From Great to Garbage in One Shot

The shit movie tournament made me go on a tangent ..


The Ring was a good movie .. a landmark in horror film history - it was well made and was the introduction for most folks to the world of asian horror cinema.

then #2 comes out ... and was complete garbage.

boggles the mind that someone can mess up something that good in one fell swoop.

I feel the same way about The Matrix.


what other films are there where you felt the origional was fantastic, and the sequel was incredibly bad ?

The Howling. The first one is one of my favorite movies, the second one made me cringe since Christopher Lee was in it, and the rest was pure shit.

I really think that most sequels don't live up to their prececessors (like Cube and Hypercube), but I'm still trying to come up with one that was completely horrible attached to a really good original

Friday The Thirteenth came to mind...But, I can't really call part 2 'garbage'

Hmm...I'll give this some thought

there's a difference between not living up to the 1st - and completely sucking off the charts.

i'm thinking about the ones that didnt just suffer from a weaker story or director - i'm talking about the ones that fell completely flat on their faces.


The Howling was a good example

Yeah, that's what I'm still trying to come up with

But, I like a lot of 'bad' horror movies, so I know I'm more lenient than others might be


The baby is playing some ridiculously annoying, noisy thing on his computer right next to me, making it kinda difficult to think, too...I'll come up with something, though.
