   I really needed to ask this question because I know that my taste is a bit weird, but I wanted someone elses input on this. I have a movie in my collection that I swore was the worst movie ever made...... "The Jet Benny Show"
I swear that it was made by a guy that one day said, "Hey! I've bot this movie camera. I know this guy that does a great impersonation of Jack Benny and another friend that does a good Princess Leah.....Let's make a movie!!!"
   Now I know that some of you are going to say that any number of Ed Wood's masterpieces are the worst, but I'd have to diagree.
   I recently had a chance to watch "Gummo" and it is by far the WORST movie EVER made!!!! It has ABSOLUTELY NO redeeming quality to it AT ALL. A total waste of money to rent it. Yes that's correct. I'm telling everyone NOT to rent it. It sucked that badly.

"Why?!? What did she say?!?" -Ford Prefect
"I don't know!!! I wasn't listening!!!" -Arther Dent

My vote for the worst movie ever made is CURSE OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN, which is available on a DVD double feature with CARNIVAL OF BLOOD.

HEADLESS HORSEMAN has no entertainment value whatsoever. It is poorly written, acted, filmed, and edited, and has bad sound. If you can make it all the way to the end, you deserve some sort of award. (I did it, and I still hate myself). This movie truly looks like a bunch of friends got together with a movie camera and said, "hey, let's make a movie." I have seen many bad movies, but this one is by far the worst.

There are so many...but the latest one I've just watched is one called "Vampyre". Nothing really happens in it, except for a bunch of vampires run amok in a small town where everybody dressed in either colonial period costumes or renaissance fair outfits (I wish I was making this up). The film also features perhaps the worst vampire hunter EVER, who really doesn't do anything to protect the townpeople until the end of the movie when he kills the leader vampire. All the other vampires die as a result...his excuse for waiting the entire hour-and-a-half of the film to do anything: "Some things must be allowed to happen".

They didn't even get the vampires any vampire fangs...

Satan's Storybook! The single worst movie ever made. This movie makes pornos look like masterpieces. This movie was porn star Ginger Lynn's first mainstream film. We picked it up thinking great T&A, boy were we wrong. The new meds have actually helped repress the flashbacks of this monstrosity. Try looking it up. Some places won't even list it and those that do, don't even list the cast or crew (what a surprise). I have written about this film many times so a quick search will bring up the many warnings I have posted on this film.

Ah, this one is exceptionally bad.  Do I remember a horde of replicated fellows, wearing sunglasses, on hoverscooters?  Either that happened or it was a fever dream brought on by the movie itself.

And, yes, I have the VHS in my collection.  Make sure to check out Dr. Freex of the Bad Movie Report as "Maggot."  That would be the shirtless freak who keeps screaming and shaking the cage bars.

I think I vaguely remember Vampyre...is it the one with a vampire chick who goes topless when townspeople are wreaking havoc?  Haven't seen it in nearly 10 years.

I'd say EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC is probably the worst movie ever made.

For me it's a toss-up between "The Worm Eaters" and "Fist of Fear, Touch of Death."
The former is, of course, an utterly inept underground 'comedy' 'horror' movie. The latter is...well, let's not talk about it.

I've seen a lot of bad movies these days (A Name For Evil, Slaughterhouse, Silo Killer, etc) but the worst of the bunch was Pledge Night. Totally worthless piece of junk.

I think it's worse when a big budget movie goes into the crapper than a no-budget film.   The fact that so much is spent to produce so little amazes me.

Night of Horror. Whenever my friends and I are staying up late and decide we need something to put us to sleep, I pop this one in. It NEVER fails.

The Pest.  

Worst movie ever.  If I ever meet John Leguzamo, I'm going to kick him in the nuts.

Classifying 'worse movie' is very hard because there exist so many different angles along which a movie may be bad.  Production, story, acting, characters, pretensiousness.

I mean, a movie that may have cheesy sets and special effects (production) and unbelievable characters doing and saying stupid things can still be a lot of fun to watch if it doesn't take itself too seriously.  But another movie can have a huge production budget and still be really irritating if it has a monumentally stupid premise and takes it really seriously.  But which one is really 'worse'?  The second is is done much more 'professionally' so it's hard to say it's completely bad because it can have good elements.  The first cannot be said to be good in any professional sense but it can invite the viewer into a silly world of the filmakers design.  There's just really bad in different ways and it takes a certain amount of willingness to go along with it for one to enjoy either of them.  And different people are willing to suspend judgement along different lines.


To me, a movie is 'good' if I don't regret the time watching it and 'bad' if I finish it up and feel like I've wasted my time.  There are a lot of arguably very bad movies I kinda enjoyed ("Nemesis" and "Robot Holocaust" being two).

