Now that it
is the fourth week of October, it is time to make another blog/video of
something related to Halloween. On the second week of October, I did a list of
my top ten favorite horror movies of all time. Because of that, I thought that
it would be appropriate to have a list of my top ten worst movies of all time
for this week.
Number 10: The Possession
The Possession tries to be smart with
its scares, but it is not aware that having a girl stand outside with wind
blowing at her is not creepy. It is not aware that tension is not built up with
the absence of everything but the score and they do not realize you need more
than five scares to make a solid, and good, horror movie. This film is not
scary and lacks the essence most films have that causes people to enjoy the
film.
Number 9: Don’t Be Afraid of the
Dark
Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark thinks
horror films are at their scariest when they show what the monster or
monster-like-creatures-or-such are shown within the first ten minutes of the
movie. Because of that, for the rest of the movie, we have no good scares and a
lack of enjoyment due to the fact that we have nothing to be anxious about and
that it would have be scary to be enjoyable.
Number 8: Poltergeist II: The Other
Side
Poltergeist II: The Other Side goes way
farther than the first one, showing us a realm that we really did not need to
see an redacts the demonic threat the first film had out of this one, because
this is a “suspenseful and intense adventure and mystery movie”. The filmmakers
have no idea what the movie really is so as it goes on it has more ridiculous
scares and continues to get dumber.
Number 7: Child’s Play
Child’s Play is still
loved by some people and referred to as a classic. I refer to this film as the
one when a toy doll thing with a small toy hammer hits a grown woman with the
hammer, then she flies probably over twenty feet across the room, onto a huge
dining table while sliding across it and not getting stopped with the friction,
hits a window that breaks so that she can fall out of it and fall two stories
to hit a car.
Number 6: The Last Exorcism
The Last Exorcism really
does not know that people are smart enough to know when lines are clearly
audio-dubbed. It thinks it can add a twist to a “found footage” movie to make
people think that it is real. It thinks it can use incredibly horrible CGI
without anyone thinking that it is anything but real. This film has not one
good exorcism and not one scary scene. It continuously yells to the screen that
the audience is stupid while being incredibly boring.
Number 5: The Apparition
The Apparition would be a bit higher on several other peoples’
lists, but believe me, I have seen worse. This film features horrible acting,
an incredibly dumb story, a poster with false marketing all over it, not one
scary scene, and not one good scene. This film is a fail at horror and should
not exist. It truly does not know what scares audiences and what a good script
is.
Number 4: Amityville II: The
Possession
Amityville II: The Possession should
definitely be viewed as a comedy. As it believes it is being much cleverer than
it truly is, it tries to be better than The
Exorcist. But really, all it is doing is ripping off The Exorcist. It has truly atrocious acting and sets a completely
horrible example for a horror movie sequel. This film came out just to make money,
as it seems to be older than the first. That makes this movie even sadder than
it already was.
Number 3: Abraham Lincoln vs.
Zombies
Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies is a film
that you probably have never heard of, because it really should not exist. It
has the dumbest premise ever, then it goes off of that premise to create one of
the worst stories I have every scene in a movie. It has horrible acting and
brings no thrills to the screen as it is technically a horror/thriller film. It
is incredibly boring from start to finish. What a true work of art this movie
really is.
Number 2: Poltergeist III
Poltergeist III was
definitely the film that showed the makers of Poltergeist II: The Other Side that even a second installment was
way too much. This film does have a good performance by the little girl, but
that is possibly the only good aspect of the film. It uses nothing but jump
scares from start to finish and fails at all but one of them. The concept is
stupid and the execution is even worse. It is incredibly boring and fails at
almost everything it sets out to do. This film should be forgotten forever.
Number 1: Paranormal Entity
Paranormal Entity, another film that copies off of Paranormal Activity, is stale and bland from shot one until the end
of the movie. They try so hard to make us think it is real, but it has
absolutely horrible acting, and the story of the film is generic and gets
increasingly more clichéd as the film goes on. Of course it tries at almost
nothing but jump scares and not one of them works. Of course it was incredibly
hard to enjoy. Though, this film had not one even entertaining moment. It is a
true work of something that should not have happened and should be completely
disintegrated. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
That is my
list of my least favorite horror movies of all time. You might think some films
are not in this list, but they should be. Take into account that I have not
seen every horror movie known to man, and if I did see a horror movie you think
should be on this list, I might have enjoyed it more. Also, you might think
some movies should not be on this list and I was too hard on them. Again, might
have just thought different of them than you. This is my list, and a top ten
list of movies is very biased and to the maker of the list’s opinion.
