House of Wax for sure!
Zombie Strippers (can't believe this one even exists)
the remake of Carrie (leave good classic movies alone)
any asinine dumb comedy
Big (I can't stand seeing adults act childish)

I liked the original Dumb and Dumber, that movie is one of those that cheers me up just when I need it (I had a really horrible work week one week, oh hell, any week, but this week was bad and they were playing D&D at the gym and it totally lifted my spirits to work out to that movie).

There are some other really *out there* movies, moreso low budget or straight to DVD, that I see at the movie store, and I just wonder if more people need to be institutionalized for their crazy ideas.

Did you mean The Rage, Carrie 2? Because I don't remember a remake of Carrie, in The Rage, Rachel is Carrie's half sister, her father being Ralph White who was also Carrie White's father. That movie sucked, though, I will agree with you on that.

That's the Raimi style. Half horror, half comedy. Scary yet still with a campiness too it. Not sure whether to scream or laugh. It happens every time 2-3 Raimi ( Sam, Ivan and/or Ted ) brothers combine on one movie ( Evil Dead 1/2, Army of Darkness ). Its not suppose to be believable, just fun. <3

That said, my recent litany of dissappointments from my last blu-ray safari:

Monsters ( Talk about a total bait and switch. Completely different movie than the trailers. Not a bad movie persay, but its not "Monsters" so much as "Hey you might hear a monster in the background once every 45 minutes". Also, horrifically unscientific on even the most primitive level. )

Splice ( Again, another fuck you to science. Cool effects. Story thats alternatively ridiculous or terrible uncomfortable for the viewer. Also, killed Rodney from Stargate Atlantis. Unforgivable. )

Despicable Me ( Why do I even bother watching anything animated that isn't from Pixar anymore )

I got more enjoyment out of the bluray extended cut of Terminator 2 the HMV clerk offered me for $8 as a bonus for spending over $20 in the store.

Splice was just....messed up. Would you believe me if I told you that my bf and I were gorging ourselves on pizza and cheesesticks while watching that gross movie?

**Ladeeda** · 02-28-2011, 05:08 PM

Halloween remake (NO! Michael Myers does NOT have a motive! He is just EVIL!)
Yeti: a Love Story (you'd think a movie about a gay abominable snowman would be a Can't Miss)
The Haunting remake (OMG! The original had almost no special effects and produces NIGHTMARES! This was just crap)
The Phantom of the Opera with Gerard Butler (Christine can't act or sing, they swished a lot of the scenes around, Carlotta screwed up a few lines, the Masquerade dance was completely bland, and the Phantom's deformity was BOLLOCKS! Only good thing was the kickass sword fight in the graveyard.)

**Bloodsoul** · 02-28-2011, 05:23 PM

Obligatory:
Plan 9 From Outer Space
Manos: The Hands of Fate

I liked Zombie Strippers, at least the stripping parts. The boring socio-philosophical whatever parts were lame as Hell.

The Meat Eater
Devil Dynamite
Twilight
The Punisher (with Thomas Jane as Frank)

Oh, god, the horror of bad movies...

The one movie I despise with a passion and will tell everybody that the only part of it even worth letting near your television is the five minutes with Christopher Walken, which are pure gold, and yet not even remotely picking this movie up out of the gutter of self-involved, pseudo-intellectual psychobabble in which it drowns: The Addiction *retch* Damn, that piece of Mary Sue trash is so pretentious.

*takes a deep breath*

Ok. After that, there's a slew of movies I just don't care for, and the majority can be all lumped together under the tropes of Idiot Plot and Poor Communication Kills. Practically every situation comedy on TV, and most similar movies fall under this heading, unfortunately.

The boyfriend recently tried to watch Meet the Fockers, and even with my headphones on and trying to ignore the TV, I was getting irritated by the contrived nature of the basic plot.

^-.-^

I admit that I really liked some of the movies some of you have put on your lists (Inception, Despicable Me), but that's what's great about opinions

Now that I work at a video rental store, one perk I have is I get to take home movies for free before they street date. I have taken home some horrendous pieces of crap that I can't believe I actually sat through:

Dying God (the story could have been neat... maybe... with the right combination of movie-making magic, but it was so horribly low-budget that it was painful. And most of the acting sucked)

Legion: The Final Exorcism (I get a kick out of exorcism movies, and considering how many I've seen around the store lately it seems others do too. But this one was just gut-wrenchingly awful beyond words. Bad acting, horrible "special effects", sub-par plotline. There was really nothing going for it)

