Re: Worst horror film of all time....

I think Rosemarys Baby was really bad went out my way to find it as it was billed as one of the scariest films of all time and I thought I'd die of boredom

Re: Worst horror film of all time....

Any of the saddistic movies that pass as horrors and seem immensely popular of late:
-Saw series
-Hostel series
-The Hills have Eyes series
-The Cave

Just unwatchable.

Yes. Absolutely disgusting stuff. Truly pornographic. These kinds of torture porn films serve absolutely no purpose.

I'm so tempted to track this down now

A lot of horror has a 'so bad it's good' quality and it's actually pretty difficult to find a geniunely scary film these days.

My ex used to talk about Manos, but (un)fortunately I have not seen it yet... *ponders* perhaps its on Netflix.

Now, if they have it, do I really want to subject myself to it?

Wrong Turn 2. Not entertaining on any level whatsoever. No skill in production, no likeable characters, bad dialogue, crappy concept, no imagination, just pure, utter, unlikeable dross. I would honestly rather stare at a turd for two hours instead.

The first one wasn't great, so I can't imagine a sequel being any better.

Never bothered to see the second one. The first seemed to be something of a paradox, i.e., a film made on a shoestring which got more pre-release hype on the Sci-Fi channel than it deserved: A faux documentary which hinted that it all was cobbled together with "real" footage discovered after-the-fact. Pshaw. And monkeys................

How could anybody get that lost? And did the fishermen they stumbled into catch anything?

Dark Water (the US version anyway) - has to be the most dull film I have ever watched.

Soul Survivors I mean I'm pretty tolerant of films but even i thought this was bad

"Rosemary's Baby" isn't a bad movie; it just isn't a scary movie.

My nomination for the worst horror film of all time is "The Thing with Two Heads" (1972), starring Ray Milland as a rich racist who, when he finds out he is dying, arranges for his head to be transplanted onto another body. Only the body is that of an African-American man (Rosey Grier), and they just add the racist's head to the body rather than, you know, finding a body with no head to transplant onto.

Awful, awful, horrible film that I actually paid good money (not much, but still, good money) to see in the theater when it was first out. But, heck, I was in high school, and we all do stupid things when we are in school.