   Vermin....I feel the same way about the Jet Benny Show. Whenever I have insomnia, I pop that tape in. Knocks me out about a third of the way through. Still don't think I've ever seen the entire movie. And yes, Andrew, flying replicants wearing sun glasses.  That's the movie. But still not as bad as Gummo. And I did notice that noone did bring up ANY of Ed Wood's pictures. Was that on purpose, or is it just implied that if it's Ed Wood....It's horrible. I was waiting to see Striptease...I mean Orgy of the Damned. But thanx all of you for letting me know that it's not just me and some movies just suck......and not in a good way.

Yep, that's it...the topless vampire girl riding around on horseback. I thought I was going to die laughing when the throng of vampires screech to a halt when they get to the flimsy wooden cross that the hero sets up to keep them out of the little town, only to have the "fiendish doctor who's in league with evil" toss it to the ground. A lesson learned here: Flimsy wooden crosses only work against the undead if they're upright.

At this point I must warn every single soul reading this: Normally, topless women riding around on horseback sounds like a cool thing to have in a movie...believe me, this normally cool thing isn't nearly enough to save this turd. STAY AWAY!

i still say Beast of the Yellow Night is the worst.

i truly can't figure out what is going on for the whole damned thing.

I know that alot of people will disagree with my idea of the worst movie ever made. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.There! I said it. E.

1969 gave us Larry Buchanan's "It's Alive", with Tommy Kirk at his most desperate.  Truly travestational.
1976 produced the godawful "Curse of Bigfoot", directed by Don Fields and produced by Dave Flocker, both of whom were never seen again in theatres, and rightly so.

I wouldn't say any Ed Wood movie is necessarily the worst.  Plan 9 is enjoyable if in the right frame of mind.  Yeah, Orgy of the Dead is boring because it is repetitive, but the Showgirls is bad too, IMO, because I couldn't give a rat's ass about any of the characters (still haven't seen it through) and it was so thoroughly cynical as to have no redeeming features.  At least Orgy was mildly entertaining.

Ed's stuff is way too fun to be "the worst ever." From a production standpoint, maybe, but as John Waters once said, "The only bad movies are boring ones," and Ed's stuff is anything but that.

The top worst movies i've seen are "Children of the Living Dead" "Hellcats" "I Eat your Skin" "Red Zone Cuba" and "Manos the Hands of Fate"

-the first rule of fat club-

Actually, any SciFi Original is probably in contention as worst film ever.

Oh, I'm sick of all this "Ed Wood movies are not boring, and therefore not so bad" crap. The fact of the matter is that the reason they're not boring is they ARE so bad! They are without a doubt among the worst movies ever made because of the bajillions of flaws in dialogue, special effects, acting, direction, writing, etc. Just because they're funny does not redeem them of being bad.

I think you are referring to Doris Wishman.   Watch Deadly Weapons and Double Agent 73 back to back and see if you still think Ed Wood made the worst movies ever.

Kirk

Actually, I believe that the worst films I have ever seen all tended to have a big budget (perhaps because, I dont get around to spending money on low budget films, with exceptions of Boa and Crocodiles,,,, I love them).

The three worst movies I have ever seen are defin itely: Darkness Falls (a TOOTHFAIRY?! NO. 1 AT THE BOX OFFICE), Batman and Robin


And without a doubt, American Psycho.

Are Ed Wood movies poorly made (bad lighting, rotten script, poor actors?) Well, yes.  In that sense they are bad movies.

But. consider War of the Roses.  It has competent actors  Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny DeVito (who also directed.)  Presumably the producers highered expensive scriptwriters, and had an experienced crew.  The sets were plausible, lighting good, no boom mike shots, etc.

Yet I'd much rather sit through any Ed Wood movie, even Orgy of the Dead (topless chicks never hurt) than that freakin' trainwreck off an unfunny black comedy movie.  Why? Because Wood's movies are entertaining, at least to me.  His movies are at least sincere, not an excuse by Hollywood big names to angle for a fat paycheck.  A good movie, even a bad one, to me should at least say "I want to tell you a story, or convey an idea."

It's true that you're going to laugh a lot more at "Plan 9 From Outer Space" than "War of the Roses," but frankly, "Plan 9" is the worse movie. In fact, the only reason you'd rather watch an Ed Wood movie is BECAUSE it's a worse movie! So utterly, incredibly worse, that it's funny.

Ed Wood's movies are entertaining . . . but not for the reasons HE intended. He wanted us to be scared. Instead, he made us laugh. But the point is, he DID accomplish his goal of entertaining us.

My previously mentioned vote for worst movie, CURSE OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN, does not scare anyone, NOR does it make anyone laugh. It does not offer us ANY type of entertainment value. In fact, the only emotions you might have after watching it (if you can stay awake until the end) are:

1. Frustration (and you may start crying)
2. Anger (and you may punch a hole right through the wall)

But you will not, in ANY WAY, be entertained.

