SOO Bad it's Good!
 

:yo:

I'm sure most people on this forum cannot resist a crap film that's just soo damn good simply because of it's crap-ness. And what with the announcement that Troll is getting a remake! I thought it would be fitting to start a little thread of the all time so bad their gold films. So, what's you fav? (Or worse? :confused:)


:llama:

LA Heat its so awful its fantastic!!!

Hell of the Living Dead/Zombie Creeping Flesh is bad and inept in every way imaginable, but it's a laugh riot and highly entertaining. Some class lines of dialogue in there too, such as...

Vincent: Patience is the chief virtue for those who have faith. Mahatma Gandhi, New Delhi, 1946.
Lt. Mike London: Up your ass. Lieutenant Mike London, Shit Creek, the year is now.

SWAT Team commander: Just be careful you don’t get your balls wasted!

:laugh:

samarai cop, an insanely inept action film is easily one of the funniest films i've seen. You can check out some clips of it on youtube.

btw great thread, I love crappy inept films, i know i will get some good recommendations here.

Got to agree with Daemonia. Zombie Creeping Flesh is so abysmal that it's thoroughly enjoyable. Dawn Of The Mummy is another of the same ilk.

Don't Go In The Woods is just outrageously inept in every way - and great fun with it. :pound:

I'm not really a follower of the so bad it's good school of thought,but cannot explain my love of "The Exorcist II" any other way.

I'm unashamedly drawn to Zombie Lake!... :makelikeatree:

Plus chalk me up as another fan of Zombie Creeping Flesh.:D

I'm a fan of Exorcist II as well though I much prefer the original cinema version.

What's the difference between the cinema and DVD release?



Any fans of "Life Force".

Zombie Lake,and Don't Go In The Woods are two which spring to mind.:shocked:

The older video featured the shorter edit (the re-cut cinema print). The 1998 video and DVD feature the longer director's cut. The most significant difference being the ending.

Pieces
things
cruel jaws
troll 2

Empire of the Ants
Mad Foxes

Fully agree there, Angel. Giant Spider Invasion is another turkey (or rather a fur-covered volkswagen) that's so absurd it's enjoyable.

Pieces
ZCF
Nightmare City
Massacre in Dinosour Valley
Zombi 3
Rats

I take offence at that loops Pieces is a work of horror genius :pound:

It is compared to Zombie Lake! That film is :loco:

I rember I couldnt even sit thought Zombie Lake, it just seems like an excuse for a sof porn film. And a bad one at that

Sure is. The 'bad chop suey' scene is a genuine classic, and who can resist Lynda Day's immortal yell of "Bastard! Bastard!!! BASTARRRRRD!!!!!!". :pound:

The Chop Suey scene is hilarious, its so out of place,

Bad chop suey had me in stiches!!!! I really want to get the Grindhouse releasing version of Pieces but its pretty expensive

Jess Franco was supposed to direct ZL but dissapeared leaving the producers to hire Jean Rollin at the last minute.

Claudio fragasso flicks are also good for a laugh as anyone whos seen monster dog or after death/zombie 4 can testify to.

Paginini horror,oh dear,oh dear..

Vampire sisters,near death,maniacal,butchered,jackhammer massacre,the creeping terror,plan 9 from outer space, splatter farm,splatter beach,backwoods,suburban sasquatch,nights of terror,bite me,giant spider invasion,spiders,snakeman,mega snake,anaconda 3-the offspring, christ there is literally hundreds of the buggers,i'd be here all day at this rate!!

Nights of Terror (AKA /Zombie Dead/ Burial Ground/ Zombie 3 ) is a loads of fun, It has really dirty feel to to it.

This is one of my favourite zombie films.It does have a dirty feel to it,from the sex scenes to the clay covered zombies.I'd also say it is more political than Romero's zombie films.And who can forget Peter Bark.

"Mother, this cloth smells of death". :D

Breast feeding was never the same again.....:pound:

Any of you guys remember a film called hydra? Had it on vhs years back,and its a mad scientist job,who turns into a fish monster. One scene has him carrying a female victim over some rocks,and he stumbles,trips and almost falls a few times.:laugh: Inept,but quite amusing.
This probably went under some other title,as it was released on one of those fly by night cheapo video labels,which took to renaming a lot of their titles.
Imagine my joy upon picking up the hokushin pre cert of mortuary and another horror film called embalmed at a market stall,getting them home and finding out they were both the same film!!!!:tsk:

mortuary and embalmed
r these old films from 80s r 90s im sure i saw 1 when it was called mortuary at pics then bought it when it was callled embalmed names ring a bell...
Is it the 1 where there a few girls and i think the black girl has got constantly got something stuck in her mouth like a toothbrush

The 1983 film Morturay aka Embalmed starred Christopher George and Mary McDonough. It's a slasher film involving witches. It was heavily cut by the BBFC over here. It's also a film that I like.

I think its one dark night your thinking of.
Where the three girls,for a sorority pledge have to stay overnight in a mausoleum,which just so happens to have its very own "psychic vampire" who preceeds to terrorise them and reanimate the dead.
Its out on r1 from shriek show.:)

Yeah,pretty good,and it also starred a very young bill paxton.

Has anybody here seen The Worm Eaters? I hear that's pretty bad - but I'm tempted.

How can you resist a title like that?:shocked:

THE NOSTRIL PICKER comes to mind,when talking about SO BAD,IT'S GOOD....

Well,its from the same guy who gave us the corpse grinders,so if you like that...:)

Been watching this rubbish over the past two nights at bedtime(funnily enough)As bad as i can remember it being when i saw the vhs back in the early 90's.
One of my sons bought this and howling 3 from cash converters at the weekend. Hows that for a crap double bill.
He thinks they both stink!:laugh:

:whoo: Good point Reaps!

Mmm - I do like Corpse Grinders! I think I'll give it a go - it supposedly meant to be really really disgusting - but is only a PG which is quite interesting. Worm eating - what could be better to watch then eating worms? Eating speghetti whilst watching people eat worms! Oh YEAH!

This'd be my pick for 'so bad it's good' as well - bizzarely, it's one of my most watched DVDs... always with mates and beer of course :biggrin:
