The 100 Worst Horror Movies
 

I wanted to make a list of 100 of the worst horror movies of all time based on stuff I've seen on the internet, your recommendations, and just a few personal contributions. I may want to do something with this for my channel too. Also, put just a sentence or two on why you think it should be in the list. I'm gonna put this in alphabetical order and not necessarily how bad the movie is.

Click on my IMDB listing (that appears on my signature). There are plenty of crap movies you'll find after 400 or may be after 450. Particularly last 50 are crappiest of them all!::big grin::

I want to make a list of what THIS forum thinks.

Well there's two kinds of bad movies.

There's good bad, and bad, bad...lol.

There's lots of low budget junk and SyFy channel movies that some people (such as myself) still enjoy watching for various reasons.

But there are others that I can honestly tell you not to waste your time watching because they are honestly terrible and have no redeeming features other than to make you feel bored for an hour and half and wish you had that wasted hour and a half of your life back...lol. You want that kind of bad?

Off the top (slice) of my head, a movie I re-saw recently:

The Curse of the Cat People (1944)

It's not that it's really all that bad -- though it does commit that heinous sin of being BORING! - just that the movie it's a sequel to, Cat Woman, is so so good. And CotCP totally wastes the delicious Simone Simon.

I honestly don't care. It can be so bad it's good or just no redeeming qualities at all.

A couple I have found that are some that I've watched and some that I've found around the internet:

The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence):
"The film is reprehensible, dismaying, ugly, artless and an affront to any notion, however remote, of human decency." - Roger Ebert

The Devil Inside:
"The Devil Inside is a cheap, choppy unscary mess, featuring one of the worst endings in recent memory." - Rotten Tomatoes

The Apparition:
"hilariously non-scary" - RedEye Chicago

House of 1,000 Corpses:
"Cheesy, vapid, contrived, and shallow..." - Cinema Crazed

Troll 2:
"godawfulness in the best way imaginable" - 7M Pictures

One Missed Call:
"The first major release of the year is a complete dud. Shocker!" - Kevin McCarthy

Black Devil Doll From Hell (1984)

Only appealing to those who enjoy woman being rapped by rasta-dolls who talk like Mr. T.

Heavy Metal Massacre (1989)

The true terror lurks in the boredom you will experience. Terrible kills scenes and truly bad Heavy Metal.

Blood Shack (1971)

Ray Dennis Steckler's classic tale of horror. The movie is supposed to be about a Native American spirit that haunts this house. The house is really like a one bedroom shack and the Native American spirit is a guy dressed as a Ninja carrying a sword. Oh, and of course plenty of rodeo footage because the film wasn't long enough to release.

Back Woods (2001)

David C. Hayes is the world's first 300 pound, retard-redneck transvestite serial killer. What's not to love? Anything about this movie.

Sledgehammer (1983)

It's your classic tale of teenagers getting killed in a house where a kid kills his mother and her lover with a hammer. Although the "teenagers" are like 30-40 year olds with beards and mustaches and killer shape shifts between a child and man roughly the size of David C. Hayes from my previous pick who can barely fit down the hallway.

I love Lep but you'd have to pay me to sit through this one.

Haha...that's my favorite one!

This is one of those movies that you just stare in awe at how hilariously awful it is... one of my favorite bad movies.

Here are some i personally found terrible:

Satans Little Helper

Black Christmas (Remake)

The Devil Inside

Quarantine 2

Feast 2

Seed of Chucky if that even counts as a horror

Paranormal Activity 2

Crazy Eights

Scream 4

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Remake)

Halloween Resurrection

PA 2? Are you kidding me?

So damn boring. How many shots of the living room and pool do I have to suffer through before something fucking happens?

I thought it was almost as good as the first one.

Satan's Little Helper was a cheesy little gem a film that I didn't expect to be half as entertaining as it was.

The first one was new and suspenseful. The second one tried to do the same thing by using the same tricks wed already seen but in a more boring dragged out manner

I found it incredibly annoying, terribly acted and written and was bored throughout

Killer Klowns from Kansas on Krack
Cheapest thing I've probably ever seen.
The punching sounds were actually a guy making punching sounds.
Like someone saying "Doof!" short and hard.

Those are silly but fun. I like that.

You've made me curious...

The whole of Troma`s back catalogue.Hideously crap every single one of them.

Even The Toxic Avenger?

Night of the Demons and Night of the Demons 2

Here is a few I thought were awful...

