428,419 | 3,079,504 | 308,208 | 1 | Can't we go into negative ratings ? | I liked the trailers , I hoped for the best and then sat in dumbstruck horror as one of the worst films ever made ( as in so bad its painful to watch bad ) unspooled before my eyes . Rumor has it that the film makers know a thing about movie making . I know the cast does , but what wanders across the screen looks like ... |
428,315 | 3,079,504 | 268,295 | 1 | Worst film by a director of any standing ever | This is nothing more than a cheap ass home movie done by a director who should have known better . Its not that there is anything wrong with this being made but the look and feel of it is that of a goof made among friends over a weekend for their own amusement . Regrettably someone though the rest of the world would fi... |
428,639 | 3,079,504 | 53,240 | 1 | Grabage | the Day the Earth Froze is one of the worst pieces of cinematic garbage I've ever seen . Don't get me wrong I like the fantasies of director Aleksandr Ptushko . I Love The Sword and the Dragon , I like the Magic Voyage of Sinbad and some of his Ruslan and Ludmila is gorgeous . His films are cinematic storybooks and the... |
428,440 | 3,079,504 | 360,916 | 1 | Real Bad | It was bound to happen , the TV reality craze bled into the film industry , but did it have to be so bad ? Shot in ten days then rushed into theaters a few weeks later it was then rushed into video stores where it destroyed countless more minds , this film has to have the fastest turn around time on record . Hey I've a... |
428,783 | 3,079,504 | 338,763 | 1 | Avoid at All Costs | Three years after the events in the first film the Japanese government sends a class of kids out to kill the survivors of the last game who have now become terrorists . Everything I've read on this movie says that people either really love this or really hate it . Personally , I don't think one can hate this film enoug... |
427,188 | 3,079,504 | 67,179 | 1 | Awful | Awful anime . The animation is even more limited than the stuff Rankin Bass would turn out years later . Its dubbed by Chuck McCann and friends for the Hal Roach Studios and its awful . I can't tell if the source was bad or the English dub , but its bad . Ten minutes and I was screaming , " no no no " while reaching fo... |
428,023 | 3,079,504 | 74,855 | 1 | One of the worst | Italian rip off of Mandingo and The Drum is a badly dubbed Italian life on the plantation yarn . Lots of people who don't look like they belong in the American South wear badly tailored costumes and wander around locations that look nothing like the American south . The plot has something about the romance between a ri... |
428,977 | 3,079,504 | 178,790 | 1 | One of the worst . . . and not in a good way | Also known as " Sesso " or " Sexual Inadequacies " ( the title on the Something Weird print ) It begins with the birth of a baby and goes down hill from there . OH GOD THIS IS BAD Rarely do I give up five minutes into a film , but this is one of those movies . Its suppose to be a look at sex through the deviants , what... |
429,012 | 3,079,504 | 55,450 | 1 | Home movie | Early Joe Sarno film is little more than a home movie . I think even fans of his later films are going to be hard pressed to sit through this mess of a movie concerning strippers , voodoo and god know what else . To be honest I watched about twenty minutes of this before it became too much and I ended up watching the r... |
428,731 | 3,079,504 | 366,282 | 1 | Surely on the list of all time bad bad ( unfun ) movies | This is the brief story of a bunch of male space explorers looking for women to impregnate before they are no longer able to have children . Somehow they end up on a planet where they are captured and chatter as women in latex clothing fight each other and roll around on the floor to really bad music . I can't say more... |
429,097 | 3,079,504 | 1,142,800 | 1 | The worst Tyler Perry film . See the play instead | I'm a Tyler Perry fan . Even when I don't like one of his films I find some spark that makes me certain he's bound for an Oscar . Unfortunately this is the first time I've felt that he's missed the boat and maybe heading for a crash . The plot has an assistant district attorney helping an old friend , now a hooker , in... |