Well, this is sort of why we're here, right?
Andrew certainly thinks one of mine is right up there in this category (see his review of ROBOCHIC on this website), but there really are so many many contenders that it's difficult to say.
This "Headless Horseman" thing sounds like a real winner(?), though I've never seen it -- nor have I seen most of the titles mentioned here.
I really have to agree with the fellow who hated "War of the Roses", as I never got anything out of that picture & couldn't see what the fuss was about critically -- I guess lots of movie reviewers must fantasize about killing their wives/husbands.
Ed Wood is now and shall remain the Golden Standard by which one must measure le cinema wretched -- Night of the Ghouls/Jailbait/etc. etc. -- there is nothing quite like a Wood.
Still, the quest on this topic seems to be a really really BAD film, with no entertainment value -- and, no, this ain't our Eddie.
I got into trouble once on this site by championing "Equinox" as worthless, but sure enough, many contributors here find that film entertaining.  Go figure . . .
"Howard the Duck" or "The Valachi Papers"(w/Charles Bronson) are in my top 5 for lack of worth.   Though, I gotta say I watched "Amazon Women on the Moon" again recently, and was amazed at the amount of footage shot in this thing that perform no service to humour, or anything else.  Really worthless.
My vote's gotta go to a thing called "Wolf Man", though.  Shot in the 60's, it features lots and lots of talk . . .and talk . . . and talk . . . By the time one finally gets to see the bad werewolf makeup on the guy at the end, there is no brain left in the viewer to comprehend . . . it is full of talk . . . and talk . . . and talk . . .
peter johnson

I've actually seen "Wolf Man". You forgot to mention Earl Owensby's annoying southern accent. Every time he says "wolf" it sounds like he's saying "wuff". And he talks a lot in this annoying accent (an accent that strangely none of his other family members or anybody alse in the town has).

     Now, fellows, I didn't ask this question to start a fight.... I asked it because I saw this ridiculous movie entitled....Gumbo....or Gummo....not quite sure which..... I've been trying to forget this movie....THAT'S HOW BAD IT IS!!! Although, I'm sorry to say, parts of this movie keep pushing themselves to the front of my brain.... Probably trying to escape...... It had ABSOLUTELY no redeeming qualities at all.
I'm sorry, but I've got to get this out before my head explodes all over the screen...

Picture, if you will, a little boy in a bathtub. Nothing bad about that right?!? Wrong...
The bath water looks like chocolate milk...it's that dark from dirt (still ((OUCH)) wondering if the water came out of the faucet that way or if the boy was THAT dirty???) Still not convinced?!? OK!!! His mother brings him his dinner, while he's still in the tub, and then begins to shampoo his hair as he eats his dinner....
Still not convinced?!? His mother served him a spaghetti dinner on a plate, which rested on a portable dining trays, and a nice big glass of MILK to wash it down with... Doesn't that sound delicious?!? Huh?!? And that was just one scene out of the movie.... I made myself sit through this movie with a friend of mine... We both vowed that we'd NEVER watch it again..... It had NO redeeming qualities to it AT ALL...... All in all.... The worst movie EVER made....and should never have been...
I've shot better home movies..... And that's what this looked like. A HIGH BUDGET home movie...... At least , and I mean by the grace of God, the musical director contributed something to the movie..... He picked a few good songs for background.....That's it!!! I would keep telling you all about this travesty, but it hurts way too much to think about....

Now back to it... Ed Wood movies most definitely have entertainment value... With a few minor exceptions.... I only used him as an example.... You know that Wood movies are generally rated as garbage....It doesn't mean that I don't like them...
And for the record, John Landis said himself that movies used to be made with incredibly cheesy monsters and special effects BUT had really detailed plots....
Then along came Rick Baker and the likes of artists such as him, that tranformed the art of transformation to a whole new level.... I don't mind a cheesy movie, if it's entertaining.....So I agree with that analogy. You want me to DEFINE a BAD movie... One with which you pray that someone shut of the TV or VCR.....or burns every last existing copy of it so that future generations never have to suffer that kind of pain when they watch it..... That's a bad movie!!! I can't stress to you how much pain Gumbo brought me.....That's why I asked the question...It was actually a trick to warn people about that movie...... Ed Wood did make some BAD  movies... Orgy of the Dead.....come on....That one kind of hurt.... the Jet Benny Show.....I had to be STONED off my a$$ each and every time I watched that movie so I could move 5 inches to grab the VCR remote....That's bad....But, those movie didn't hurt HALF as bad as Gumbo...... Don't hate me for what I'm about to say, but.... WATCH THE MOVIE AND THEN TELL ME....... I was trying to avoid this, but it's a last resort. It hurts me thinking about that damn movie....
And on a lighter note, I happened to like War of the Roses. Perhaps because my parents divorced when I was young, but I can kind of relate to that movie....

HEAVEN'S GATE is another ultra-baddie that I believe nearly wrecked a studio and a few careers along the way.  

