Bill Rebane is my choice. Due to the Mill Creek sets I have seen (at least part of) his films "The Game", "Twisters Revenge", "The Demons of Ludlow", and "Invasion from Inner Earth". Of these there is a sense of dullness that I have never seen replicated in other films. Unless he has some hidden gems in his filmography that I'm unaware of I would say he is the worst.

Herschell Gordon Lewis' movies are SUPPOSED to be bad, but they're also dull and horribly acted (more so than you may have expected), with actors/actresses clearly reading their lines on a desk/just off screen.

Godfrey Ho is great. me and a friend watched 'Ultimate Ninja' the other night. non stop laughing from start to finish

It is blatantly 2 different films stuck together, and so is the other film I've got by him 'Ninja Terminator'.

I think Michael Bay embodies everything I hate about movies.

There are some truly terrible filmakers but the worst ones I would add, seem to combine with the worst producers. To make more than one of these Gems is truly impressive.

How Ed Wood or Andy Sidaris did it is awe inspiring.

If he'd directed more films I'd say Coleman Francis. But he only directed a few so the damage was pretty much contained. I feel the same about Len Wiseman. I haven't seen an M. Night Shyamalan film in years. And Jason Friedberg
who directed some of those Scary moive, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans fiascos.

I think I'd have to agree here....his films are over-blown,bombastic and thinly-plotted. I think the Transformers movies say this very clearly....IMO.

I always thought this title belonged to Uwe Boll until I saw his film Darfur aka Attack On Darfur which was filmed here in 2009: I bawled my eyes out at the end.

I couldn't pick just one so I'd saying the following people all share that spot: Coleman Francis, Uwe Boll, Herschell Gordon Lewis, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer.

I would've put Peter Jackson, but Bad Taste redeems him in my eyes. Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and Signs does the same for Shamalongadingong.

I still stand by my man, Andy Milligan.

William Castle is like Ed Woods less crazy, equally untalented brother.

JaseSF · August 14, 2012, 09:58:24 PM

Agree with Raffine, it's got to be Andy Milligan.

JoeTheDestroyer · August 15, 2012, 01:20:45 AM

I have yet to see anything from Milligan, but my gut says I would probably pick him.

Personally, the one I can't stand is Brad Sykes (responsible for many Brain Damage movies)...

Don't get me wrong,folks...I LIKE Godfrey Ho's movies,for the most part-they swing from incredibly boring to insanly "WTF is that all about?!" like a pendulum-perfect party fodder!
NINJA TERMINATOR remains a BAD movie classic!
