Horror movies to avoid at all costs!

[Angel]

What about Skinned Alive? I thought it deserves a mention here. Anyone else seen it?

Me too. The sound is a bit dodgy even for a mono track. Due to it's low budget independent origins, it may have something to do with the method of original recording. Synapse are usually very good with their audio and visual masters and maybe it was the best they could do with the material. To be honest, it's a while since I've seen it, I may have to give it a spin again to see how bad the audio is...

Yep synapse are usually very good so indeed it may as you say be the sound apparatus used at the actual time to film it were dodgy/Cheap/BOTH!!

Just watched "Snuff 102".Pretentious shite.Mind you it didn't have English subs so I may have missed some earth shattering dialogue but doubt it very much.Still if you like seeing women tortured,death camp photos and animal cruelty give it a go it.I saw it online where it has been uploaded into four 25 minute segments.I don't know how to put the link in this post so if you want to see it google Snuff 102 and click on the link for Snuff 102 4 on Yahoo!7Video,this takes you straight to the last segment but the other 3 are there too.

I quite enjoyed this,im afraid to say,although the sound was helluva muffled at times. Still own it too.

You know me mate I like Controversy

I liked it because it attempted to do something new.I also liked Wind Chill too.I hated:-
Captivity
The Outing (1981) Poor Slasher set in a ghost town featuring Woody Strode.
The Fiend (1980) dire beyond believe
Creatures Of The Abyss
The Wicker Man-Remake
Omen IV-Sad end to a once decent series (I've always found The Final Conflict underrated)
Cannibal Terror-Boring
Halloween 5-I thought that was the worst (The introduction of the man in black or whatever)
Friday 13th pt 7-The New Blood-MPAA cuts did not help but still poor
Howling 2 (1984) A disgrace after the superb original.One of Lee's worst
Funnyman-Upper crap.Another Chris Lee low point.
Against The Dark-Though all Seagal's films since Exit Wounds are pretty dire.
The Ginger Dead Man
Repossessed-Truly dire horror spoof
Murder Set Pieces-Not shocking just an insult to good film-making.

I turned it off after about 10 minutes.

Anything that was made recently on a low budget... why do they always have to suck? We're talking about the stuff you see regularly on Zone Horror now.

I thought I'd give them another chance recently, and watched Home Sick. What a shockingly dire film... inept on every level.

Totally agree.The station shows some real doss.I also hate all the recent monster movies with fifth rate CGI effects like Yeti-Curse Of Demon Mountain,Python,Sabretooth & Pterodactyl.Totally unconvincing & shoddy.

Thats half their fun..the shodiness!! I own most of the above and still have the following to watch..

Eye of the beast.
Hybrid.
Snakeman.
Shark swarm.
The swarm.
The hive.
Altered species.

I had the misfortune of watching grizzly rage last week,incredibly boring,girdlers 70's entry is far superior.