Though Ed Wood's films were technically incompetent and poorly written and conceived, I think they aren't really the WORST films--it's far worse when people are supposedly professionals in the film industry, paid millions of dollars, and produce the likes of EXORCIST II or HEAVEN'S GATE.  When they fail, they fail big.  

I sorta liked GUMMO in an "Let's look at the traffic accident" sort of way.

silo killer 2 was awsome

well pocket ninjas manos the hands of fate are up there but im going to have to say oc babes and the slasher of zombie town it was soooo bad I had to watch it again and again to beleive it was real

also curse of pirate death is bad but not as bad as oc babes

IT'S ALIVE (1969) LARRY BUCHANAN's messterpiece is so terribly bad that it has some unexpected chuckles, but it is oppressively boring most of the time.  However, for me, BLOOD OF DRACULA'S CASTLE (also 1969) is truly a waste of time and would be the worst I've seen, since it had zero entertainment value.  But, I know there must be worse. 

My vote would also be "Manos Hands of Fate".  I've only seen this one with a man and 2 robots in the bottom right corner making fun of it but it was still nearly unbearable to watch.  Its so bad its hard to make fun of, if someone tries to put together a movie but fails in some way its funny.  If you can tell from start to finish not a single actor, director, producer, etc. gave a crap its hard to care.  Also blatantly zero effort in post-production (splicing scenes together generally should mean actors are standing in the same spot from one splice to the next).  There may be some as crappy, but to get much worse we would have to talking low grade porn or highschool kids class video projects.  The only thing positive I can say about this movie is that it actually is feature length, I congratulate those who made it on reaching success as defined by this standard.
A close second would be anything that is a "SciFi original movie", remove the word "original" and put in "small town terrorized by CGI creature in our stock movie format" would be more accurate.

There isn't a movie worse than Return of the Boogeyman (1994).

Dracula: AD 1972.  :teddyr:

I found a review saying this film was already looking dated by 1973 !

YES!!! Finally somebody has seen Return of the Boogeyman... When I've seen Return of the Boogeyman (1994), 3 years ago I thought there was no way any movie could be that bad. Even Manos and Troll 2 cannot reach Return of the Boogeyman's toenail.

There was one "movie" I picked up at a pawnshop once that I can't belive ever got made.  The store had some kinda deal like 3 movies for $5 or something like that.  They were trying to get rid of their VHS tapes to make room for more DVD stuff, so after finding two good movies, I struggled to find a third and ended up getting something that had the close up of a skeleton in bandgaes/mummy thing on the box.  I can't recall exactly.  My mind refuses to retain information about it.  I may be confusing it with another cheap movie I bought. 

ANYWAY... 

There are a lot of things a movie can forget or not include.  But the one thing a movie CAN'T forget and still call itself a movie, is to actually have things happen in it.  Even Red Zone Cuba and Skydivers had things happen.  Bad, horrible, and dull things.  But things. 

This "movie" was a people sitting in the dark telling ghost stories.  Not to anybody else, to the camera.  Not in that "Tales from the Crypt" style, where they say they're teling you a story then cutting to an actual movie, but just sitting there talking to the camera in the dark trying to be scary, with no plot, no effects, no real camera work, nothing.  They weren't even good stories. 

I really wish I could remember the name of it now. 

Darkstown strutters. Oh lord, it was stupid, offensive and ridiculous without a single redeeming frame.


Leonard, part 6: What a mess.

THE MAIZE, released to DVD as DARK HARVEST 2: THE MAIZE.  Two hours of a the writer/director/producer/editor/star walking around a corn maze yelling "Girls! Girls! Girls? Are you in here?"

Made locally, he was recently arrested on charges of tax fraud. 

I'm trying to place the name but can't come up with it.  That one $1 DVD with the quasi undead civil war soldier.  I watched it once and $1 was rather generous to pay for it.  However, sadly I can't come up with the name now. 

OVERSEXED RUGSUCKERS FROM MARS was HORRIBLE!!  I watch some terrible stuff, but that movie was easily the worst thing I've seen the last few years.

Did it star lance henrickson? If so it might have been "Near dawn".

Was this a Trama type of film?  I have a Civil War zombie on a cover.  I will look through my movies.

John

This is rather simple to me.  The worst film ever made is Monster A-Go Go.  There is nothing redeemable about this film at all.  Everything is wrong with the film.  Bad acting, bad sound effects, bad lighting, bad story, bad continuity, bad effects, bad directing, pointless scenes, bad characters, bad soundtrack, and biggest kick in the nuts to me is the fact that this movie has bad film quality.  Say what you will about Pocket Ninjas and Red Zone Cuba, at least the film quality is fine.

Overall, Monster A-Go Go fails at everything, even the techincal basics and that is why I have to say that it is the worst film ever made and that there is nothing that can be salvage from it.

