good, bad, good films
Ooookay. Lets here your favourite horror movies from say the past ten years that have being universally panned, loathed or hated by critics and the ilk. I'm being mean and not allowing all your eighties faves
volcano zombies human centipede 3 (1% on metacritic, i love it!) jersey shore massacre avaalanche sharks sharknado zombeavers snakes on a plane (don't know how anyone can not like this) heres a link for an upcomer for friends of the uttterly plausible http://http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3977848/ Must also speak up for an entire list of syfy movies, they are always hated straight off the bat by many, and though the reasons may be fair, i feel it is doing a great diservice to films that can be terrific fun if taken in the correct context, besides which some of them really aren't all that bad compared to some higher budgeted and rated films i've seen rant over, yours please |
thought this would have being quite popular, oh well another failure

I like Hayride, alot! I think most people dislike it. ::cool::
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1861343/ I like Hayride 2 aswell. |
This would be easier if I knew what movies people like and don't like. I know some movies that are super popular are the obvious for most liked, but not the opposite...
I did read an article yesterday that said something about the 10 top Hollywood flops and on the list was Cutthroat Island. ...Can't figure out why. I like that movie. One of my favorite movies is 'The Breed'. With vampires. Not the dogs. Nobody knows of it and those who do don't like it. Does that count as a 'good bad good movie'? |
i love 'the breed', the dog one not the vampire one. I think most are just indifferent to it though rather than loving or hating it. I don't know why these movies are called 'shite' i don't think you can really take a snobbish attitude to them just because you dislike the effects or the acting. An example is 'the rats' 2002, recently viewed this and really enjoyed it. Nice story okay acting and some cool effects (plus the thought of deadly rats is something we can all relate to) yet it only gets 5 on imdb is this fair, no. Yes there's many flaws in these movies but so there is in all movies. i do get annoyed by some of the snobbishness from horror fans, especially if you take the wider outlook that all horrors are ridiculous by the sheer nature of them.
Naturally, these sort of films are not necessarily ggod simply becuase of this fact, however i do think this section of them get an unecessarily hard time at times |
I'm surprised no one said Troll 2. That's the quintessential good bad flick!
I also really enjoyed The Purge, Annabelle, and Devil. Despite the fact that they're all very generic or lazy, I thought they were all really entertaining. I have all three on Blu Ray too. |

Saw Annabelle in theaters. Didn't really care for it, but it was fun to go see with my sister and a few friends. The one especially was really freaked out by it. XD |

troll 2 is an odd one for me. It pushes its badness slightly tooo far for my liking. As i have said not all 'bad' films are 'good' some are just rubbish or simply don't appeal. The purge is too popular and to liked to really to fall into this category. Thought it was okay, although i don't tend to be that mad keeen on home invasion thrillers, as tension can be easily lost by rudimentary errors.

This might be the only place on the internet where people like human centipede but don't like troll 2.

I highly doubt that.
Troll 2 IS concidered by many as one of the worst horror movies ever. |

I enjoyed the horribleness of Troll 2 but I don't have it on my rewatch list. I also like Human Centipede quite a bit.
I personally love any film discussion that would mention Troll 2 and HC in the same sentence, so I'm really enjoying reading over this thread.::smile:: |
lol! i agree v much repo'd::smile:: I don't know why hc has so many haters. It is a scary, disturbing concept, albeit a daft one. I agree the acting and story aren't the worlds greatest, but overall it isn't that much more flawed compared to many more more popular movies. Like i said all horrors are ridiculous as a concept, and even the most popular ones have giant plot holes and stupid logic at their heart. Also even the problems that most people have with it aren't really that 'standout' bad, again compared to other similar horrors

Thing about HC, is it's disturbing. Very disturbing. In a horrific abomination to man sense, and that's why I'm not shocked this site gives it such a thumbs up. Most people who can't stomach this abomination created in the movie or don't like the movie for whatever else reason is understandable as well. ...I'm also one of those people who can't stomach it, but I have no disrespect towards people who do like it. Personally though I was really hoping the creature would look like it did on the cover than the butt to face result we were given. ...That might have also been a negative factor towards the movie that the audience majority didn't care for as well.

interesting reply roif. It is disturbing and i guess that's partly the appeal. however, i don't think it's anymore disturbing than say men behind the sun, or i spit on your grave. Both have things disturbing in them if you consider the viewing of something as serious as rape disturbing, or torture based on real life suffering. Things that are much more likely to actually occur and happen in real life more than hc. That's really partly my point, the two things abovce don't get half as much hate as hc, in fact 'i spit' in particular is much beloved by many

Comments about Human Centipede with spoilers.
What I never see people talk about in regards to Human Centipede was the acting. For the actors they're in a ridiculous situation. They're connected to the person in front of them via prosthetics. They can't talk. They have to look to be in incredible distress and madness constantly over and over for different camera angles. They have to move about in unison, up stairs while not trying to break the prosthetics. All the while they do a great job of all of it. The mad scientist wasn't nearly as good as these actors comprising the centipede. |
The only thing I liked about the first HC was Dieter Laser. I thought he was actually pretty funny and not so over-the-top that he was annoying. Other than him, I was mostly disappointed because there really wasn't anything as "shocking" as promised. The second one was atrocious in every aspect. It wasn't even disturbing; it was basically a trashy slasher movie. I never bothered with the third one.
