Movies to avoid...whats your list?
 
what movies did you watch then question why you just wasted 2 hours of your time? list 'em here! try to add a why if you have one!

sleepaway camp 3 - just horrid crappy deaths,super bad acting (and i'm pretty tolerant) and a wholy ridiculous plot line.

slaughter studios - mega cheese with this one coupled with a piss poor plot and a guy with the most terribly,horridly,awful english accent in the history of english accents...spare yourself unless you enjoy triple Z gade films...or you're into self torture.

redneck zombies - nuff said right there.

evil death - came out shortly after evil dead and is a cornucopia of faults. at one point the camera man turns and looks at the director..guess they never heard of editing..lol.

i know there are more but i can't think of them right now. oh and sorry if there is already a thread like this, i searched and didn't find one so i made my own.

Off Season- Pretentious crap masquerading as Indie horror.
Cursed- Kevin Williamson script. Christina Ricci's interesting variation on good acting. Stale werewolf lore with no new insights. A delightful crap sundae with all the fixins.
The Last Horror Movie- PoMo metacinematic pseudoart at its most nauseating.
American Psycho 2- Removing every trace of Brett Easton Ellis presence and adding William Shatner. What a judgment call.
Boogeyman- More epileptic than scary. A combination of It and They with less insight than either of its pronominally titled forefathers.
Amityville Horror Remake- see the thread for my particular qualms.
Red Eye- Oh no, somebody wants to kill the secretary of homeland security! Maybe we'll be able to piss without security cameras. Spoooooky.
Cheerleader Massacre-Not much massacring. Not much cheerleading. Fans of Bring it On AND Texas Chainsaw Massacre will be disappointed. What the hell were these people thinking by rationing the violence and nudity in a film that could only POSSIBLY be propelled by these two things. My Dinner with Andre is more sexy and exciting.
Midnight Mass- Sexy goth S and M vampires are harassed by boring humans that feed on postmodern angst far more often than you see the vampires feeding on blood.

The aforementioned Off-Season is definitely one to be avoided. I'd also add Slaugherhouse of the Rising Sun to the list. A miserable failure on all counts, and quite near the top of my list of worst movies ever. Anything directed by Stephen Sommers (The Mummy, Van Helsing.) It boggles my mind that such an inept filmmaker can keep churning out successful films. I weep for society.

Dante'sInferno 10-18-2005 07:49 PM

Agreed. The only semi-good scene in that movie was the pool party...

zomb5150 10-18-2005 08:02 PM

How about "Children of the living Dead"?

Out of every movie named, this is the only one I will disagree with...

Redneck Zombies is one of the most entertaining Troma films out there!

Well, except for Halloween 3. I like that one too. (It's just out of place in the Halloween franchise.)

slasherman 10-18-2005 08:55 PM

Avoid at all cost

bwind22 10-18-2005 10:59 PM

Here are a few I would never recommend to my worst enemies...

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4: The Next Generation
Phantasm (All of them. Fuck that series!)
House of the Dead (Worst. Movie. Ever.)
Hood of the Living Dead (Yes! It's as bad as it sounds!)
Battlefield: Earth (Yes! It's as bad as you've heard!)

Gelflingboy 10-18-2005 11:44 PM

Last House on The Left ( 1972): Pathetic debut for Wes Craven, i think "Maniac" ( 1980) is way better than this goreless and unscary crap, heck even "Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Scream" were better Craven movies.

Zombie Lake ( 1980): Painful French-Spanish zombie movie that makes "House of the Dead" look good! guaranteed to make you wanna kill yourself.

Zombi 3 ( 1988): Horrible in-name only sequel to "Zombi 2 ( a.k.a. Zombie)", fast moving zombies included which are reminsence of "Nightmare City"and an early zombie baby ( ala, Dawn of the Dead remake), this movie is sooo bad that it also makes House of the Dead look like oscar gold.

House of the Dead ( 2003): 'Nuff Said.

Nightmare on Elm Street 2 ( 1985): Worst of the Series!

slasherman 10-19-2005 05:56 AM

I can see you guys realy hate "House of the dead"...i never gonna see it :)


and stay away from "The Village".......

taylorsmommy 10-19-2005 06:03 AM

I would also avoid "13th Child: Legend of the Jersey Devil"

Best decision you ever made.