My vote goes for "Kickboxer from Hell". Seemed like 2 movies rehashed together to make one, and the chick playing satan was really funny, but it just made no sense at all, and we couldn't get through it in 2 attempts. It gets my vote

Worst I remember seeing was Creepshow 3

I think it's Death Valley: The Revenge of Bloody Bill.

Can't pick just one....
Lurkers
Scream (1981?)
The Last Slumber Party
Shock Chamber

I liked that!


Also, in terms of scale the Madonna remake of swept away was really a stupendous bellyflop.  I mean, if you see a budget as representing how high off the diving board you are belly flopping, it's a big big splash

Lovesick Sicklove  :thumbdown:
DeadGirl  :thumbdown:
Baise Moi  :thumbdown:

Those films leave a very bad taste in my mouth.  :bluesad:

You're supposed to WATCH movies, not eat them.  Do I have to explain everything?

It does have a catchy title. 

the mosnter a go go/ pysched by the 4 d witch DVD is among the most harmful products ever released.

my votes are "Syngenor" or "Revenge Of The Radioactive Reporter", especially the latter..no redeeming qualities, just a Toxie rip-off.

Hey guys.  New here to the forums, but not badmovies  :smile:  I had to invade this topic, but I have to say anything by Bill Rebane.  Especially "Invasion From Inner Earth".  Weird thing is, it has a certain charm that makes you watch it more than once just to remind yourself that's it's the worst thing you've ever seen.  Remember that title... "Invasion From Inner Earth".   :teddyr:

The day before I went for a gastroscopy I had to stay sober and wasn't even allowed to drink water. So I spent the day in bed chewing on a pen while reducing my pile of unwatched DVDs. Invasion from Inner Earth was one of them, and a real chore to watch. I actually bit my pen in half because the movie was so incredibly dull. For me Bill Rebane = suffering except for 2 or 3 of his movies.

A long time ago I went to the old vid shop where I'd rent random horror movies and saw this one in a big green box.  It was the Regal release that had the cool picture of the alien on the front snarling at me.  My one buddy was with me and suggested that maybe the movie was so messed up that they didn't put any pictures on the back.  That was a great day.

I haven't checked back on this thread in a while but thanks Cthulhu that was the one.  That was beyond horrid.  I mean even Ron Jeremy in that awful Hell's Highway was more entertaining. 

BATMAN & ROBIN

Not sure if this gem was mentioned.. (I didn't have the time to wade through all the posts.. But for me it's got to be:

ANKLE BITERS!!

A movie made with no budget about midget vampires roaming around in the daylight.. And a white boy Blade wanna be with a midget sidekick.. It's like watching a trainwreck. You just can't look away.

A handful that should challenge for the title..

WILD WOMEN OF WONGO
MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE
THE CREEPING TERROR
DROP DEAD FRED
GARBAGE PAIL KIDS: THE MOVIE

Superbabies 2- Dear god, This IS WORST than Monster A Go Go, Manos, The Creeping Terror COMBINED! :buggedout: wanted to bleach my eyeballs after that boat wreck!

While Vampires vs Zombie is really close. God that film was just awful.

My vote has to go for Asylum of Terror. There is no plot. The characters don't get names. The video quality is middling. The sound quality is atrocious. The blood looks like liquid concealer. It is about the most torturous movie I have ever put myself through.

It is stored in safe containment away from the rest of my collection so that it's taint does not spread. Also so that no one accidentally watches it.

Let me throw Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Paranormal Activity out there as two of the worst films I have yet to watch all the way through.

I guess it is all a matter of taste; I thought CRYSTAL SKULL was better than TEMPLE OF DOOM and thoroughly entertaining; PARANORMAL ACTIVITY was an excellent little indie horror that really worked for me.

On the other hand, MACGRUBER and LAND OF THE LOST were painfully bad - I really think I would rather get a root canal than sit thru either of them again.

"Dark Harvest." It is the worst-made movie ever? No. But it is the only one that's ever actually p*ssed me off. Why? The prologue was actually interesting! I wanted to see what happened with the farmer who sacrificed people to his crop-gods and then used their corpses to make his scarecrows! But no...we go straight from something interesting to boring teens who can't act in a farmhouse getting sliced up by people in bad scarecrow costumes.

You know your movie's bad when the general male audience says that even the lesbians couldn't save it.

Did I mention Night of Horror? If I didn't, let me sum up my experince: ARARHGHGARAGRHAG MAKE THEPAIN GOAWAY ASFJAPJGDPS  NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Then about 3 hours of crying in the dark.

and i found paranormal activity so painfully boring, even watching it with the rifftrax wasn't enough to get me through a viewing.
maybe it is just a matter of taste.

My foot goes for "Kottentail". Some ultra low budget shlock that even Troma wouldn't touch. Had an awesome front cover with a rabbit man creature, but in reality it was just a guy with bunny ears on. It had some chicks dressed as playboy bunnies as heroines, but it was dire. The only film I've watched recently which I fast forwarded all the way through.

