I have so many terrible DVDs that... I can't choose! I'll go look and see if I can find a candidate for the worst.

It kind of depends on your definition of "worst".

If you mean "I regret ever buying/owning/watching this because of the film itself", it would have to be "They All Must Die!". I started a thread about this film when I was a member of this forum ages ago. I even reviewed it on my pathetically-maintained blog Bargain Basement Thrills and Deranged Visions. (Yes, I'm plugging my blog. Someone has to. Maybe.) Sick, vile, and the closest I have ever come to being both sickened and offended by a movie. (To give you an idea of how warped I am, I actually found "A Serbian Film" entertaining but flawed and darkly humorous.)

If you mean "THIS is a DVD release? It looks like poop strained through cheesecloth!", then it could be any number of DVDs I own that were released by VideoAsia. They are well-known for taking worn-out VHS tapes of obscure films and saving them, bad tracking and crappy washed-out resolution included, on DVD. This allows them to legally say the films are "digitally remastered" as they ARE converted to a digital format that they use as a master copy to produce the DVDs. Heck, some of the insanely low-resolution channels on my Roku look better than these DVDs.

If you mean "Why does this thing exist in MY collection?!?! I don't even remember buying this gawd-awful thing.", then I'd have to say the winner is "Things". While I do remember buying it, I cannot bring myself to watch it again simply because it hurts my head to watch it. I mean this literally. It induces a headache and somehow short-circuits my thoughts. One viewing, and you will never be quite the same person again.
I feel more like I do now than I did a while ago.

All the ones that didn't work and became coasters.

I had a DVD of Fear Chamber (1974) that flickered in and out like it was taped off satellite TV with satellite interference.

With regards to movies, I own some real stinkers the worst of which are mostly from the Asylum...

HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP

First one in my collection to end up in the trash bin.

Quality wise I'd say the worst DVD I have is a copy of Nightmare Castle which seems to have been sourced from a print which was wiped with a pair of my undies and put through a meat grinder.  :buggedout: :buggedout:

The Polonia's How to Slay a Vampire, the movie is absolute butt. It came with three other movies, two of which manage to be even more butt. :thumbdown:

Quality-wise, I have a copy of Prehistoric Women that's so washed out, green, and blurry that I can't even tell what's on the screen at any given moment.

Edit: I'm probably going to remember something else but two separate entries on this topic is probably enough.
Kleel's rule is harsh :-B

Picking a film from The Asylum, I'd probably go with Apocalypse Pompeii but only because I got rid of Transmorphers and AVH: Alien vs. Hunter.

     I had two different prints of BLOOD OF DRACULA'S CASTLE that looked as if someone tried to clean them with bleach.
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.

Speaking as a film archivist, that means the source prints of those films were badly faded.