Stone (this one annoyed me because the three main actors in it are incredible - Edward Norton, Robert DeNiro, and Mila Jovovich - the story was just... crap)

I have also seen my fair share of awful movies throughout the years. I saw the original Piranha 2: The Spawning from the early 80s (Fun fact - did you know that James Cameron directed that monstrosity?) I was far from sober at the time and it didn't make it any less awful. My friends and I had decided to have a bad horror movie night, and boy did we pick some bad ones! Piranha 2 was basically about intelligent, flying, man-eating fish that would terrorize anyone who decided to get near the water. The over-the-top aspect was just too over-the-top even for me. Needless to say, when I first heard about the remake of Piranha, I wanted to run to Hollywood and make a toilet paper mummy out of whoever came up with the brilliant idea to bring that gem back. I will never subject myself to that remake.

I'm also curious... those of you who hated House of Wax, are you talking about the original with Vincent Price or the remake with Paris Hilton that I heard was practically unwatchable? I've never seen the remake because I refuse to watch any movie with Paris Hilton. I saw the original ages ago in old-school 3D and it was incredible. I really need to see that one again. Vincent Price was a master at his craft!

I'm sure I'll have more to add later... I've seen a lot of bad movies.

I was actually considering starting a thread on this very topic. I don't know about worst, but when I think of movies that were painful to sit through, these are the ones I think of.

Master of Disguise: Maybe not the worst, but by far the most annoying movie I sat through. The jokes sucked, the plot was stupid, and there was not one character I didn't want to punch in the face. I think the line "This is what you are doing, this is what I want you to do" sums up my thoughts on the movie perfectly.

All pokemon movies: Now I love pokemon. I was obsessed with the card game when I was a kid. I also loved the video games, and I gotta admit, it's a unique concept. But the anime was simple horrible, and since it was probably butchered by 4kids, had to have been aimed at a much younger audiance than I was at the time. But despite the lameness of the show, it was still pokemon and for those die hard fans like myself, I couldn't say no to it.

The movies are a different story. They tried way too hard to be something epic, but considering the one dementional characters of the show, they failed, failed EPICALLY. It's not the titanic, it's fucking pokemon! It's about collecting little monsters and fighting with them. It cannot be taken that seriously. And the ending to the first movie was the most laughably awful ending to any movie I've ever seen. LAME!

LOTR: I didn't read the books so I'm judging this from a pure movie standpoint. And really, from a movie standpoint, it's not that bad. The battle scenes are cool and the plot's a good idea. My problem is that is dragged on and on and on. The first 2 movies were 3 hours each, but the last one was FOUR HOURS LONG! That's TEN HOURS TOTAL!! I have a hard enough time sitting through movies as it is, but this took the cake. Especially since there were many scenes of them just sitting around talking or staring at the ring. If you're make me sit through your movie, FUCKING DO SOMETHING EXCITING!!

And the worst piece of shit I ever sat through was....

Dancer in the Dark: Movie I had to see for a film class unfortunately. This movie was everything I hate in a movie.
-Excessive melodrama: Check!
-Shoddy camera work: Check!
-Horrible musical numbers: Check!
-Characters making dumb, contrived decisions for the sake of drama: Check!
-Mind numbingly depressing mood: Damn straight!

It was just an unpleasent movie. The only thing that was missing was excessively graphic violence. And while I'm sure that was the intent of the creators, that doesn't change the fact that it was unpleasent and I hated sitting through it. When I see a movie, I want to be entertained, not frusturated, annoyed, bored, and depressed. This movie did the latter for me so I have to put it at number 1 for the worst movie I have ever seen in my life.

No I don't mean the Rage Carrie 2 that was ok. I mean the remake of Carrie....I saw a small bit of it on tv the other night and left the room in disgust.

I wasn't expecting anyone to actually KNOW Zombie Strippers

As far as House of Wax I mean the remake with that dolt Paris Hilton. Anything with her is bad. Oh and I forgot to add Glitter....didn't watch much of it but don't need to.

Please tell me you've never watched Human Centipede; that's about the most disgusting movie I've ever heard of. It was listed in a Listverse list; that's how I heard of it, and there's going to be a sequel to it out this year. Ew. X_x

Worst movies now that I have seen... got to mention "The Legend Of Chun-Li". Urgh, that movie was putrid. All the characters were fucked up and gotten completely wrong, the acting was terrible and the storyline stunk like week old dirty socks. At least "Streetfighter" redeemed its awfulness by being somewhat funny; there is absolutely nothing to recommend "The Legend Of Chun-Li". I wasted far too much of my life watching that pile of crap that I'm never going to get back.