Strictly from an acting standpoint, I'd have to say "Troll 2." Those people are horrible actors, especially the dad. For the most incoherent storyline, "Hard Rock Zombies" doesn't make one damn bit of sense. For poor production value, and continuity errors, almost any old 50's sci-fi movie has that (and not just the ones made by Ed Wood). "Motorhome Massacre" contains all of the these elements, bad acting, bad writting, bad FX, bad cinematography it's just plain bad. However, I find all of these movies enjoyable. I agree with John Waters that the only true bad movies are the boring ones.

Worst film ever must be either (and yes, I've seen both)...."Killdozer" or "Baby's Day Out". :bluesad:

Oh wait, I forgot.....I saw "Skyline" that would have to be it. :hatred:

PSYCHED BY THE 4-D WITCH is horrendus.
I DISMEMBER MAMA-for such an awesome title-whatta stinker.
WHEN WOMEN LOST THEIR TALES is heartrending.

I tend to agree..  I've seen a number of microbudgeted films (films with a $10,000 or less budget, even seen a couple with budgets in the $100-$1000 range, and one with a budget under $100) that are better in basically every way, even technically.  And Monster A-Go Go has money in it too - it's just poorly spent.  It was shot on film, 35MM, so in adjusted dollars it would probably have a budget in the six figure range.  Films with that kind of money tend to have at least a small degree of polish or SOMETHING to compensate.  Manos looks great in comparison, and the dialogue is much more intelligible. 

Also, for mega budget productions ($50 million plus, I guess) Batman and Robin is the worst I've seen.  God that film is atrocious in every conceivable way.  It's simply mind bogglingly awful - terrible production design, terrible costumes, terrible color choices, bad fight scenes, awful dialogue, just EVERYTHING is bad.  You know when they say everything came together just right, as if lightning struck?  A film like Casablanca or Airplane!, where it's the pinnacle of practically everyone involved's career?  Batman and Robin is the exact opposite.  Lightning didn't strike within a 200 mile radius of the set.

Several nick zedd movies come to mind, such as 'Geek Maggot Bingo' or 'War is Menstrual Envy' It may be that the first was intended as farce, but that doesn't make it anymore watchable. Though, I'm sure the absolute worst movie ever made, if ever found, would have been turkish and made in the late 70s. 

But for soul killing dreariness, "Satans Supper"  the only even glimpse of entertainment value was in the last 3 minutes, the rest of the film was drool inducing dullness and poor lighting.

I was actually looking for that film today !

Titanic: The Legend Goes On. A.k.a., Titanic the Animated Musical. It had bad acting, ripped off several Disney movies at once, made fun of a tragedy, had bad acting, bad animation, bad plot, everything was WRONG. NOTHING was RIGHT.

Also they had talking animals and a RAPPING DOG!
They also say on the box this is the TRUE story of what happened on the Titanic.

I also suspect the director thought...

There were clowns at the Holocaust, Everyone on the Hindenburg burst out into musical number, and 9/11 had people that act like they're on the show OFFICE before the crash.

Bah!  You haven't seen hell yet.  You have not witness the evil that is The Legend of the Titanic.  Your mind will never be the same after seeing this.  I believe this is the proper phrase to describe it: What has been seen cannot be unseen.

Girls Nite Out-Who thought a slasher in a bear costume was a good idea?

... me.   :bluesad:

Not saying it was a good movie mind you, but the idea is plenty fun. 

Hey, Nick Cage made punching women in a bear costume work, so why not?

haven't seen it, but The Devils sounds horrible: Nuns orgies, Priest being burned on stakes.....where's the disgusted smiley when you need it.....

Fun movie, never dull, nowhere near the worst. 

Ever hear of "C Me Dance?"  I'm not sure I could argue it's the WORST movie ever made, but it's definitely fighting for that spot.  The problem is that it's so hilarious in its badness.  Where as Troll 2 or The Room get so bad they're honestly painful, this movie is bad but it makes you laugh your ass off.  Seriously.  It's even up on YouTube, the entire movie.  0% on Rotten Tomatoes is worth celebrating.  Especially since it's a religious movie and  some sites try to pass it off as a great work of art.  It's too funny.  I wanted to put up a link but for whatever retarded reason I'm not allowed.  So find it yourself or message me.  I even found a good blog entry on it.

I agree. HIGHLY offensive, but entertaining.

PM me the link and I'll put it up. You can't post links because you don't have enough posts. Andrew does that to help curb the spamming. Once you've posted a bunch, you'll be able to do so.

After reading that it had a "rapping dog", I can't understand how that could ever be a bad movie?!

Bah!  A rapping shark is where it is at!

