"The neptune factor" is an incredibly cheap looking movie for one that was actually cinematically released.

Now see if you can find a cheaper looking movie that was actually in theaters...

For a while I thought "Destination inner space" might give this a run for its money but no, at least it offered us an original monster, all TNF had was enlarged fish.

Ugh.. to me THE CREEPING TERROR stands out.  It was made even cheaper with the audio lost.

Yeah,  but at leastmit was in B&W.  It may be just me but I think a cheap color movie looks cheaper than a cheap b&w movie.  Seriously,  anyone else notice this?

I've seen LOTS of horrifically bad DTV movies, but I do believe that JEBEDIAH'S AXE had at least a limited cinematic release.  It was shot on location about 20 miles from my house near one of my favorite arrowhead hunting spots!

Part of "Escape from new York" was filmed a similar distance from me.

I've seen many s**tty movies and I thought I actually saw the worst cinema had to offer...

...until I saw Birdemic: Shock and Terror.

NOTHING can top that, I'm sorry.

Possibly Tales of Robin Hood (1951), Cosmos: War of the Planets (and it's sequels), Teenagers from Outer Space, one of the movies Larry Buchanan made for AIP, some early 30's movies starring Rin-Tin-Tin Jr., or The Vampire Bat (1933).

I've seen bits of Manos, The Atomic Brain, & Teenage Zombies, but not the whole films. Fairly sure they'd qualify if I'd seen the whole things.

Oh! I forgot about They, aka Invasion from Inner Earth. That has to be the cheapest-looking movie I've seen. It has:

-A mysterious light, which is just someone just outside the camera's view shining a flashlight at a wall.
-A paper-plate space ship, shot in closeup, so close you can see the ribs on the plate.
-Another spaceship that looks like a Styrofoam ball & ring covered in aluminum foil. Also shot as a closeup.
-Amateur actors.
-A bunch of people running up-and down a street screaming, while orange smoke bombs simulate some sort of disaster.
-No real sets; everything's shot on location in a couple of cabins in the woods.
-A cheap synthesized rip-off of The Good The Bad & The Ugly's theme song.

Let's compare They to Plan 9 from Outer Space. Plan 9 had pro actors, decent stock music, actual sets, matte paintings, real (off the shelf) models, superimposition, and a cool sound effect for alien metal.  They beats Plan 9 as the cheapest looking movie I've seen!

TEENAGE ZOMBIES is dam cheap.
But SANTA AND THE ICE CREAM BUNNY is not low budget- it's NO budget. Cheapest dam think I ever seen.
BLOOD FREAK is dam cheap. Was that mask made of paper mache? The turkey Hershel ate was likely the most expensive prop in the film. Unless they were smoking real weed-which seems likely.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
