It’s a really great horror flick that you can watch over and over again and still get scared. A film so horrifying, it forces you to revisit all your childhood irrational fears. You go to bed, but you leave in the corridor. You check the back of your car in case a maniac has just watched you machete you. You invite a friend over, cover your eyes with the nearest blanket and have a good old fashioned party. Of course, those movies aren’t. No, these movies are in a different category. If you were on your local site by all rights, they should be filed under “Intentional Comedy”. Horror movies horror are churning out every year that don’t even try, but here are some more. a prominent film that was actually working on the effort. Without further ado, here they are: The Top 10 Scariest Movies of All Time.
10. PROJECT BLAIR VILLAGE
I’m sorry, but this movie was terrible. When this film first hit the theaters, it was truly brilliant. It seemed like such a formula of genius. It had actors who were relatively unknown, it was shot in the style of a clandestine documentary, and for several weeks everyone was convinced that they were walking in the mysterious lost footage of a trip to the camp to see a terrible conflict. After about an hour, it becomes clear: nothing is going to happen. Absolutely nothing. Oh sure, there’s something to shout about. Bombs-f Others The tearful “confessional” scene (which has since been parodied countless times). By all accounts this movie should have been spectacular. It has the main elements of a great horror film in which the viewer’s imagination leads them to demonic and terrifying places that no director in visionary vision can do it justice. But here we are presented with not much more than grainy, shaky camera work and anti-climatic scenes that left a lot to be desired. The scariest thing most experienced watching this movie was getting a migraine.
9. POTTERY (2005)
How scary does this sound? A mysterious fog slowly descended on the unsuspecting citizens and gained evidence. Yes, fog. Bad CGI effects, Drama 101 acting, and every scene that makes you question if you’re really watching Special Features. Most people have a fog in their eyes and their morning coffee is much scarier than this movie. Selma Blair has saved the genre for some beautiful romantic movies, but this is not one of them.
8. CHUCKY’S BRIDE
Dolls scare a lot of people. They are small, soulless, that stare blankly in front of your eyes, as if they know something that you don’t. Chucky’s freedom started doing a decent job of tapping into that particular fear, now he’s a fool. Case in point, Chucky’s bride. Jennifer Tilly makes it almost worth the effort with her goth rendition of the valley girl, and she stars as Katherine Heigl who (thankfully for her) goes on to bigger and better gigs. Alexis Arquette has a pretty funny turn out as Marilyn Manson’s wannabe boyfriend Tilly, but it’s really a train-wreck plotting the ruins of what could have been a really fun, campy, but above all SCARY horror flick. Points to consider for this movie is that it doesn’t take itself too seriously, but the plot quickly becomes cheesy as it loses its edge. If the end is really scary, first revisit the movie.
7. ruins
Pretty accurate title for this one. a group of drunk college kids (gee, go figure!) stumble upon some ancient ruins in Mexico that are supposedly cursed. When the locals don’t leave, they find themselves trapped by the melting supplies at the mercy of someone really angry and murderous…plants (fog, plants, what’s next to Hollywood? a clothes dryer?). The director tries to weave a web of suffocating claustrophobia, but falls flat with a combination of bad effects and no character development whatever It’s hard to stay engaged in this movie. No bueno.
6. IT (1990)
To be fair, the book is amazing and really hard to chew. He delivers one of the scariest and best horror stories ever written, not to mention one of Stephen King’s best (and that’s saying a lot). Expectations for the improvement of the film were probably high. If you read the book, it’s looooooong. It’s awesome, but it’s probably not the kind of book that’s featured on feature film on a feature film stays real while it stays in the story probably can’t. . So the mini-series aired. A long story short, not the whole lot is based on new ones. Tim Curry’s Pennywise is a clown that will really give you nightmares. He is a bad man. That’s why it’s a shame the rest of the game is so boring. For all the seasoned actors, you’d think they’d pull more. The characters are supposed to have an unshakable bond but it doesn’t transfer to the screen. He takes a maddened pace at times, and slows down with a lame whine. A bunch of cheesy characters, mediocre acting (Curry and a few others excluded) and often campy dialogue make the film not very workable, and ultimately not very scary.
5. TOURISTS
I liked this movie better when it was called “Hostel” and wasn’t set in the tropics. Bad camera work, poor acting… I don’t usually get tired of people getting killed, but this movie pulled it off far too well. This movie took a beating (pun intended) at character-development but it’s really hard to care about anything in this matter.
