Absolute WORST movie ever made?!?

BATMAN & ROBIN

[James S]

Not sure if this gem was mentioned.. (I didn't have the time to wade through all the posts.. But for me it's got to be:

ANKLE BITERS!!

A movie made with no budget about midget vampires roaming around in the daylight.. And a white boy Blade wanna be with a midget sidekick.. It's like watching a trainwreck. You just can't look away.

A handful that should challenge for the title..

WILD WOMEN OF WONGO
MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE
THE CREEPING TERROR
DROP DEAD FRED
GARBAGE PAIL KIDS: THE MOVIE

Superbabies 2- Dear god, This IS WORST than Monster A Go Go, Manos, The Creeping Terror COMBINED! wanted to bleach my eyeballs after that boat wreck!

While Vampires vs Zombie is really close. God that film was just awful.

My vote has to go for Asylum of Terror. There is no plot. The characters don't get names. The video quality is middling. The sound quality is atrocious. The blood looks like liquid concealer. It is about the most torturous movie I have ever put myself through.

It is stored in safe containment away from the rest of my collection so that it's taint does not spread. Also so that no one accidentally watches it.

Let me throw Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Paranormal Activity out there as two of the worst films I have yet to watch all the way through.

I guess it is all a matter of taste; I thought CRYSTAL SKULL was better than TEMPLE OF DOOM and thoroughly entertaining; PARANORMAL ACTIVITY was an excellent little indie horror that really worked for me.

On the other hand, MACGRUBER and LAND OF THE LOST were painfully bad - I really think I would rather get a root canal than sit thru either of them again.

"Dark Harvest." It is the worst-made movie ever? No. But it is the only one that's ever actually p*ssed me off. Why? The prologue was actually interesting! I wanted to see what happened with the farmer who sacrificed people to his crop-gods and then used their corpses to make his scarecrows! But no...we go straight from something interesting to boring teens who can't act in a farmhouse getting sliced up by people in bad scarecrow costumes.

You know your movie's bad when the general male audience says that even the lesbians couldn't save it.

Did I mention Night of Horror? If I didn't, let me sum up my experince: ARARHGHGARAGRHAG MAKE THEPAIN GOAWAY ASFJAPJGDPS  NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Then about 3 hours of crying in the dark.

and i found paranormal activity so painfully boring, even watching it with the rifftrax wasn't enough to get me through a viewing.
maybe it is just a matter of taste.

My foot goes for "Kottentail". Some ultra low budget shlock that even Troma wouldn't touch. Had an awesome front cover with a rabbit man creature, but in reality it was just a guy with bunny ears on. It had some chicks dressed as playboy bunnies as heroines, but it was dire. The only film I've watched recently which I fast forwarded all the way through.

Strictly from an acting standpoint, I'd have to say "Troll 2." Those people are horrible actors, especially the dad. For the most incoherent storyline, "Hard Rock Zombies" doesn't make one damn bit of sense. For poor production value, and continuity errors, almost any old 50's sci-fi movie has that (and not just the ones made by Ed Wood). "Motorhome Massacre" contains all of the these elements, bad acting, bad writting, bad FX, bad cinematography it's just plain bad. However, I find all of these movies enjoyable. I agree with John Waters that the only true bad movies are the boring ones.

Worst film ever must be either (and yes, I've seen both)...."Killdozer" or "Baby's Day Out".

Oh wait, I forgot.....I saw "Skyline" that would have to be it.

[RCMerchant]

PSYCHED BY THE 4-D WITCH is horrendus.
I DISMEMBER MAMA-for such an awesome title-whatta stinker.
WHEN WOMEN LOST THEIR TALES is heartrending.

This is rather simple to me.  The worst film ever made is Monster A-Go Go.  There is nothing redeemable about this film at all.  Everything is wrong with the film.  Bad acting, bad sound effects, bad lighting, bad story, bad continuity, bad effects, bad directing, pointless scenes, bad characters, bad soundtrack, and biggest kick in the nuts to me is the fact that this movie has bad film quality.  Say what you will about Pocket Ninjas and Red Zone Cuba, at least the film quality is fine.

Overall, Monster A-Go Go fails at everything, even the techincal basics and that is why I have to say that it is the worst film ever made and that there is nothing that can be salvage from it.

I tend to agree..  I've seen a number of microbudgeted films (films with a $10,000 or less budget, even seen a couple with budgets in the $100-$1000 range, and one with a budget under $100) that are better in basically every way, even technically.  And Monster A-Go Go has money in it too - it's just poorly spent.  It was shot on film, 35MM, so in adjusted dollars it would probably have a budget in the six figure range.  Films with that kind of money tend to have at least a small degree of polish or SOMETHING to compensate.  Manos looks great in comparison, and the dialogue is much more intelligible. 

Also, for mega budget productions ($50 million plus, I guess) Batman and Robin is the worst I've seen.  God that film is atrocious in every conceivable way.  It's simply mind bogglingly awful - terrible production design, terrible costumes, terrible color choices, bad fight scenes, awful dialogue, just EVERYTHING is bad.  You know when they say everything came together just right, as if lightning struck?  A film like Casablanca or Airplane!, where it's the pinnacle of practically everyone involved's career?  Batman and Robin is the exact opposite.  Lightning didn't strike within a 200 mile radius of the set.
