn't even finish watching it.

Looked like it was shot with a camcorder!

I grew up watching Romero and Fulci so I loved zombie movies.

But nce zombie films have become 'hot' and there have been so many really bad ones, I shudder (and not in a good way) every time I see another trailer for one.

When it comes to terribly shitty horror movies, my views are unconventional.

The movie Troll 2, for instance. Completely terrible and absolutely pointless in every cinematic way. It's called Troll 2, yet contains no Trolls at all. The town of Nilbog? Really? lol

And the dialogue was so completely preposterous. An example of this, "There's sandwiches in there for tonight! An' yer supposed to EAT them!". Really? You mean he wasn't supposed to stick 'em up his ass and orchestrate an Air Guitar jam seson?

Now, this movie is completely terrible, but it's always great making your friends t through it. It's like a contagion. It's so bad that you want to make other people experience it. And it seems to get better (with more beer) after each viewing.

I've seen it probably about 22 times now, and I'm still finding new "suckers" that have not heard of it. It's like a 2 hour long practical joke. It fits under a category of horrible movies that you use to torture other people with. They've actually made drinking games from Troll 2 lol.

Now that being said, a lot of new stuff that comes out completely turns me off. Such as "The Last Exorcism". That steaming pile took 2 of genres of horror that I can't stand and put them together into 1 film. By this I mean "Handy-Cam Horror"-"Found archived footage horror" (which is total shit IMO, it's just lly), and it's premise is a total rip-off of a much better movie, "The Wicker Man".

By doing this, even with a fairly small budget, categorizes the director as a "tool bag" in my book, and thus, I'd like to piss all over his movie.

Troll 2 is a shitty film but its one of those movies you can love when youre with a group of people. But yeah it is actually a horrible movie so I will go with that also.

I fucking Love PA2, so superior to the first film for me it's ridiculous. The setup, wonderfully believable - couldn't ask for a better setup honestly. The acting - quality, for sure. the incluon of the baby - SUPER SUPER CREEPY (having a kid pushes it into a whole new realm). The dog - fucking GREAT addition! Then you have the finale... which was just BRUTAL FUN!

love when the dad is posted up on the couch and he gets it from behind - just awesomeness everywhere there!

I also loved that 99% of the trailer WASNT in the film. It was the exact OPPOTE of what we traditionally get, which is all the good scenes crammed in a 2 minute trailer.

Only film in the last 15 years that actually frightened me a little bit.

I honestly can't figure out how anyone DIDN'T legitimately enjoy this one. Brilliance on film, such a rarity.

Interesting analys of PA2 I must say... I fucking LOVED the first one and I did very much like the second, but I definitely don't agree that it's superior. While I agree that the clever marketing of the film was brilliant in the fact that 99.9% of the trailer and viral videos and clues had nothing to do with the film, the thing that disappointed me most about it was the fact that I went into PA2 really wanting to know what happens AFTER PA1. Instead, we go back and there isn't too much we get except for what we got in the first only in a bigger house with a bigger family on a bigger budget.

Looks like it will be more of the same with PA3 as well, but I don't really mind much, I fucking LOVE this series and I honestly think both films succeed in getting some scares!

I'm not sure if I already posted something on this thread, but I really hated Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Next Generation. It is awful, and I could barely t though it. Its the only one in this series that I didn't love...

Eden Lake - This film defines everything I hate about horror. It's the type of film non-horror fans think exists in every ngle horror film. Films like Eden Lake are mean. Litreally. They are *mean movies*. What is the appeal?

Now folks, I am not some ssy here, mm-kay? And for some cko like me to say this movie goes too far is saying a lot. I've seen some ck stuff before too, but I felt like this movie goes too far. Now if someone had told me what I am telling you now, *I* would be excited to see it because that's the type of guy I am and I am hoping you're better then that. :-) It was a very well made movie and the acting was amazing, but it was the overall story that was the problem. It was just these two poor people being tortured the whole time and that is not entertaining to me. I've seen torture films before, but usually the people at some point not only get away, but even score a few points if you know what I mean.

I was just tting there thinking as I watched this film...."Okay, this has been going on for a while. When are we going to get to the part where the girl escapes and goes Charles Bronson on these people?" - That's usually how most films that play like Eden Lake end up! But this one was going to do it's own thing.

Most horror films I've always enjoyed are either tales of good vs. evil (where good wins), evil vs. evil where usually a deranged killer or the victim kills one or sometimes a group of horrible people (like the ones in Eden Lake), or they are horror comedies. Intentional or not. And they're so campy, you can't take them seriously.

But movies like Eden Lake are too real I guess you could say and I don't need to be reminded of how the world works sometimes - There is violence in the world and there is no justice. Yeah, I get it.

This movie was almost like a Charles Bronson film. Only they showed us the entire flashback of the violent crime and we didn't get to see Bronson with his 44. go shoot some bad guys. Now if they ever make a sequel and that is what the movie is about, I'm so there.

