Worst (most badly made, laughable) bad movie you've seen?

DistantJ · March 05, 2007, 06:25:16 PM

What would you say was the worst (or best, depending on how you see it) bad movie you've seen?

As in, the cheapest, most laughable, badly made, badly acted, most unprofessional movie?

And why?

Mine is possibly Don't Go Near The Park. A lot of people call it the worst movie, or "best BAD movie" ever.

It's absolutely hilarious.

I did a review on it with some screen captures, animated gifs and audio clips, if anybody wants to read it:

So what are some of yours?

DRACULA 3000: INFINITE DARKNESS. I've seen many but this is the most laughable one I've seen without MST3K riffs. It basically makes fun of itself.

the godawful movie that is "The Jar" has to be THE WORST movie i have ever seen.

Right oof the top of my head...? PSYCHED by the 4-D WITCH...

probably Starcrash. Of couse there is also Plan 9 from Outer Space.

In my case, it's probably JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH from 1989. Weird thing is I'd kind of like to own this on DVD, which has has an inappropriate cover that has everyone confusing it with WHERE TIME BEGAN?!, again now...

I have reviewed it for Scifilm: http://www.scifilm.org/reviews/journeycenter.html

Alien Warrior comes pretty close. I'm watching Monster a Go Go a la MST3K and I cannot believe how bad that is. Children of the Living Dead made me want to kill myself more or less.

My worst film is "Cybernator". What a cheese fest. But I like it. It is so bad, it is good.

I love Troll 2, which is so ineptly made it boggles the mind. It makes absolutely no sense. On a surface level, it's poorly written, acted, directed and produced; but once you scratch beneath that top layer into what the creators of this "film" could possibly have been thinking... that way lies madness.

When Williams S. Burroughs said "Exterminate all rational thought," he probably wasn't thinking of this movie. But he might of, if he saw it.

CHILDREN OF THE LIVING DEAD. As a life-long fan of zombie films, it's a particularly bitter pill to find one that's as unwatchably lousy as this. When you have to ask yourself several times (out loud!)"Tom Savini, what were you thinking?", you know it's a problem.

I know what you're thinking. Zombies! How could they screw up with any decent effort applied in a genre almost tailor made for low-budget chicanery?

A camera randomly turned on a group of people waiting at the local mall park-n-ride would net better acting and heaps more gravitas.

Amazingly, it makes Bill Hinzman's FLESHEATER seem like friggin IKIRU!

...and the people behind this sucker....no sense of zombie aesthetics. Look here, case in point:

Ok, you've got a small budget, fine. Less zombies, that's ok too. But don't cluster them all together like that. It looks amateurish. Spread 'em around that damn field soldier! Take advantage of the higher grass there. Stick a few ghouls back there on that hill. Damn, do I have to make my own zombie film, or what?

RCMerchant · March 07, 2007, 06:54:24 AM

Maybe they travel around like those little gnat clouds you walk into during the summer...all bunched up so when you take a breath you end up inhaling them...

Flangepart · March 07, 2007, 11:42:23 AM

Inhaleing zombie gnats! The horror...the horror...

OCTOPUS!...the so called hero in that is a total....infuriating...WUSS!....must watch the language....
And the rest of it is stupid too.
Nuke the whales and all that...

This would have to come in second to Cybernator. I thought it was going to be cool, I was mislead by the box cover artwork. I should sue for mental anguish!!

It was definitely a very bad bad movie. I would give it an F-.

I always find Plan Nine From Outer Space to be so total stupid and silly that I can't seem to stop laughing at it, I sometimes think that Ed Wood made it that way on purpose because anybody dumb enough to make this as a serious film would most likely have killed himself in a household accident.

Worst, as in laughably inept: A toss up between Future War and Spaced Out

Worst, as in mind-numbing CGI crapfest: Grendel

Worst, as in WTF? : The Pickle

Worst, as in a re-edited mess: Star Odyssey

Also worth mentioning as G-d awful are Wham Bam Thank You Spaceman, One Million AC/DC (The speak goes into the monster, the spear goes into. . .), Vampire Vixens from Venus, Killers Eroticus, and the utterly vapid mind-numbingly boring Zombie Island Massacre.