427,657 | 3,079,504 | 1,028,528 | 1 | emperor has no clothes . This film isn't much of anything | This started as part of the double feature feature Grindhouse and it has now been released as a single film . I didn't like it in Grindhouse and seeing it alone I think this is a pretty poor film . The dialog is exactly like rejected dialog from Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction . The most of the dialog serves no real pur... |
427,822 | 3,079,504 | 94,384 | 1 | The collision of old and new footage is dreadful . Look for the original film before its improvements instead | Godfrey Ho clip job film where new footage of white guys wearing head bands that say " ninja " on them are inter-cut with footage from what looks to be a decent kung fu film . The footage never matches and the resulting story makes no sense . Its a shame that Godfrey Ho has had his clip job films become more readily av... |
428,363 | 3,079,504 | 64,307 | 1 | How anyone connected with this turkey ever worked again is beyond me | TCM recently ran the legendary EXTRAORDINARY SEAMAN with David Niven Alan Alda and Faye Dunaway , not to mention Mickey Rooney and a few other great character actors . This is a really bad movie , not fun , just bad . The premise has Niven as a dead sea captain haunting a boat until he does a heroic act ( Its WW2 and h... |
428,554 | 3,079,504 | 121,766 | 1 | Better than the last two but not as good as it should have been | George Lucas has finished this latest Star Wars trilogy with what should have been the best of any of them but poor acting , laughable plot twists due in what is actually an okay movie . The problem in part is that Lucas has to get things to where we know they should be so he's been forced to twist events to get there ... |
428,627 | 3,079,504 | 29,207 | 1 | One of the worst mysteries ever put on film | Eddie Quillan gives one of his worst performances as Ellery Queen . The plot involves the theft of a rare stamp and the murders that occur in its wake . Quillan , as Queen gets involved with the mystery after he meets the owner when she arrives in New York by boat . The mystery itself is fine . I can even live with the... |
428,472 | 3,079,504 | 265,587 | 1 | Jaw droppingly bad . . . and weird . . . and strange . . . and just bad . . . in a funny sort of way | There is a point where one sees things that one can't watch because its so hysterically funny one will die from laughter from continued viewing . There is a point where on realizes that those who have deemed Ed Wood and his films the worst ever made never looked hard enough . ( anyone who starts down the road of bad mo... |
426,889 | 3,079,504 | 478,216 | 1 | One of the worst | Woman who may or may not be crazy has dreams about a demon called the nightmare man . It takes its form from a fertility mask and when she's left alone by her husband when they run out of gas the demon comes after her and chases her to a house in the woods . Awful just really awful . This was part of the after dark hor... |
427,536 | 3,079,504 | 52,604 | 2 | This should have worked . . . | Maybe its the dubbing , but this story of a Greek hero who is at first the key to taking control of Athens and later to beating the invading the Persians , should have worked . Certainly it's the best looking Steve Reeves movie , with some really good action sequences but this movie is awful . If its not the the dubbin... |
428,736 | 3,079,504 | 400,837 | 2 | A movie only people who are too scared to buy a real porno movie would like | A cheap exploitation film about a mothers search for her daughter who has been kidnapped by people who make snuff porno films . The trail leads the mother all over Europe as she searches for her child and we in the audience struggle to stay asleep . This is one of the countless soft-core sleaze films that are made for ... |
428,467 | 3,079,504 | 35,007 | 2 | Mad mess of a movie that shoots itself in the foot by badly blending comedy and horror . Only notable as Lionel Atwill's last leading role | Lionel Atwill plays Br Benson a scientist experimenting with suspended animation . Atwill has found a way of putting animals in to suspended animation , then curing their disease and then bringing them back to life . Unfortunately when he tries to move to people the good doctor finds that he can not revive his subjects... |
427,613 | 3,079,504 | 485,782 | 2 | How low some people will go for a paycheck | Poor battle between Vampires flick . Paycheck job for the names ( Tony Todd , Jason Connery and C Thomas Howell ) this is one of those movies you look at and wonder if anyone was taking it seriously or whether anyone was doing it for more than the money . Okay Tony Todd maybe took thing a bit too seriously ( he's way t... |
