horror movies you thought were going to be terrible but turned out enjoyable,any year
I've been noticing that most horror movies that I have watched and liked are the movies that I either laugh and say they aren't scary or I think to myself that they aren't worth watching because they are probably terrible! for example the movie "The Stuff" I laughed at after reading it's review but it turned out be more disturbing than perhaps any horror film I've watched! A movie I really thought would be terrible was"Amusement"but it turned out to be a horror film I like to watch again and again because it's twisted and very scary! Anyone else got horror films in your head that you thought would be terrible but,after watching them you liked them,(for whatever reason)? Also their is no year restriction for this thread but,your movies must be horror films,yes,that even means godzilla,the spiral,or even a very rare film that noone has heard of,or is foreign!

I really liked Wake Wood for it's distinctly British classic horror characteristics but it was badly slated.
The antithesis of this, for me , is Black Swan. Not great, to be honest.

Oh man good thread idea.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning: I hated the remake of the original so i thought i would hate the prequel to it as well but that one was really good. Not as good as the original movie but much better then the remake. 28 Weeks Later: I hated 28 Days Later but really enjoyed the sequel. Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon: The first time i saw the trailer for this one i wasnt that interested, it just seemed boring but then i started to hear a lot of good things about it and decided to watch it and loved it.

Severance cos I knew it would have very unlikeable characters in and I was right but I was wrong in thinking the film would be trash I actually liked it.

The Exorcist III is one of my favourites but never gets any credit. Again, it's probably a victim of being in it's big brother's shadow. Kind of like all of Shymalan's movies subsequent to 6th Sense.

Ogre-wasn't as bad as I was expecting and actually quite good if you think about it-the cheap CGI of the Ogre was atrocious though

The Killer Nun (1978) I expected this to be complete nunsploitation and it didnt disappoint however it had substance to it which did surprise me.
