I really need to think to complete the list of Five...but I know that both Cabin Fever and House of The Dead will be on it somewhere.... theres more suckage in those two movies than all the whorehouses in Nevada combined....but at least in Cabin Fever, you knew going in that no one in it could act..... House of The Dead was so unbelievably horrible on the acting front that Jurgen Prochnow came across as Oscar winning.

yeah...I'm pissed at those movies......

ChEEbA 01-21-2005 09:06 PM

It's funny, when I was cruising ebay for zombie movies on ebay, there's all these desperate people trying to sell copies at $1 starting bids, billing it as a "must own movie for all zombie fans"...
I've not yet seen it, nor have I ever wanted to.

ClassicHorror 01-22-2005 05:36 AM

A couple of people commited suicide after Manos was filmed.

worst movies!!
 
1. Fear Dot Com (easy winner)
2. House of the Dead
3. Dreamcatcher
4. Jeeper Creepers 2
5. The Last House on the Left .... I know im gonna get some flack for this but sheesh, what do you like about this crap?? The Plot was horrible (parents get revenge?! what the), the cops were stupid, the acting was pathetic and the rape scenes were kinda lame and grotesque. The convicts had no personality as well.

*** In defense to all who hated ghost ship and 13 ghosts, I liked em both. Plots were good and special effects were great.

Please, Fear Dot Com is by far the best Horror movie, you have to have a classic in there, those are all after 2000. You cant tell me your a horror fan.

BH14 01-22-2005 02:26 PM

i have over 80 good horror movies by the way..... those are the movies that i recently seen within the past few years and fresh in my head.... Fear Dot Com is the worst movie ever. You must be the director. Why should I remember classic "horrible" horror movies from 20 years ago? That doesnt make sense. I want to remember the good ones. I want to forget crap like Fear Dot Com and House of the Dead. No offense to your favorite "horror movies" like Escape from NY and Fear Dot Com.

Are you sure that The Last House on the Left was made after 2000??

Nemesis412 01-22-2005 03:25 PM

Mike dude what happened. I mean your still cool, and if you like FDC thats cool but......I sense some sarcasm in there.....phew thanks to my knowledge that you think Halloween is the best ever.....whiah good thing i caught myself.

There is NO way anybody could like that movie besides....as BH said.....the director. sucked MAJOR MUNKEY NUTZ

slasherman 01-24-2005 07:20 AM

Add "The Village" to the list...its pure shit...some good acting but thats about it....

Gojira 01-24-2005 08:08 AM

LOL LOL hey Classic where did you hear that a couple of people comitted suicide after seen Manos of Fate? LOL LOL that sounds 100% bogus. Hey maybe it was the director after making such a bad movie he couldnt handle it lol.

ClassicHorror 01-24-2005 01:43 PM

Why do you think its bogus, the did, just go see their tombstones if you don't believe me, its a TRUE FACT.

ClassicHorror 01-24-2005 01:44 PM

Those 3 people were part of the cast and crew.

Saying you thought 13 ghosts was good automatically renders the above opinion worthless.

it wasnt a great movie but there were some great visuals ..

thats the thing about that particular film team ...
Great visuals but too many dumb elements to let you enjoy the whole film

BH14 01-24-2005 02:22 PM

Im just saying 13 ghosts had some nice special effects and kept me more interested than The Last Houst on the Left. And everyone killed 13 ghosts. It wouldnt rank in my top 200 movies but I found it better than TLHOTL. I have these movies on DVD because there was hype on TLHOTL but I was disappointed with TLHOTL. You may like TLHOTL plot, the police officers may have been funny to you, and you may have though the convicts had character (which they didnt). And you may have loved the raped scenes. Why does everyone feel like they have to like certain movies bc it is a "classic" or whatever?!

You don't have to follow popular opinion (or in the case of this movie, minority opinion), but if you feel genuine distaste for the rape scenes and cold ugliness of the characters and take the daft comedy cops too seriously, then it's unlikely you'll find anything else important about The Last House on the Left.

Like many dubious pleasures, the movie is not so much entertaining as it is morbidly curious - this quality is more than enough for many horror fans (the more jaded the better), but is bound to leave others none-the-wiser about a sadistic double murder and its retribution.