All and all, this movie just showed violence for the sake of violence. It's another one of those movies people.....probably 12-year old boys and people with the minds of 12-year old boys would tell people they enjoyed all just for the shock value they could get out of it.

I am sure some defenders of this film would tell me "I don't get it." - You're damn right I don't get it and I'm proud. I hope I never "get it".

Interesting. I've never seen the movie, but it almost seems like you're saying extreme violence and torture in film is OK as long as the antagonists end up getting killed in the end. Think about the contradiction for a minute.

People want marketable violence. Violence is only marketable if the hero comes out on top.

Michael Haneke did a little masterpiece called "Funny Games". I highly recommend that you see it.

Can't get behind you on this one, though. Ealy one of the worst movies i've ever seen. BTW, Inde, Seson 9, and The Orphanage are the only films that have scared me in the last several years. I was laughing too hard at PA2 to be frightened.

-the Nightmare on Elm Street remake

-Ghosts of Goldfield

-Puppet Master "Axis of Evil"

-House of the Dead (even though the laugh factor on it was pretty high)

-The Unborn

AgnetsMeBilly - I've seen Funny Games U.S., and I conder that also to be a "mean movie". Anyhow, this is just an opinion, but I believe we all come from apes, and we all have it within us to kill. I sometimes think horror films are (among other things) made to fufill the animal within us so we don't go out and hurt anyone. I can admit films sometimes represent a fantasy for me sometimes, and I often find myself enjoying a film more if there is one character I can vicariously live through.

However, Eden Lake was just a nightmare. I can't enjoy violence when it's being commited by some ck kid on a power trip, and he's the only one scoring the big points. I could enjoy it however if that ck kid was the one getting the violence thrown upon him.

It's all a matter of opinion however. I'd say my like dislike for the film is not due to the violence, but more due with the fact that the de I wanted to see scoring the most points wasn't, and that pissed me off.
Zeeboe Monday 10/03/2011 at 09:20 PM | 83739
I saw Murder-Set-Pieces mentioned, and that made me sad. I also saw House of 1000 Corpses mentioned, which also upset me. I do like House of 1000 Corpses, quite a bit. But I like it because I view it as an homage to Tobe Hooper and Dario Argento, with a little twist of early Craven (think the original Last House).

I think it's absolutely ludacris to even allude to Henenlotter in any negative way. He is by far one of the most original directors and all of his ideas have been absurdly creative and original. He's a born and bred New York guy, so maybe that causes some bias for me, but it kills me that I couldn't go see him at Cinema Wasteland this year. For me, anything that is a remake is shit and to be written off before it's even dignified.

But the number one WORST horror film I have ever seen is definitely Slow Torture Puke Chamber. I saw that someone had mentioned Slaughtered Vomit Dolls, which was the first of Lucifer Valentine's vomit gore trilogy, and I had the displeasure of watching all three of them.

I almost couldn't handle Slow Torture Puke Chamber. It was only on the dare of a director friend of mine that I sat through it without paung it. Plain and mple, this was some sort of odd fetish film with no intention other than becoming a controveral viral underground film. It worked.

At first, I wanted to find this guy, cut off his dick, and lodge it in his throat for calling this art, but then the special DVD features happened. When you know who he is and who the people in the films are and what their actual deal is, when you watch the film, it becomes genuinely unsettling because you realize that a lot of the things you're watching are, in fact, real.

Lucifer Valentine partook in incest with his ster for years, and out of that came Satanism and his skewed views of sex and fetishism. The woman who plays Angela Aberdeen in the films was a homeless, ck junkie who Valentine took in, provided he was allowed to film her whenever he wanted to. The scenes of her convulng and vomiting? They're real. Bitch was junkck. She was degrading herself for drugs and a place to live. If you keep that information in mind while you're watching the film, it makes you 57 more flavours uncomfortable than it would have if you went into the film without prior knowledge. True stuff.

I know that I have already posted in this thread but I feel morally compelled to make a correction. The absolute worst movie I have ever seen is The Absence of Light, or more accurately titled, The Absence of Any Redeeming Quality Whatsoever. I figured how could I posbly go wrong with Tom Savini, Michael Berryman and Tony Todd? I was FOOLED! How they got those guys guys to participate in this turd is beyond me. Booze and loose women? Perhaps. I believe it was mostly filmed in a hotel room at a horror convention and someone's living room. The dialogue is ridiculous and everyone sounds like they are reading off cue cards and I can't even talk about the CGI monsters without wanting to commit violence. It looks and sounds like a very low budget porn without BOOBS! When I finished this "movie" my first instinct was to take out the DVD, open my front door and throw it into traffic just to get the bad movie vibes out of my house but I couldn't bear to pay netflix $20 for this steaming pile of whale excrement.

so yeah, I didn't like it.
