Not horror, but bad just the same..

Also known as House On Straw Hill.. or also known as sh*tty..

Beware the terror of CAT-HAND!

Weak..

This one I haven't seen.. but from all reviews I've read, this belongs on this thread.
Also known as CLASS REUNION MASSACRE.

"O the legend they say, on a Valentine's Day, is a curse that'll live on and on.."

Exactly! I hated this film with a passion. :hatred:
Yes,I'm fine....as long as I don't look too closely.

Not sure how "bad" it was---I think it was meant partly as a put-on, though it's hard to tell. Still fits in fine.

Ah.. for bad foreign film afficiandos..

From what I remember, this was pretty awful..

Bad, bad bad!  An all-star cast wasted!

     This is the textbook definition of a bad 70's film....

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

Beware the terror of CAT-HAND!



That cat's got a Wilford Brimley 'stache; that's the greatest cat ever!





I like this movie, but anyway....



Yes, really.
Through the darkness of future past
The magician longs to see
One chance opts between two worlds
Fire walk with me

Ugh.. I think I saw this at the drive-in.

AKA Angel's Revenge.  MST3K was wise to pick this up.

This was so bad and boring..

Funny!

Definitely not a bad movie... it's in the Criterion Collection.  but bad movie fans should enjoy it.

Now this is bad:

Oh come on, yes it is!  It's ridiculous, pointless and arbitrary.. and absolutely hilarious!  Bad, as in, bad-good!  :thumbup:
I can't really name anything in the Criterion ouvre, so I don't know the quality of flicks they have.  The word 'bad' can have numerous connotations, of course.  If bad in this thread is supposed to mean just plain awful, well, then this probably doesn't qualify.   :teddyr:

Glad you clarified.  I thought maybe it was in reference to the martial arts teacher in Angel's Brigade with the sword, or maybe that Myra Breckinridge was a transsexual and had "her" member chopped off before becoming a woman.

More bad 'uns..
Saw this at the drive-in with Wizards..

Some liked this, but I though the zero budget really hurt it..

Lily Tomlin?  In a crappy romance movie with Travolta?  The hell!

John Boorman hits rock bottom..

this either pre-dates or rips off charlie's angels, I don't care which cause it's so bad. 3 main characters but only one of them ever speaks. hundreds of random 'worker' guys get killed during the film but they're all played by the same 2 or 3 actors...truly diabolical

Well, at least we both like the movie and this is just one of those "bad" vs. "good-bad" arguments we sometimes have on this board.  Since the point of HOUSE being deliberately ridiculous and arbitrary is so that it can be hilarious, I'd say it's more along the lines of something like MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL than the other movies in this thread. In a way it doesn't fit in, but in another way it does.

Here's one I hope we can all agree is unquestionably "bad":