428,073 | 3,079,504 | 308,132 | 2 | Trash cinema | The original exploitation classic-though far from enjoyable on almost any level concerning some guys who turn cats into human flesh eating monsters because the cat food they make is made with people is remade with scifi elements added . The cats can't get enough and when the flesh tainted food runs out the cats turn on... |
429,082 | 3,079,504 | 65,603 | 2 | Really bad horror film from the Phillipenes | This is a bad film . Its not a good bad movie , its just a bad movie . The plot has something to do with the adult children of a family finding out that their mother hasn't really been dead , rather she was changed into a vampire and had been kept locked up by their father in a secret crypt . I've run across this movie... |
427,940 | 3,079,504 | 784,972 | 2 | Stupid | Stupid , and I do mean stupid , tale of two home school raised social misfits with high IQ's who want to give their comatose dying father a grandchild , but are unable to get any woman to go out with them . Bob Odenkirk should keep this occasionally-very occasionally-funny but incredibly stupid movie off his resume if ... |
426,969 | 3,079,504 | 122,050 | 2 | Really bad . Though picking on it with drunk friends might help | Live action version of Dragonball via Taiwan . Evil lord comes to earth to get the seven magic dragon balls . . . er pearls which when brought together will cause a dragon to appear and grant your wish . Lots of action and bad comedy ensue . What can I say that " the best way to watch this film is with lots of drunk bu... |
428,435 | 3,079,504 | 347,331 | 2 | Dull . Really Dull . | I'm going to go the long way round in discussing this movie , so stay with me . I recently had a discussion over lunch about the Japanese comics that are translated for the American audience . Why were some comics brought to America while others , many that the Japanese consider so much better , are left in Japan ? The... |
427,787 | 3,079,504 | 408,839 | 2 | failed mash up of romantic comedy and low brow humor | Yes , yes it is . Its just so bad its heartbreaking . Its as if two movies , a sweet romantic comedy was grafted onto a low brow comedy with the effect being it just awful . I mean that not because I think this should have been a sweet romantic comedy , rather that its so bad that not even the low brow humor works . Be... |
428,753 | 3,079,504 | 831,887 | 2 | The director should stick to comics | Frank Miller directs an adaptation of Will Eisner's " classic " character for the big screen . What can I say ? Punisher War Zone was as close to a Punisher comic as you can get ( And one that Lion's Gate has ripped from theaters because it bombed so badly ) and The Spirit is as close to a Frank Miller comic as you can... |
429,060 | 3,079,504 | 282,484 | 2 | Despite attempts by all involved this is a low grade mafia movie . | This far from particularly anything mafia movie is not worth bothering with . Its the story of two generations of gangsters in Philadelphia doing what gangsters do . Its loaded with low level character actors , most of whom have made their careers playing these sort of roles . While they may be fine in support , here ,... |
428,668 | 3,079,504 | 990,376 | 2 | A waste of time | released with no publicity or anything a few weeks back I saw this on a couple of movie Marquees and went to investigate . Family friendly ( they hoped ) TV movie about a 17 or 18 year old girl going to visit the family of a deceased childhood friend . There she runs into a mystery involving ghosts and a death curse . ... |
429,001 | 3,079,504 | 126,659 | 2 | Bad feature version of a bad serial . Containing possibly the worst Bela Lugosi nonperformance , this is a movie to avoid unless you like to torture yourself | Feature version of a serial of the same name has Bela Lugosi turning tables on a woman who hired him to help with her evil plans in Chinatown while a reported and her beau hunt down the villains . One of the few things worse than this movie is the full length serial version . That monstrosity put me to sleep with its w... |
