Voted for Blair Witch, though JUST over Leprechaun.

Belloche · 02-04-2009, 10:02 PM

I went with Children of the Corn. They just kept on making them and I don't think they offered too much to anybody.

Oh, and I liked the first Leprechaun movies but they went too far with "N tha hood" and the outerspace one.

the rest of them?? there are only two

AKORIS · 02-05-2009, 06:57 PM

wow, that's a tough decision-- seeing the list it's an eye-opener to
see how many terrible horror flilms there are!

but I would have to say it's a tie between the GHOULIES films and
SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT films since I thought they were all
wretched! Runner up-- LEPRECHAUN series

I can't pick series like HELLRAISER and HOWLING because while they had
plenty of terrible sequels-- the original was still great.

FindYourWay · 02-05-2009, 07:45 PM

Stir of Echoes? Did they make more of this one? That's how bad it is if so.

Others you didn't mention, that bug me are:
Pumpkinhead
(first classic, all the rest are really, really bad)
Poltergeist
(first classic, the 2nd & third were completely forgettable. Although I will never forget the second and the family floating around at the end. Gosh that was really funny)

I want Poltergeist 2 & 3 on Blu! People say they suck but they sound interesting.

I assume you haven't seen them by your comments. The 2 sequels are on
regular dvd as a double feature for less than 10 bucks.
Believe me when I tell you that's all they're worth!

They must be made horribly because I like the plot (or what I've read of it).

If they're that bad I'll just download it.

Proof that sometimes people hate things just to hate them.

not horribly made, just thoroughly mediocre. Part 2 has one scary scene
with the demented preacher at the Freeling's door but the rest of the film
has none of the suspense or style of the original-- and the ending is one of
the worst of all time....laughable and very poorly done.
Part 3 has a lower budget but a more involving storyline and ideas. It has
a very low budget and it shows--I had no problem watching it (I bought
these movies on the dvd I mentioned--but I would not upgrade these to
blu-ray like I did the original.
I would rent them or download them as you mentioned if you want to see them but you will most likely be disappointed.

When I said "rest of them" I was refering to the rest of the list - not meaning there were more than two Blair Witch movies. Sorry.

I thought the Chucky movies were comedies? Never seen any of the Ghoulies so I don't have an opinion on them.

The Saw franchise. Saw 1 was great, Saw 2 was very very good, Saw 3 was good, Saw 4 was bad and I haven't seen Saw 5 yet but from what I hear it is the worst in the franchise.

GORT · 02-05-2009, 09:54 PM

You forgot to include Jaws 2,3,4 all are a total crap fest

That was where the second Hannibal Lecter went.

I was thinking Jaws. But I must have wrote Hannibal again. Cause there it is. Sorry, ..in mind, but not in hands, I guess.

Thanks.