It's HORRIBLE!

scouse mac 10-19-2005 06:53 AM

Rawhead Rex, mainly because the creature in it was so fucking awfully done with pathetic little red light bulbs for eyes! Dont waste your time

crazy raplh 10-19-2005 07:03 AM

I don't know aboput this thread. I think it is the bad horror movies that make the heart of horror. well maybe there are a couple to avoid, none from the others, I like pretty much all of them but beware of: Evil sister 2, massacure, and doll graveyard

PR3SSUR3 10-19-2005 08:05 AM

Some odd decisions here, especially Freddy's Revenge, Season of the Witch, Last House on the Left and Texas Chain Saw Massacre: Next Generation.

Do some of you actually watch these films for story and execution, or simply compare them to post-modern clever stuff and agree with the popular opinion of impressionable youngsters?

TCM4 for example was way ahead of Craven & Co.'s self-referential "homages" to the classics, without needing to lapse into smug back-slapping and sly winks.

crazy raplh 10-19-2005 08:31 AM

SKOOFx 10-19-2005 09:10 AM

I expected WAYYYYY worse for TCM4.
Everyone made it out to be HORRIBLEEE..

but eh..its mildly entertaining as a standaloen horror flick. But compared to the TCM series..its a disgrace.

Is that fair enough to say?

BH14 10-19-2005 10:11 AM

I can't believe no one said "Fear Dot Com"

Here is my list of some horrible movies:

1. Fear Dot Com
2. House of the Dead
3. Boogyman

Non-Horror:
1. Scary Movie 3
2. Freddie Got Fingered
3. Dumb and Dumberer

The_Return 10-19-2005 03:25 PM

Most bad movies, I say watch for yourself. Jigsaw, however, is too awful for human minds to endure....hands down worst movie Ive ever seen. Much, much worse than House of the Dead.

handsome rob 10-19-2005 03:52 PM

Wrong Turn.

Gozu. Sorry, I know it's well-loved but I thought it was all downhill after the opening scene with the dog.

Dumb and Dumber with Jim Carey is funny to me.... but the "Dumb and Dumberer- When Harry met Lloyd" is like the stupidest movie ever.

Maerlyn 10-19-2005 06:15 PM

"Kevin And Perry Go Large" , most stupid movie, i ve ever seen.
Others to avoid: English Patient, The Village, The Gate, Unbreakable, The Ninth Gate, Matrix 2 and 3 etc etc...

gorefreak 10-19-2005 06:41 PM

I dunno.... I haven't seen Sleepaway Camp 3, but I did see 1 and 2. It may be chock full of cheesy death scenes and a crappy plot, but at least it's enjoyable crap. :D It's like, unintentionally funny.

Movies to avoid are most films by Full Moon, definitely York Entertainment, and Dead Alive Productions. Avoid "Dead Alive" like aids. There's not one movie that they have made that's barely tolerable, let alone enjoyable. Shit like Artisan though, that's a hit or miss I suppose. They did a good job on Gingersnaps 1, although 2 and 3 were kinda dry. But the same people that made Gingersnaps were also responsible for "Childred of the Living Dead"? What gives?

Boogeyman
Darkness Falls
The Ring 2
Any Halloween movie after the 5th ( I do enjoy Halloween 3 Season of the Witch)

:rolleyes: Fuck! I'd rank that series right up at the top of my list.

as I've said about hrrrmmmm 10 - 15 times:

http://www.roicat.com.tw/poster/t-z/undead.JPG

Undead (it looked great on the cover and this film has its fans but yeeeeassshhhhhh *shakes head* )

&

The Locals (Total trash. Thought New Zealand would come up with something better than this. One day we'll put out a good horror flick that doesn't have Peter Jackson's name attached to it).

http://www.tiberiusfilm.de/bilder/cover_a/locals.jpg

zomb5150 10-19-2005 08:44 PM

I really didn't care for "Undead" either.:mad:

Elvis_Christ 10-19-2005 09:43 PM

Yep utter fuckin' shit!

bwind22 10-19-2005 10:40 PM

I liked the first half of Undead, but not really the second half.

Freddie Got Fingered is a very specific type of humor, but if you 'get' it, that's one of the funniest movies out there.

TCM 4- Just plain sucks. Talk about a retarded plot. Anyone trying to defend this movie loses any credibility whatsoever as far as I'm concerned.

I also thought Unbreakable was pretty good. IMO, it's his second best film to date. (Behind 6th Sense)

Why Wrong Turn was included on someones list is beyond me...

Dumb and Dumberer was pretty bad, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. (Although the two actors in it, do a really good job of sticking to the character traits of Harry and Lloyd, but tha's about the only positive and it's not enough to make me think anyone should see this movie.)