429,108 | 3,079,504 | 1,142,974 | 2 | Bad | Owner of a failing jewelry store , who also happens to be an ex thief decides to give it ago one more time to save himself . A cut or two above the amateur ranks this film isn't very good with our hero seeming to sit brooding in every other scene and the people around him often playing to the camera . Its as if no one ... |
427,675 | 3,079,504 | 848,557 | 2 | George Romero's worst film is an illogical bust | George Romero restarts his Zombie series by using the conceit of a film crew interrupted making a horror by the start of the zombie nonsense and filming as they try to go home to be with family and friends . Internally inconsistent ( everything has movie lighting no matter where anyone is ? ) and at times down right st... |
428,381 | 3,079,504 | 408,345 | 2 | Harrison Ford in his worst performance makes this an unbearable film | Harrison Ford gives his worst performances as a computer security expert who's family is kidnapped so he'll help a band of thieves rob his bank . From the first frame to the last Ford looks like he'd rather be anywhere other than making this film . His displeasure carries over and makes this an almost impossible movie ... |
427,915 | 3,079,504 | 366,362 | 2 | A waste of your time even if you must see every horror movie ever made | Good effects are totally wasted in this lousy Chinese horror film . The plot has some friends vacationing in Thailand . While out adventuring the group sees a and video tapes a young woman being pushed into the street and run over . Later that night their camera begins to turn itself on and cause strange things to happ... |
427,223 | 3,079,504 | 443,626 | 2 | No one on screen cares so no one in the audience does | No budget direct to video tale of aliens in Arizona involving the military and escaped convicts . Not bad as such , rather it suffers from the cast and crew sort of going through the paces instead of trying to sell it . Its as if they knew they were in a grade z movie and want you to know they know . Then again maybe t... |
426,884 | 3,079,504 | 890,870 | 2 | more of the same | After an opening graphic autopsy of Jigsaw the film settles down into the usual game of nasty traps so that people will finally feel alive , as Jigsaw has left some messages from beyond the grave . Technically a better film than the previous two this film suffers from total illogic and the damning flaw ( as have all bu... |
428,529 | 3,079,504 | 40,289 | 2 | Awful dumbing down of a classic British hero . Skip this movie and watch the other two films in the series instead . | Based on the classic British Radio series this clunker of a movie is a series of bad choices ( which they corrected for the next two movies ) , and one of the worst films Hammer Studios ever produced . The plot of this film has to do with smuggling and Nazi spies in and around a small English Village . The villain is a... |
427,968 | 3,079,504 | 362,165 | 2 | Inept direction and poor choice of leads sinks this film | For the record this is the story of the mask which was created by Loki , who after many centuries tries to find it again , only to have it fall into the hands of an animator and his infant son . This film raises several interesting questions , first and foremost is why is Jaime Kennedy a star when he has no talent what... |
426,802 | 3,079,504 | 443,453 | 2 | I'm seemingly in the minority , I really don't like this movie | Sasha Cohen pretends to be a reporter visiting America and makes fun of people in the process . I understand the humor . I get the jokes . I just don't find them funny . Yes I'm in that seemingly small group of people who don't find Borat funny , or even particularly clever . No , I'm not a fan of Ali G , one of Cohen'... |
427,749 | 3,079,504 | 35,938 | 2 | Bad direction , awful lead acting and cheapness turn what could have been an okay comedy / mystery in to a painful viewing experience | A newlywed couple spend their honeymoon in their " new " house instead of going to California . They are invaded by the police , a retired hangman , an escaped prisoner , a band of crooks and several dead bodies , all looking for something , either the crook or the loot hidden somewhere in the house . a humorous myster... |
427,746 | 3,079,504 | 35,939 | 2 | Awfully dull | This is the easiest to get of the Bowery Boys movies for two reasons its in the Public Domain and it has Bela Lugosi in it as a Nazi spy . Regrettably its a painful viewing experience and probably has turned more people off the the films of the Bowery Boys than any other . The plot has the boys fixing up a house for th... |