A rapping Dog AND a Rapping shark? and here I thought the low was the dog wearing a FRIGGEN JERSEY! :hatred:

Garbage Pail Kids: The Movie. Truly one of the most loathsome things ever made by human beings.

Freddy Got Fingered. Even as a child I hated this movie and was offended by it which makes me dread watching it as an adult.

HO... LY CRAP! Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was on today. I watched the last hour.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? That was NOT the Transformers I know. I did'nt even know I was watching Transformers untill someone said the word "Decepticons". Man, that was bad... well with that said...

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen gets my vote for the WORST movie ever, even over Mario Bros. the movie!

Note* Hollywood PLEASE stop making Transformer movies. Please and thank you. I mean... if you have to make more and I know you will... take this game Intro for an example. Get a clue.

Terrible question -

Utter Drivel -

If this "Question" could ever be answered, then Herr Andrew's site would not exist -

We LOVE - ALLLL of the "Worst Movies Ever Made" - Some of us have even appeared in them . . .

peter johnson/denny good lawd dese yungstahs don't know nuffin . . .crane

I won't count movies that I can't actually make it through.  So, eliminating those, I would have to say The Apple.  I can't even begin to imagine the amount of drugs that the filmmakers must have taken to think this movie was
A. Conceptually a good idea and,
B. A coherent piece of cinema

The sheer number of senseless song and dance numbers alone qualify this turkey, along with the incredibly elaborate costumes and makeup that every person is wearing in every scene.  Although I do not actually believe that this movie has a plot at all really, somehow it kept me mesmerized through the whole thing. 

My personal "worst movie ever" has to be "The Crow: City of Angels". I've seen a number of terrible movies and none of them comes to the "this thing sucks" more than when I watched that terrible, terrible movie.

Every time I think movies can't get any worse, I uncover another really bad one.  But I still say CURSE OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN is the worst I've ever seen.

It struck me as amazing how we all keep mining and mining trying to find the perfectly worst movie ever made...
...Must it be with ARCH HALL JR.?!!!  :question: :wink: :bouncegiggle: :lookingup:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjkV70k-3bE

I think Arch's movies are goofy and fun to watch.  Same with Ed Wood movies.  So, I could never call these the worst ever because they have plenty of entertainment value.  That's why I lean toward movies that are bad AND boring on my worst movie lists.  CURSE OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN, CONQUEST, WIRED, DUNE . . . no entertainment value here.  Just snooze material.

I think we have a new contender.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Serbian_Film

The kicker is that the film is marketed as a horror film, not a film that has a political message behind it.

Don't count me in as "we". A Serbian Film might be many things but certainly not the worst  :smile:

Ahh Dune.  That really is one of the worst movies ever.  No wonder David Lynch made them remove his name from it.  Nothing redeeming about that one. 

I feel that way about Ed Wood movies too though.  I know as a bad movie fan that I am supposed to like them, but I just find them boring. 

What's all the hate on Dune?

Also, I have to mention Night of horror again. I cannot stress enough how bad this movie is.
Take a look at it's IMDB page:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0202496/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0202496/)
Look at it. LOOK AT IT.

You can get it on stagevu.com
If you dare.

I read a review on Agony Booth, and although I haven't even watched the film I cannot see how what was reviewed can be anything but the worst movie ever. Unless, of course, the reviewer there secretly left out about 2 hours of footage where something actually happens and it's utterly epic XD

EDIT: My computer is playing funny tricks on me! When I went to highlight your web address to copy-paste it, my machine suddenly froze up and went all gray as though it was trying to prevent me from watching the movie! Ain't that adorable? :smile:

I saw it during its theatrical release.  All I remember is my ass was killing me from sitting so long in the uncomfortable theater seat and I kept thinking, "WHEN is something going to happen?  WHEN is this movie going to end?"  

Dune is one of my favorite movies. I don't understand why everyone hates it so much. I've always thought of it as a good long movie to sit down and relax to. Everything from the story line, quality of the acting, and quality of the overall movie sets and costumes are just fine. If you want "Bad" look no further that Scott Shaw. Anything made by this guy is painfully bad.

It has been a while, so I don't remember exactly what the problem was, and I'm certainly not going to watch it again to jog my memory. 

What pops into my head when I think of Dune is Kyle McLachlan wearing a terrible costume with a fake-pensive look on his face as his thoughts are communicated to the audience via a 5 minute voiceover. 

Thanks for the tip about Night of Horror.  The synopsis for that on IMDB looks like someone randomly cut and pasted from a bunch of different synopsis without looking at them first.  I'll have to check it out.   I still find it hard to believe that it is worse than The Apple though.  I'll let you know after  I watch it. 

It is trying to protect you.
Also, great review on the agony booth. The journal of pain helped me to get through it.

 :bouncegiggle:

I feel your pain.
I still haven't finished it. Its so dull and slow (I'm pretty sure they showed stuff happening in the trailer). Something tells me that if it was well written, it could've been a space epic like LOTR.
But it wasn't well written.

