The Absolute Worst Films of All Time!

I have the original F13 on blu ray
But (I know this will never happen, Paramount. MPAA etc), if only parts 2-8 were released completely uncut with the gory scenes intact

They just hit the right notes with me, probably as i lived my teen years with them.

Outside of the first two, I'm not keen on the series. I'd certainly take them over the Elm Street movies anyday, though.

That would make my year, decade probably.

I know the films are walking cliches nowadays due to the hundreds of rip offs, but the cliches were pretty much invented by that series in the first place.

A Bay of Blood got there first.

It's not so much the cliche aspect to it, as I agree that the series was the inception for the many copycats that succeeded it; more so the annoying characters, and unimaginative and over-milked storylines; where studios like Platinum Dunes just squeeze every penny out of an idea until there's nothing left.

Then again, that's probably my main gripe with US franchise horror as a whole, and is probably why I'm more drawn to gialli and more off-the-wall slashers like Maniac, Eyes of a Stranger, Don't Answer the Phone and Gutterballs. I find them more refreshing the endless sea of franchises, sequels, and remakes.

Gutterballs - now thats a film with annoying characters.

You were doing so well till you mentioned that.

I liked Gutterballs, sshh.

and Sean Cunningham still hasn't said 'Yes I was inspired by A BAY OF BLOOD'!
In the Mario Bava doc, he only says that he would agree that there are some cenes similar to Bava's classic
when a lot of the scenes were directly copied. axe in face. spear through bed couple etc

Gutterballs is great - truly annoyingly awful characters + stupid plot = great film.

I'm not a huge fan of Nicholson, but he nailed it with Gutterballs; I hugely anticipate the sequel!

Yeah, Cunningham is full of shit.

There are basically three good films in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise: the first one, the third one and New Nightmare. The rest of them are extremely forgettable.

I had a mental list of terrible films, but I can't remember them now!

I'm sure Grease 2 was on it, Nos.
