Obscureness based on IMDb votes "( )". I only included movies, no video or TV. My ten most obscure are:
1. Blood Rites 2003 (23)
2. Siege of Evil 2005 (30)
3. Here Comes a Vampire 1990 (70)
4. Black Mamba 1974 (89)
5. Kung Fu Fever 1979 (94)
6. Texas Payback 1995 (102)
7. The Dark Side 1987 (108)
8. Top Cop 1990 (119)
9. Hell Hole 1978 (121)
10. Body Shop 2008 (126)
Out of those, I rented The Dark Side and Top Cop back in VHS days. Body Shop is a surprisingly solid and violent C-Movie, starring William Smith and Robert Z'Dar.
I was thinking it's probably AFTER LAST SEASON, but it has 8.6K votes. It's still one of the rarest movies I own, because I have an actual DVD of it. Not sure how many discs were made, but I could sell my copy for $300 on Ebay if I wanted to.
I imagine some of the movies on those 50 DVD set collections I have would be the most obscure, but I don't think I'd look them all up.
I have Mystery of the Leaping Fish on vhs
CHAMPION KILLER (1994) (48)
also probably the worst made film I've seen, although there's some hilarity to be had. found in a pound shop iirc
edit, ok here's my old 'review':
"not sure how or why I ended up getting this on dvd but it has stayed with me as THE worst movie I've ever seen. incredible jawdropping ineptness from another dimension of crap, multiplied by awful, to the power of not very good actually."
don't think anything else I own would have under a few hundred ratings
RIDE THE HIGH WIND and SHANGANI PATROL are probably the most obscure films I have in my collection together with most of the apartheid era films which weren't released overseas in their day.
I'd have to go over my DVD collection, but offhand by memory:
Hard Rock Zombies
Redneck Zombies
Uhh...
Science Team (2014)... Never watched it...
Pantheon Black (2010)
Merc Force (2003)
Final Flesh (2009) has only 452 ratings.
Doggiewoggiez! Poochiewoochiez! (2012) has only 215 ratings.
I probably have some more obscure ones that I got as screeners, not sure if I should count them. For example, the director sent me a copy of "Mr. Sadman" (2009) unsolicited; it got 77 ratings.
Likely SWAMP OF THE LOST MONSTER (1957) which is a Mexican movie in which a cowboy fights a gill monster.
Pretty lame, actually.

I wouldn't mind seeing that 😌😉🐢
^I got it on VHS at a flea market decades ago. I watched it once. That was enough. More cowboy romance than monster mayhem.
It wasn't dubbed either, so I had no clue wtf they were saying.

Sat through this one not too long ago....
Pretty corny gunfight early on...
another one I have on DVD-also bought at a flea market and also not dubbed is the Mexican the BODY SNATCHERS (1957) which has a wrestler fighting a mad doctor and a monster. It' ok. The Monster is scary looking at least!

It's a good watch, too---THE HOLY MOUNTAIN recreated with video and movie footage of dogs---though some might argue it's not really a movie, just a collection of clips.

So, somebody saw The Holy Mountain and thought 'that needs some extra weirdness'?

Never heard of them
I used to own something called SQUIRMFEST (1989), but Trashed it after one viewing.
From HorrorNews.Net:
"She starts out by eating a dish of noodles and worms before moving on to playing the piano. Once she starts playing, she gets a nice enema and squirts it all over the floor. She is then forced to eat it. But it gets worse...Lots of other enema stuff before the grand finale in which she mixes HUGE c**k-roaches, maggots, worms, and her own urine in a blender and then actually drinks it all! If this doesn't make you sick, you're not human!"
It's on the Internet Archive, for some ungodly purpose-
https://archive.org/details/squirmfest-1989-1-1
WARNING: This film could be dangerous to your mental and physical health!
It has 37 ratings on the IMDB.

They're not as good as Rosa Studios.
well there's a movie I did once have on DVD which seems to not exist on the internet. it was called DEADEND (all one word). that was definitely the title. era was very early 2000s, or maybe late 90s. my recollection is it was about 2 guys, possibly cops or ex cops, with some kind of revenge theme going on, but the film was slow and uneventful - yet unusual enough in tone to stand out a bit... I remember me and my brother even talking about how 'DEADEND' was supposed to be pronounced - i.e. as in "dead end", or "deadnd"
it doesn't seem to exist on imdb or anywhere else, which is really confusing me. tried a few alternate spellings but I'm sure it was DEADEND