Its kinda tainted Dune for me. If there's a remake, I'll be slightly biased against it.

Ok Cthulhu I finally watched Night of Horror and the verdict is.....
it is a TERRIBLE movie.  Truly abysmal. My review is here if you're interested:
http://thebestbadmovies.com/?p=150

However, I still maintain that The Apple is worse than Night of Horror.  Really.  That's how bad it is.  It has elaborate costumes and horrible song and dance numbers.  It is hard to believe that the filmmakers weren't joking when they made it, but there is no evidence that they were. 

Mmm, I think the worst movie I can remember watching (well, until I couldn't take it any longer) would be Dracula 3000.
That movie would get my vote any day.

I don't know if it's the all around worst but I couldn't believe Night of the Lepus. I don't care how stoned you are those bunnies are just....bunnies!

But they're super big !

I mean, y'know, really, really big !

Isn't it the sort of thing nightmares are made of?
Bunnies that are large!

Gives me the chills.

What the hey, NINJA BACHELOR PARTY deserves a nod in this thread.

Best Korean Ninja Master with a fake cardboard mustache played by an American High School Student - EVER!

Doggett- they do not give you the chills. it's just regular bunnies going through little model farm things.

Don't know if this was mentioned before (by others or me), but here goes:
NIGHTMARE WEEKEND!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLhFgJd64nQ

Yeah, it's Troma, but not in the self aware "look at how AWFUL we are" Troma, seems like an attempt at being a "serious" effort a la Girl's School Screamers (another stinker).

And isn't that what true horror really is ?

 :question:

SCARLET FRY'S NIGHTMARE ALLEY.  I received a screener copy for Radiation-Scarred Reviews, and then was asked to cover it over at The Blood Sprayer as well.  88 minutes of pure, unrelenting fecal assault on the senses.  A CREEPSHOW like anthology film, NIGHTMARE ALLEY crams in seven/eight short films, plus wrap-around segments introduced by Scarlet Fry, looking like Dr. Caligari and surrounded by Halloween props.  The short films range from dull to nonsensical to bordering on hate crimes. 

When reviewed it, the producer/director of the film, Scarlet Fry himself, Walter Ruether, attacked me under the name "annonymous" in the comments box, calling me a fag, a homo, and declaring me unfit to review his p**s.

BIRDEMIC:SHOCK AND TERROR!

need i say more?

There's different criteria for what is the "worst"

Professional Studio produced Movie: Eagle Eye, just absolutely stupid.

Shot on film schlock: Blood Freak... what else needs to be said about this movie?

DTV shot on Video, that somehow manages to find distribution: Nearly all of them.

The only thing wrong with picking AOTKT as the worst ever is that the film's makers were pretty obviously trying to make a bad film. IMHO, it's much worse (and usually funnier) when they're dead serious, whether you're talking Ed Wood or Columbia Pictures.

Motocross Zombies From Hell comes to mind now....

Certainly not Nukie  :bouncegiggle:

You can watch the whole thing on youtube!

I B []D[][]V[][][]D[][]\[] DAT SH!T

"I'd say EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC is probably the worst movie ever made."

I recently watched this. I must say, while I was kind of into it throughout the film, it just made very little sense to me, and seemed like they tried to jam way too many things in it. One positive was how cute Linda Blair looked. Other than that, the movie was lame.

For me, the worst movie ever from my childhood is a 3 way tie between Mario Brothers, Street Fighter and TMNT 3. They all sucked so much.

I will also throw a vote in for Hudson Hawk.

MEDUSA has gotta be up there.  Poorly shot, no discernable story, George Hamilton being a total jackass - and it has nothing to do with Medusa.  Does have a couple fun scenery-chewing minutes from Cameron Mitchell though.

Monster A Go-Go also needs to be in discussion, if it hasn't been already. The MST3K crew said it was officially the worst movie they ever saw while doing the show and I think that speaks volumes.

Yes, absolutely true!  Of course ARCH HALL JR. is fun to watch.  And, I was looking for the perfectly worst movie ever made... movies like EEGAH! with new recording star ARCH HALL, JR. are so much more fun to talk about!!!   :teddyr:

Arch Hall Jr. had another one some people forget...ever heard of Wild Guitar? That's actually pretty good because you get to hear him play some fairly kickass guitar in it.   

Looking back, Arch was, according to his critics, one of those California pretty boys that definitely had that rockabilly look, but like many artists in that time frame, had to contend with already-established stars and bands, not to mention his movies not doing any good for him either.

Anyhow, my vote for worst movie? Being me, I'd say Robot Monster. There's one scene where you can actually see a hand holding a model spaceship on a rod behind a black screen!  You can easily see the hand trying to make the model ship fly.  :bouncegiggle:

That's new recording star ARCH HALL, JR. to you!  :buggedout:
