Indiana Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I thought as we were recommending good horror films we should also recommend a few to avoid. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm afraid as a fan of Halloween I've got to add Halloween 5 to this list. As a completist it is in my collection but without a doubt it is the worst Halloween film ever. (Halloween III doesn't count as it's not a totally bad film, it is just kinda Myers-less). Also The Blair Witch Project due to the fact that it totally failed to scare/thrill/excite in anyway. You wait 90 minutes to be scared and what do you get? Sick from camera wobble and a complete lack of the heebie jeebies! Obi-Wan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Master Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I was really looking forward to seeing The People Under The Stairs, Wes Cramer was the director so I thought it was going to be good. Turned out to be awful!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steviefull Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Im totally expecting to get ripped aprt with this answer The original texas Chainsaw Massacre, what a bag of crap, saw it on dvd for first time about 2 years ago, arghhhhh, the only emotion it gave me was the one that i was prayin for leatherface to kill the screaming woman.

KAT Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Cabin Fever - Really disappointed. It was awful. One of the worst films I have ever seen. Urban Legends 2 - Starts off ok with the first murder in the bath tub, then gets really wanky. My Little Eye - Didn't like this much, very boring, last scene is quite disturbing though. Driller Killer - Totally agree with you. Its painfully dull. Cant think of any others at the moment..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Yeah, Driller Killler was crap. My sister bought Evil Ed.....and then gave it away it was so crap. I didn't like the origianl Texas Chainsaw Massarce either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louise260585 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 i can't stand wishmaster (don't tell robert!). it was so thick. a freddy knock off with up to date effects. the person who said they have yet to see a good wes cramen film, i think you mean wes craven and also did you not watch nightmare on elm street cause that film tops em'. also i really cannot stand to watch the people under the stairs though either. its kinda weird. as if all them kids wouldnt just bust outta there.

Im ashamed to admit that I absolutely love the people under the stairs...... And I love Evil Ed..... Like Evil Dead, it was made by Uni students with a pasion for film and horror...hats off to them. People under the stairs??.....I don't mind it although it gets great write ups in film books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHOTL was tame, tame, tame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