4. HOUSE OF WAX (2005)
Let’s just get out of the way. Yes, Paris Hilton was in this sick movie, but she wasn’t entirely to blame for how terrible it was because she didn’t do much except take her top off and look stupid, which couldn’t be much. stretch Wax museums are supposed to be really creepy. Lots of people also have phobias around them (automatonophobia or fear of inanimate objects or machines that look at humans). Why, then, could this movie, with such a terrible set of material, fail so suddenly? We hold it with the classic elements we all expect from this genre: the attractive kids college road trip (yawn). A car accident strikes unexpectedly and the gang is forced to seek help in a deserted town from local gangs who have foreseen the fate and the unwelcome. That ominous building is introduced in the so-called town of local wax moss, where evil twins with bigger problems run around killing people with smoke and cutting them into wax. You won’t find anything exciting or original here, and there’s no hint of the macabre that made Vincent Price’s 1953 version so chilling. The string of scary plot twists and special effects don’t make up for the fact that the movie could have been brought to a whole other level if more attention to detail had been given. The actors are clearly struggling with a bad writer (no doubt Ms. Capulo snuck in) and in the end, trying to watch.
3. Mortuary (2005)
Where do I start with this mess… I was excited enough to watch this first. Funeral homes, I say, funerals are great retreats for a horror movie. They ring in what everyone fears: death. Sure, you might be scared to death by running from a grinder, but in the back of your mind you can reason with yourself that the likelihood of being offered a job by a psychopath in a hockey mask is very slim. But with the object of a horror film that takes place in a funeral home, a morbid curiosity is piqued and the ever-present reminder that you, too, will one day end up on that board. Mortality is scary to most people, to be honest, it’s fun, right? No. We are introduced to a close family who have gone through the loss of their father. She is a dying mother and recently lost her funeral looking for her home to start her own business. The front yard is a cemetery lined with decrepit graves that appear to have been purchased from Halloween Warehouse Inc. Mix in some horrible acting (the little places are especially funny) and you have a really stupid and confusing array of plots and movies. it has gone from intriguing to idiotic. They are two bad guys. One is a living weirdo in one of the mortuary mausoleums, and another is expressed. Yes, they pretend. It often appears and never makes sense. People get zombiefied, their bodies come to life and attack everyone when they pretend, Goth kids run around in a zombie state and try to maintain their topical appearance… it’s just bad. It’s funny, but predictable and not at all terrifying.
2. JASON X
I happen to like the Friday the 13th movies. The author is the cause of the order. I appreciate that the franchise has developed into something else, and maybe the writers feel freer to stray from the original formula and into some jokes, silly plots, etc. to add And Jason X is such a reliably awesome movie that I wonder if it was originally conceived as a joke after one too many Alabama Slammers. Jason is sent into space to rid the world of its evils. Erm… and there are college kids who are sent there with him. whom he kills. Yup, that’s it. It’s a lot of crazy stupid one liners, cheap costumes and cheesy worms. I mean, picture a paper rocket ship floating by on a cardboard 4th-grade space drawing (you know, the kind where you can see the strings) and add college kids and beheading girls who are not frequent girls. It’s not so bad or funny, it’s just really difficult because there’s no plot, no suspense and no interesting dialogue.
1. PLAN 9 from outer space
The best part of this movie is probably the opening credits (when you see the co-stars are an actor named Dudley Manlove). The movie features recently, the great Bella Legos (the original Dracula) and Vampira, which offer a spark to this emotional dump that director Ed Wood gave to the world. “Intrigues” (and you shouldn’t depend too much on this one…just reeling in confusion) follows the mystery thread. Graveyard Murder‘s body abductors fly in Hollywood flying saucers in the shape of ugly tins. Go ahead and watch this movie. Worst special effects mockup I’ve ever seen. They are amazed at the cardboard sets. Giggle at how great it always is, in outer space. It’s clear to wonder if the “actors” being portrayed know they’re in the movie or if they just happen to be caught in the movie while wandering through the movie lot. Marvel at how seamlessly a sequence of action sequences is connected with stock footage, model airplanes from a beloved local shop and small firecrackers. You’ll endure a conversation that sounds like someone with a bad cold is reading your car policy. Sometimes, when the actors speak, their diction is so poor that you hear these words that sound like: “ablashoodeemashah”. Not kidding. The actors casually kick over the sculptures, the lines are flubbed and the guys with the crew are cut off in black capes passing off as villains, but the show goes on. And we love it and we’re still talking about it 50 years later. Ed Wood left a legacy with this film that he never intended, and in 1994 a wonderful movie about his life starring Johnny Depp. It’s so awesome. But it’s still amazing. Hats off to Plan 9 From Outer Space, the creator of a truly horrifically bad horror film.
