Dunk Films - by Christopher Waldeck

Worst horror film you've ever seen

July 28th 2009 03:02
What is the worst horror film you've ever seen? I'm asking my readers to leave a comment answering this question because honestly there are so many that could be considered the worst when it comes to critic's reviews yet personal opinions of what movies are the worst always tend to differ. I'll list some of the worst horror films I've ever seen and these don't include those low budget soft core porn movies disguised a horror films because nobody should even call that horror or an attempt at a movie in general or many of the B movies. These are mainstream horror films that ultimately failed at even attempting to be horror except for how low hollywood would go:


Shutter (remake)
One Missed call (remake)
Bryan Loves you
Texas chainsaw Massacre the next generation and the beginning.(tie)
Elsewhere (teen movie disguised as horror.)
Halloween 3: the curse of Micheal Meyers
Freddy's dead the Final Nightmare(comedy. Freddy flys in on a broomstick enough said.)
Saw V (this series should have ended two movies ago.)
Jaws the Revenge
Santa's Slay(Was this actually mean't to be scary.)
The Grudge 2 (acting is terrible.)
Jason X (Slightly better than Manhattan and only slightly.)
Friday the 13th Jason takes Manhattan
Pulse (remake)
Psycho (remake. Should have never been made.)



These are just some of the movies that ultimately failed miserably for me. Sure you can argue that they had their entertaining moments, but ultimately they were terrible films altogether. If you're wondering as to why I don't include b movies, it's because the list could go on and on. B movies also don't try to be Hollywood which divides the two of them. I would like to hear your opinions on this list I'm up for any debate.

For me, it's a toss-up between

The Creature from the Black Lagoon -

I choked on a choccy when I saw the zip up his back.

and (drum roll)

The Blob.

When it crawled over the Bus diner, you could see it was a black and white photo.

Showing my age here*grin*

Dear Elisabeth thank you for the reply. Once you've seen a movie from long ago with it's production quality many find it hard to appreciate how revolutionary those films actually were. I wouldn't consider those films in the worst, because of their originality and how ground breaking they were. Now production wise i can understand because of the limited effects of both those movies. However The Blob had been remade with upgraded effects and they're remaking the Creature from the Black Lagoon as reported via an online rumor.

Dude, you've only just touched the tip of the iceberg there. As much as I love horror movies, there is more crap than good, unfortunately. And especially now, as Hollywood and indie filmmakers clamber to get horror movies released as they're considered the genre-du-jour.
Pretty much every Friday the 13th, Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street sequel has been crap, or below average. I don't mind the first Halloween II, and I don't mind Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.
I'll go out on a limb here and say that actually I quite enjoyed the prequel, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. I liked the look and feel of it.
As a rule of thumb any movie made by Ewe Boll is fucking dreadful. He should be taken out back and shot.
Yes, I hear Jaws: The Revenge (Michael Caine?) is considered infamously terrible, but I've never seen it.
There are so many straight-to-DVD releases that are behind redemption, but there's just too many to mention. Too many. It's impossible to keep up. I did do a post on the subject myself a couple of years ago here

I still stand by my selection!

I saw them when they were first released - under X in England. I was under age at the time, but my mother was the head clerk and I sat at the back with the Usherettes.

I think Hammer Films started soon after - now they produced some really hairy, scary horror films!

How about 'Best Horror Spoof' next time?

I have a candidate for that too, it's .....

Darn! Computer Malfunction!

Elisabeth I think i'll do a best horror spoof next time. I must say that is a great idea. Byrn you're right about horror movies being more bad than good. That's why i've only listed the films that I believed attempted be horror and were for some reason released in theaters while other masterpieces like Martyrs and Inside weren't. I didn't mention Uwe Boll because I don't consider his movies horror or even movies in general, and he would take up the entire list if i ad to mention his work.

Glad we agree on Boll.
