If evil dead 2 ended with just ASH going inside the paradox without showing where he went, it would've been okay. Agreed 100%

It wasn't THAT bad (I honestly didn't think it was bad at all, really) and there are plenty of worse films out there. Glares in the general direction of some of the DTV ripoffs, cash-ins and embarrassments of the past 30 years

And J, I couldn't agree more. Atrocious film but still worthy of existing just to show people that the film they've branded as the 'worst of all time' is NOT one of the worst.

Stoner Guy Posts: 1,797 Group: Members Member #52 Joined: Apr 20, 2013 Mood None	Looking back, I'm really starting to wonder if I should've given The Purge a 1 out of 5. I mean, it was painfully dull, poorly written, and a waste of a great premise, but it wasn't soul-suckingly horrible. OTOH, isn't that the whole point of giving a film just one star, to tell them that it's a big waste of time? As to the topic at hand, if I had the option to remove one horror film from history, I'd pick a movie that wasn't just bad, but one that did lasting damage to its franchise or to the horror genre. A bad film on its own is annoying, but when it leaves a mark, then it gets that much worse. As much as I hate Texas Chainsaw 3D (one film where I have no regrets about my 1 out of 5 review), it was an entry in a franchise that has been in a hole for a while, so not much of value was lost. So if it were up to me, I'd have to go with... Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare. Not only was it so painful to watch that I turned it off about half an hour in, but it buried not only the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, but also the slasher genre, and both of them on the worst possible note at that. Worse, it did so at a time when there was no new trend in horror to take the place of slashers, meaning that it sent the horror genre into a dark age for the first half of the '90s.

I Know how many runs you scored last summer, you may think its so bad its good but no, its just so bad. and last but not least The Fog 2005, anyone who has seen it knows why!

At least it was pretty memorable though unlike Howling 3 and 4 (which were better but forgettable). I stopped after 4 lol.
