Quote from: Rev. Powell on December 31, 2025, 10:03:37 AMgiving them 5/5 like they were "Casablanca" or something just feels wrong.

Naturally I concur!  :bouncegiggle:   

But sincerely I agree with Rev's 3.5 yardstick. I just gave FANTASY OF DEER WARRIOR a 3.5, and by Bad Movies standards, it's a "must-see" on par with an Ed Wood classic. Its banality and ineptitude were grueling to endure at times, but you could say the same about MANOS - nevertheless, both are ultimately rewarding to watch if you want to laugh at a movie instead of just with it.

(A 5/5 "Good" Movie like LAWRENCE OF ARABIA or ANDREI RUBLEV can also be grueling to endure at times - but per the director's intention and with commensurate reward.)

If I'm to give a "Bad" Movie a 5/5, it needs to transcend somehow. I think I awarded a 5/5 to TEEN ALIEN in January or February of this year. It's "Bad", for sure, however on a whole different level. It's hypnotically incompetent, and joyful in its commitment to poorly achieving the stoopid thing it does.

MONSTER-A-GO-GO might be a 4.5 for sheer audacity. I really admire that damn movie though I'll probably never watch it w/o riffs ever again.

Wake Up Dead Man. A Knives Out Mysteru (2025)

I liked the first one, and really enjoyed the second, but this is a slog. For starters, the first half hour is essentially one big infodump. Secondly, Rian Johnson wants to make a point about weaponised religion. Now this is an important point to make, but it hardly adds momentum to the movie. Thirdly, there is no antagonist. In an ordinary murder mystery, there is always the threat that the killer will strike back and/or murder again to prevent getting caught. Here the protagonists are never in any jeopardy or under pressure. Finally, in the first installments the suspects were entertaining caricatures. Here too few of them are.

People seem to like it, though.

Last post by Rev. Powell - December 31, 2025, 10:25:01 AM
Some of these will probably be some people's favorites, lol. A lot of them are just boring "arty" experiments. From "best" to worst:

Deadball (2011)
The Devil's Rejects (2005)
Eyes of Dread (2023)
MacGruber (2010)
Mother Schmuckers (2021)
Atmo HorroX (2016)
One-Eyed Monster (2008)
The One You Feed (2020)
Caverna (2023)
Used and Borrowed Time (2020)
Odissea della Morte (2018)
Vampire Burt's Serenade (2020)
Verotika (2019) (Glenn Danzig. 1.9 on IMDb!)
Big Money Rustlas (2010) (Insane Clown Posse. Insanely bad. Even ICP fans couldn't pull its rating up to more than 4.0 on IMDb)
Locked In (2023)
Payday (2018) (I appear in this as an extra, so I feel qualified to knock it)
Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005) (Tyler Perry, ugh)
Alien Paranormal: Bigfoot, UFOs and the Men in Black (2013) (fact-free crapumentary)
The Secret Society for Slow Romance (2022) (nice director, dull movie)
Spider Baby, or The Maddest Story Ever Told (2024) (insulting remake of a classic)
Way Down in Chinatown (2014)
Loren Cass (2006)
A Noisy Delivery (2013) (intentionally irritating)
Bedways (2010) (boring even with explicit sex scenes)
Vixen Highway 2006: It Came from Uranus! (2006) (it's terrible. 1.2 on IMDb. Bonus bad points: it's over 4 hours long!)

Special dishonorable mention: "After Last Season" (2009). It's probably the worst made and worst conceived movie on here. But even though it never really reaches "so-bad-it's-good" levels, it's strangely fascinating in its badness.

It is hard. I think "Plan 9" or "The Room" are "must sees" for anyone, but giving them 5/5 like they were "Casablanca" or something just feels wrong. I tend to give the most entertaining bad movies around a 3.5 if I'm recommending for a general audience, with a note that bad movie fans will rate them higher.
