Bad Movies / Re: YOUR Worst Films of the 21...
Last post by claws - Today at 03:52:30 AMQuote from: M.10rda on Today at 12:22:26 AM(...And JASON X, which I enjoyed.)
The online discourse around Jason X is a total mystery. If you listen to the fans, 'everybody' loves it—yet it's nowhere to be found on 'Best of Horror' lists, and the ratings have been abysmal forever.
I honestly don't think the supporters have made their case yet. Is it a masterpiece of camp, or is it actually a good movie? Personally, I could never get into it. Even as someone who is usually easy to please, 'Jason in Space' remains a toilet clogger.

Bad Movies / Re: YOUR Worst Films of the 21...
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 12:22:26 AMThat's a real Rogues Gallery right there, Claws... some terrible bad films from the 00s! (...And JASON X, which I enjoyed.)
Okay, I'll nominate another one that's a little distinct from that crew and really sticks with me after 23 years: Stephen Daldry's THE HOURS (2002). I still remember that agonizing 2.5 "hours" in the movie theater all too clearly. Nicole Kidman won an Oscar - she and her fake nose are decent. Everything else about it - Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Ed Harris, Jeff Daniels, et al; the script, the direction, the cinematography, and especially the editing - are stultifying, mortifying, justifiably career-ending. (I don't know that Jeff Daniels ever made another movie, actually.) I could say I've seen daytime soap operas that are more sincere, authentic, and compelling - but the truth is I've never watched an episode of a daytime soap that caused agonizing boredom and discomfort like this movie did. On top of all that, THE HOURS inadvertently accomplishes more profound gay defamation than any Estus Pirkle telethon ever could.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by indianasmith - December 30, 2025, 11:22:22 PMTHE ANACONDA (2025) Took my daughters and son-in-law to see this movie tonight and laughed harder than I have at any movie in a long time. Jack Black and Paul Rudd absolutely carry this far-fetched tale of amateur filmmakers battling a giant snake in the Amazon delta as they try to remake the 90's classic. Not a lot of scares but a ton of laughs! 5/5

Bad Movies / Re: YOUR Worst Films of the 21...
Last post by claws - December 30, 2025, 09:05:44 PM1. Alone in the Dark (2005)
A chaotic script and incoherent action scenes bury any potential the game adaptation might have had.
2. Hellraiser: Revelations (2011)
A rushed, low‑budget production that feels like a placeholder rather than a real Hellraiser film.
3. Feardotcom (2002)
Its muddled plot and murky visuals make the central mystery nearly impossible to care about.
4. The Fog (2005)
A lifeless remake that strips away the atmosphere and tension that made the original memorable.
5. Halloween: Resurrection (2002)
A gimmicky reality‑TV premise undermines the franchise's tone and turns Michael Myers into a punchline.
6. The Haunting of Molly Hartley (2008)
A teen‑horror setup with no scares, no stakes, and an ending that feels unearned.
7. Prom Night (2008)
A bloodless, tension‑free slasher that feels more like a CW drama than a horror film.
8. Zombie Strippers! (2008)
Its campy premise wears thin quickly, leaving only repetitive jokes and cheap shock value.
9. Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000)
A confused meta‑sequel that abandons the original's strengths for messy psychological chaos.
10. One Missed Call (2008)
A bland remake that replaces J‑horror dread with generic jump scares and flat performances.
11. The Devil Inside (2012)
An infamous non‑ending and found‑footage clichés sink what little tension the film builds.
12. Boogeyman (2005)
A concept with potential is wasted on CGI‑heavy scares and a paper‑thin story.
13. A Sound of Thunder (2005)
Laughably bad CGI and a clunky script derail its time‑travel premise.
14. The Gallows (2015)
A found‑footage slog with unlikable characters and a twist that doesn't justify the journey.
15. Ultraviolet (2006)
Style overwhelms substance in a visually noisy but narratively hollow sci‑fi action film.
16. The Grudge (2019)
A grim, disjointed reboot that mistakes misery for atmosphere and never builds real tension.
17. Jason X (2001)
A knowingly silly entry that leans so hard into camp it loses any sense of horror.
18. Skyline (2010)
Cool creature designs can't save a story that feels like a first draft stretched to feature length.
19. Skinwalkers (2006)
A werewolf movie with weak effects and a plot that never finds momentum.
20. The Butterfly Effect 2 (2006)
A sequel in name only, recycling the premise without emotional weight or originality.
21. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)
Dark, muddy cinematography and thin characters make the iconic monsters nearly impossible to enjoy.
22. Captivity (2007)
A torture‑porn entry that mistakes cruelty for suspense and never develops its characters.
23. Paranormal Activity 4 (2012)
A tired sequel that adds little to the mythology and delivers few memorable scares.
24. The Return (2005)
A slow, unfocused supernatural thriller that never builds to anything meaningful.
25. Lost Souls (2000)
A dreary, sluggish possession film that confuses moodiness with actual storytelling.

Last post by M.10rda - December 30, 2025, 07:15:51 PMI could probably make a list if I tried. I could make a list if I tried. MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING, THE SOUND OF FREEDOM, and HILLBILLY ELEGY would be so far above (or below) every other title on the list it probably doesn't even make sense for me to continue!
