Films So Bad, They're Good!

    We've all heard about your favourite films, but what about those cheesey Z-flicks that were so bad, you might actually have enjoyed ripping holes through the plot, chopping down the wooden acting or just spilling your guts at the awful effects.

    For me, Blair Witch Project II was one of those above films. The atmosphere building up to the fun was about as scary as the Smurfs do Christmas, 'Oh miii gawwwwddd! That tree wasn't there last night!', 'What's that outside the window!, I don't see nothing?!'. A pregnant woman and his Harrison Ford look-a-like wife smoking pot and getting fúcking buckled, a slutty Wiccan type and the cringe-tastic toughgirl goth. It just gets me angry to think about the film!

    With Friends Like These was another cack handed attempt at horror. It featured a talking car, a mould-man creature that lived in a fridge and some sort of robot that created itself out of thin air! Made on a budget of 36 pence and a half-eaten Mars bar you couldn't possible expect it to be good, so at least in that respect it doesn't deserve my nomination of Blair Witch II as one of the worst horror films ever devised.

    Oh god, I HATED Blair Witch 2 with a passion. I was very bored one day, and got the DVD thinking it might be ok, but jesus, what a ****ing turkey of a film. I got it in a 2 for €25 deal with Romper Stomper, so it wasn't all bad.

    If anyone wants a trade, I got Blair Witch 2 here, barely touched. Make me an offer.

    Well i liked the Blair witch films cause they were bad alright.
    But when i think of films that are so bad they are good the aussie films always come to mind like bad taste and death warmed up. Peter jackson went on to do great things after bad taste, he made a nice little film called Lord of the Rings.

    Zombie Flesh Eaters II!

    My favourite quote is when one of the guys in the film just turns into a zombie and says 'I'm feeling much better but I'm thirsty for your blood!'. Oh, not to mention the bit where the scientists are trying to find a cure for the evil zombie virus by using paper and pens! One of the scientists even comes out with this gem, 'Maybe, if we mix these two molecules together . . .'!

    Classic stuff.

    Zombie Flesh Eaters had possibly the single coolest action sequence ever - Zombie Vs Shark

    Evil dead was designed to be a horror comedy, just watch the makings of.
