Fot just being bad, Ouija stuck out for being unrelentingly awful.


For most offensive I'd say Men Behind the Sun - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_Behind_the_Sun


And for the most depraved or unsettling, I give the award to a film my housemate worked on - Pig - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_(2010_film)

Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween. I appreciate it wasn't just a pointless shot-for-shot remake like many of these types of film, but he completely misunderstands the original - Not only does it go way overboard with the gore and contain some disgusting scenes that serve no purpose except to shock, but by giving Michael Myers a generic troubled backstory it completely ruins what makes him scary in the first place. He is meant to be a mysterious, unstoppable killing machine that's barely even human. That's terrifying, making him recognisably human or applying any sort of sympathy completely destroys that image and just turns him into a generic 'lost cause'.

The 2018 reboot/sequel, though it wasn't perfect, got this right by dismissing any sense there may be another side to him.

Plan 9 From Outer Space. Generally regarded as the worst film ever and more bad sci-fi than horror (aliens invade Earth to resurrect ghouls), so bad they made an Oscar-winning film about its making, which was as fab as the original is unwatchable except to laugh at. Bela Lugosi was Dracula using silent footage they'd filmed from an earlier project before he died and just bunged into the film randomly to get a well-known name on the poster ohmy.gif laugh.gif

It's a Must-see experience!

I love Plan 9. Yeah it's bad but it's so much fun and Ed Wood always had plenty of original and ambitious ideas even it always outstetched his budget and his talent. It has wonderful surreal quality and plus it has Vampiria in it.

I wouldn't say it's generally regarded as the worst film of all time. It got that from Michael Medved's books (which also claimed Richard Burton to be the worst actor ever) but it has received quite a few favourable reviews and sits around the 5.5 mark on both imdb and rotten tomatoes.
It's certainly amateurish but big budget fare like Showgirls, Battlefield Earth, Ishtar, Highkander II, Last Airbender, The Room and Movie 43 are far worse if you ask me. And my personal worst film ever is Exorcist II: The Heretic - which does have Richard Burton in funnily enough

The worst I've ever seen is Troll 2 (the film that launched a thousand memes), although it definitely has a so bad it's good quality to it.

I haven't seen that many horror films that I actively dislike, but the one that I found really hard to stomach was Saw: The Final Act. Even though I know exactly what the Saw franchise is and what it entails, I found it far too bleak even by Saw's standards, and I found the fact that some of the victims were not deserving of their fates, unlike others as per the logic of the franchise, really didn't sit well with me.

Troll 2, any of the Evil Deads, Sharknados, and has anyone seen the truly atrocious Spirit Clock by Billie Piper? Amma let Sharknado finish, but Billie Piper's Spirit Clocks the worst movie OF ALL TIME! Oh and District 13.

Not the 'Evil Dead' movies!!! cry.gif

I can't think of any "truly awful" horror movies coz tbh, if they're that bad, I'm quite good at remembering how terrible they are and erasing them from memory lmao.

Recent years though 'Truth or Dare' and 'Fantasy Island' are both right down there... horrendous.
