Cult classic horror films that you don't like

[James_Younger_Gang]

Nowadays there are a lot of horror cult classic films that almost 100% of horror fans like. But there are some that despite being loved, they just don't make it for some of us. Feel free to mention horror films that are cult classics, but you didn't like them.Please explain why.

Child's Play comes to mind. Horror is known for being silly but this one was to much. Weird tho cause I like the Puppet Master films go figure. Another is The Exorcist, not denying its a well made film. Exorcist is cast well and is played out very good with a mood that fits it well. Just for me it went to far with its material.

That's cause the film was based on a true story of a possessed boy back in 1949.

Yea I know have seen the doc on it and it does an honest job of portraying it. Guess best way I can put it. Appreciate what it is, just don't like to watch it.

Not a big fan of the Chucky movies.

Brain damage. I know that it is a horror comedy, but the silliness went over the top , and it didn't feel scary at all. Take return of the living dead. That movie will make you laugh , but certain scenes are actually scary.

Anything Romero is garbage to me.

The Evil Dead films are way too overrated...only Army of Darkness is any fun.

Prom Night might be one of the worst film's I've ever seen.

I agree on the original prom night.

Just thought of Street Trash that movie is whacked out.

Lately, I've come to the realization that a lot of the Italian films (especially gaillo ones) just aren't for me. Saw Suspiria for the first time recently--it's certainly vivid and visually lush, but it's not a movie I'd gush over or want to rewatch. Same for Tenebrae, Inferno, Bay of Blood, The Bloodstained Butterfly, Contamination, City of the Living Dead, and Cat in the Brain.

But I am okay with The Beyond, some of the cannibal movies, and The Editor.

Few others that come to mind are:

CHUD 1 and 2
Drag Me To Hell
The Hills Have Eyes (either version)
Night of the Living Dead (either version)

When I saw this thread SUSPIRIA was the first thing that came to my mind...Just does not work for me on any level.

I did not care at all for Suspiria when I saw it for the first time a handful of years ago. Granted, it was on a HIDEOUS-looking non-anamorphic DVD, but I still found it pretty incoherent. Certainly stylish, but how about a plot?

[James_Younger_Gang]

CHUDS. I understand that many love this movie, burlt when I watched it I felt that the only ongoing action was the guys investigating. It felt boring to me.

The Hills Have Eyes, the original one. It's not particularly good at all.

Agreed. As well for me are Wickerman and Blair Witch Project. I think sometimes expectations are too high.

[Retroj23]

Wow. A lot of hate for Suspiria here. I thought it was well made but to each their own. The original Dawn of the Dead does absolutely nothing for me however. Funny too cuz I love Night and Day.