Dario Argento's Dracula

Coffin Baby

You're Next

RZ's Halloween 2

Annabelle

V/H/S Viral

I refuse to put You're Next.

I second You're Next, H2, and Annabelle

If you're really serious about doing this then a significant amount of votes for a movie should put it in the list. It shouldnt just be about what you do or do not like

The reason I refuse to put it on the list is because reviews like "You’re Next might be one of the most audience-gratifying horror films I’ve seen in quite a long time, rewarding the viewers as much as it likes to screw with them." and "If you are looking for some exciting thrills and one of the best horror films then “You’re Next” is for you." I don't think that warrants a "worst movie ever" spot.

Sorry Horcrux, I think Villain is right.

Doing an HDC collective Top 100 has nothing to do with what anyone -- outside the HDC collective you've engaged -- has to say about a film.

If you're going to do an HDC top 100, then do that exclusively, period. If you want to do your own opinion, or what other websites collectively think, then do that. You can't mix the two & get anything meaningful.

We already have Rottentomatoes & IMDB. Let HDC go where it goes all by itself.

Worst horror films? Meh...

Worst is probably more subjective than best. I'll throw a few in off the top of my head...

Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman
Dracula Versus Frankenstein
Exorcist II: The Heretic
Jaws 2
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 1986

This is not going to be an official list.

I never said it was.

Oh so having a good review somewhere means it won't be on your list.....okay so i guess that means that you're gonna have nothing on your list. You're always going to find someone, somewhere who enjoys a movie for whatever reason and if you're not even going to engage in a debate or discussion about why you disagree with our choices and just flat out refuse to include a movie whether this is an official list or not, then there really is no point in anyone putting their thoughts into this thread.

This is why I always oppose this idea whenever it comes up, and it has many times over the years. Even moreso than best of lists, worst of lists seem to generate much more controversy. There are several films nominated in this thread that I think are brilliant- not just "so bad they're good," but actual brilliant films. It's just too subjective.

It's probably easier just to post your list of the worst movies you can think of. Taste is so subjective, for instance while Sculpt thinks TCM 2 should be on the list I adore that movie and have two different releases of it. It's especially hard to do with a group of people like we have here in which you'll find some people who really dig stuff like Frankenhooker (me) and Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter (not so much me...).

Thanks, Neverending. As I do occasionally, I just read the thread title, and didn't read Horcrux's first post...

It reads Horcrux is just putting his own list together (for himself, not HDC) and is asking for suggestions. I assumed he was getting films together for a HDC participation thread. Sorry about that, Horcrux! Disregard my previous post.

Very true, Desp!

Regarding Hooper's TCSM2... I was a fan of TCSM for some years, and then saw TCSM2 at the theatre with some friends. Expectations will affect how one perceives a film. I wasn't expecting a looney dark comedy. (That's how Hooper himself described it, & I agree.).

Now as a looney, gory, mean spirited, dark comedy, I still don't think it was a good film. If I compare it to Motel Hell, I think Motel Hell captured the right frame of mind, so to speak. I don't think TCSM2 was cogent. Mean spirited is difficult to pull off. I don't find mean spirited dark comedy entertaining anyway, but it's a complicated art-form, of many levels, that can work. I think it failed miserably.

Hooper said he didn't want to do it, at the time, he wasn't the main writer of the story, it made the family anti-heros, but I didn't see (in the flim) any cogent intention of what the family was, or what we're supposed to think about it. To put it crassly, I thought the film clumsily stumbled into mean-spirited-porn, was made strictly for money, leeching off the original, plus a cinematic mess. I'm glad you got something good out of it.

Maybe you can tell me what things you thought the film was trying to say? Why you liked it?

I wasn't looking for a message in it, I had heard from a friend that I had to see it and that it was drastically different from the first... total popcorn film. So me and a friend sat down and watched it. I immediately fell in love with "Chop Top" and Grandpa but Dennis Hopper brought it over the edge for me. The lunacy, from the first car chase to the final showdown was fantastic and a lot of fun to watch. I guess I wasn't really searching for a better understanding of a serial killer's family dynamic or a message delivered about society through a dual chainsaw wielding cop and perhaps that's why I liked it so much. Some people enjoy sifting through layers of subtlety in film and trying to get into the head of the creators, to an extent I do too, but sometimes I'm just looking for a good time.

Anything with Eli Roths name on it

I thought Hostel and Cabin Fever were amazing, but Hostel Part 2 was trash. I wanna see The Sacrament.

Surprised you didn't like Hostel or Cabin Fever. What didn't you like about em?