TheOmen 01-24-2005 06:19 PM

TLHOTL is absolutely a revolting film...I can think of no reason to watch it more than twice. Yet that's why I think it succeeds. Look at the subject matter-rape, power,class struggle/structure, and the parents pushed too far until they finally break. It was meant to be gritty, disgusting and exploititive, and it achieves these goals with flying colors. For that alone, I give it high marks, whereas eye candy like 13 Ghosts(which I didn't think were mind blowing anyway) just makes me bored to tears.

Gojira 01-24-2005 06:47 PM

Hey Classic those movie crew people really died I thought you had read some bogus story and here I was making a joke about how bad Manos was and the director offing himself. WOW I dont understand how anyone would kill themselves because of a movie thats pretty dumb. As far as there being 5 worst horror movies hmm let me think ok I am going to get alot of flack on this but I really really thought TCM in 1974 was bad. It really baffles me why some fans enjoy it though. Sometimes I just want to pull my hair when fans say they like it. Jesse James vs. Dracula is pretty bad. Manos of fate and I am going to say Godzilla vs. Megalon and lets not forget BlairWitch Project. One could just list all the Chucky movies but those arnt horror those are comedys right?

Might not have been the best acting, but Krug was a great villain. Movies should have taken more advantage of carving ones name into their victem's chest while they could still get away with it

This quote really baffles me. What's not to like? TCM is just fucking intense for the last 30 minutes.....no other film comes close to capturing the anxiety I get from watching Leatherface chasing the last girl through the woods and through the house.

ClassicHorror 01-25-2005 02:17 PM

Blair Witch Project is not a bad movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a very original and great atmospheric piece of independent filmmaking. And Gojira I stated the reasons why I like TCM did you not see them?

You wanna hear the reasons why I like Blair Witch Project?

Blair Witch Project was made to keep you thinking that what you see before yourself is actually the final days of 2 guys and one girls life. THIS.....killed off the teeny bopper crap that was swallowing the 90's by whole. This was giving the movie industry a new look on realistic movies. Its made on almost NO budget, its all about blood, sweat, and tears in this film. Its craftsmanship is amazing, it carries itself off so normally you'd think you weren't watching a horror film, but slowly scene by scene it starts to get tense...you see the madness sorounding these individuals...you see their nerves slowly rising as one by one they start to argue with each other.
I have to admit that this is one of the only films that sent shivers down my spine. That confession scene..you see this individual throwing herself out in front of the camera, you see the terror in her eyes as she looks back and forth, you start to hear her breathing getting higher and higher...you start to realize that she is out of her mind in shock. That final scene is what makes this film a highlight, you hear her screams as she runs around the house, those ear piercing screams that are but ending slowly.....as you see the guy in the corner...just like in the stories....there's a huge moral to this story.......you start taking advantage of the unknown...and YOU become the unknown....

Gojira 01-25-2005 02:29 PM

LOL Hi Omen try and understand when I saw TCM the movie just did not seem intense to me it was just a boring movie I went to see TCM in hopes of watching some guy just hack up alot of people and thats not what happens in the movie. I can tell you this much about TCM back in 1974 the people who saw it had 2 opinions about the movie on one hand some say it was great very scary etc. On the other hand you had those who saw it and felt they had been jipped. I was one of the guys who felt jipped let down.

Gojira 01-25-2005 02:33 PM

Hi Classic I as you well know was not impressed with Blair Watch Project movie but the Scifi channel was showing a back ground story and history about the Blair Watch and I was very impressed with the Scifi channeles Blair Witch history program imo that ruled but not the BW movie.

Christ, you've got a worryingly common attitude - you mean a horror film didn't exactly, literally conform to its title or reputation?

Heaven forbid you might discover a new horror experience in a film whose power comes from what is suggested rather than what is viscerally shown.

I bet you HATED Blair Witch, right?

people don't feel as though they have to like them they just hear that it's a classic,go and check it out and they realized why it's called a classic and begin to like it themselves.

on the other hand there's people like you who don't like them after they've seen them.

Gojira 01-25-2005 02:49 PM

Hi Extr3mist I liked the Abominable Dr. Phibes in 1971 a hell of alot more than TCM in 1974. IMO Phibes was very creative when he was kiiling people and that I liked a great deal I found that movie very entertaining. Now TCM Leatherface only seems to make motions with his chainsaw like he is cutting anyone can see he is not. I felt jipped. The dinner scene is about Sally being scared to death. Hooper goes out of his way to make this scene look like what would happen if a girl were placed in this situation. I like what he did but again I didnt see the girl get slashed or her body parts chopped off which I would have enjoyed watching. I saw Sally make her get away then Leatherface chace after her. If you see the title TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE then see the movie by the movies end you feel jipped because as a viewer there was no massacre. The Massacre that there was you never see you just see people lying on a table and hung on a hook but no blood & guts. The Death Scenes in the 2 Phibes movie Hell yeah creative inventive fun to watch people die. If you ask me there was more of a massacre in the Omen than in TCM and the death scenes in the Omen are great!!!

ClassicHorror 01-25-2005 03:00 PM

Blood and Guts isn't everything.

so you would've liked the texas chainsaw massacre if it had peopel getting chopped up and you would've got to see the girl get all hacked up. and you actually used the words ''i didn't see the girl get slashed or her body parts chopped off which i would have enjoyed watching'' there's nothing at all wrong with the way that sounds to you?

Gojira 01-25-2005 03:22 PM

Well Austin look at the title of the movie TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. Now if I read that title and I pay to go see this movie I am hoping I will see what the title implys and I didnt see any massacre. And the movie was kind of dull. Now when I saw the Omen in 1976 I knew it was about the AntiChrist also I saw plenty of good death scenes something you didnt see in TCM.

Now imagine a new Frankenstien movie is made and you go to see it and in the movie Victor digs up a few bodys put the parts togeher and pulls the switch hoping his creation will come to life cause this is what you go see a Frankenstien movie for right. Anyway lets say the body just stays still on the table and the cops start to investigate who has been digging up graves. At the movies end the Frankenstien monster never gets up and gets lose and attacks people. Well thats how I felt about TCM back in 1974 because I didnt see any massacre. I felt jipped

The_Return 01-25-2005 03:33 PM

I also MUCH prefer Dr. Phibes over TCM, but TCM was still an amazing movie. I had a party a few months ago, we watch a few horror movies, climaxing with TCM. My 2 friends both felt the same way as you Gojira, jipped and disapointed. I however, love every second, especially the dinner...creepy as hell.

now i've got to use your own stuff against you. the title Frankenstien implys a movie about frankenstien who is the creator of the monster not the monster so that would actually be sticking to the title. it's not called frankenstien's creature gets up and terrorizes town it's just called frankenstien so it would actually be doing what you don't like and that's sticking strictly to the title if the monster never got up and did anything.

Gojira 01-25-2005 04:02 PM

LOL Austin everyone know the movie Frankenstien is about a Dr. who brings a dead body back to life. Then something goes wrong because Fritz drops the brain and the body that comes to life has a subnormal brain. We all know what to expect when we see a new Frankenstien movie. I was making the point if the person Dr. Frankenstien made never were to get up at all then as a viwer I am sure you might feel jipped never getting to see the body come to life. Well thats how I felt about TCM back in 74 I never saw Leatherface take a chainsaw and chop up everyone. I think a more propper title for TCM back in 1974 would have been Texas Wackos because thats what you do see in the movie just a wacked out family that scares people.

That's the genius of TCM though. Your imagination (remember those?) is far worse than what would have been shown in the movie. Just knowing she is hanging by a meathook as Leatherface goes to town with a chainsaw on her boyfriend is chilling enough. What you don't see in the movie helps it ten fold. I mean, that chase at the end is terrifying. Seeing the gore would have cheapened the actual horror of the movie.

As it stands now, TCM is one of the scariest movies out there. Had it been shown in all its glory, it would have been a gore hounds dream, but not frightening at all.

Gojira 01-26-2005 06:15 AM

Hi Omen I am just one of the people who saw TCM and did not find one bit of it to be scary. I sat watching it hoping the good part would come along for me it never did. Lets take the movie the Omen which I like a great deal imagine if the big spearlike pole that kills the priest didnt show the pole go into him lets say the scene was you see the pole fall to the priest you dont see it touch him but you see him leaning next to the pole dead. If that would have been scene I am sure you would have felt jipped because you would not have seen the pole penitrate his body. So when I see Leatherface not hacking off body parts in TCm and just making motions I feel jipped to me that is not horror. Hey I could put on a mask get a chainsaw make motions as though i am hacking up a body without touching it and that would not be scary at all. I say make movies like Dr. Phibes where you see people get killed and it looks real or the Omen or movies along those lines.