427,895 | 3,079,504 | 937,237 | 2 | This movie should be redacted-not for what it says rather because its just isn't any good | Brian DePalma finally makes a movie I don't like at all . Essentially a collection of video diaries , security footage and web postings around a rape in Iraq . this is an attempt at investigating a rape of an Iraqi woman by US soldiers . It shows the boredom of being in the country and what being so far from home can l... |
427,942 | 3,079,504 | 425,638 | 2 | Faithful but , but painful to watch film , thats mostly people walking from place to place | You gotta hand it to Timothy Hines , he has done the first period set , feature length version of War of the Worlds . Its 3HOURS long and reasonably faithful to the book . This is probably not a good thing . If you can get used to the on the cheap effects and sets , almost everything is a digital composite shot , then ... |
426,935 | 3,079,504 | 82,801 | 2 | Mean spirited and ugly | I suppose this looked good on paper but the story of an everyman being tormented by his neighbors is simply an excuse for abusing the audience . I should talk , I've willingly sat down and watched this film a couple of times over the years , trying to figure out what several friends found so screamingly funny in this m... |
429,047 | 3,079,504 | 120,913 | 2 | How many people does it take to ruin a movie ? | This is one of the worst movies ever made . Its not so bad its good , its just bad . This is a film that actually has some wonderful things in it but its so badly put together with dreck that one wants to look for the masking tape holding the pieces of film together . Nominally the story of a young hero trying to save ... |
427,102 | 3,079,504 | 805,497 | 2 | Pointless collection of people talking about flops and hits never amounts to much of anything | Easily the dumbest documentary HBO has ever been involved in this is a " look " at what makes a hit or a flop . Using loose subject headings various people talk about how we can never know what will hit or what will miss . We see how the rules of one moment don't apply to the next . There is also a good deal of discuss... |
428,040 | 3,079,504 | 374,519 | 2 | See Planet of Dinosaurs instead | Using footage pillaged from Planet of Dinosaurs this shot on video ( except for the stolen footage ) concerns a bunch of people shot into space who land on a dinosaur planet that is . . . don't wait for it , is really earth . Its a five minute sketch stretched to 90 minutes . Slightly better than Chickboxer ( another i... |
428,664 | 3,079,504 | 426,931 | 2 | I HATE this film | You will either buy into this contrived tale of orphan who hears music then runs off New York to find his parents or you won't . I didn't . Cloyingly cute I had no patience for it and squirmed from the opening bits of the kid conducting the wind , through the flash back meeting of young rock star dad and rich girl cell... |
427,687 | 3,079,504 | 358,928 | 2 | Why are we being asked to watch this ? I don't know since its an hour you will never get back | This is the story of Carol Morley's wild and wanton years back in the 1980's . The film is a series of talking heads of the people Carol slept and partied with back on the 1980's while she was in a band inter-cut with old film footage and new film footage . Carol doesn't appear on film and the film is structured as if ... |

426,879 | 3,079,504 | 86,247 | 2 | Thank God , that means we'll never have to watch this again | This is one of the worst Japanese big budget films I've run across . The plot has something to do with a project concerning Jupiter going horribly wrong and . . . you really don't want to know . Trust me as bad as you think some of the Godzilla movies and films like The Green Slime are , this is worse , but not in a go... |
427,071 | 3,079,504 | 352,014 | 3 | Unfunny sex comedy | This is essentially the joke of the farmers daughter stretched to 90 minutes . For my taste thats 89 minutes too long . Think of it as a good looking sex comedy that isn't really funny or sexy . Clearly its suppose to be and many of the cast mug shamelessly , in the hopes of getting a laugh or disrobe in the hopes of g... |
428,324 | 3,079,504 | 126,223 | 3 | The performances of a burlesque stars and nothing else . | A filmed performance of a Burlesque show in Harlem . Like most of the films like this there is little beyond the acts them selves . Its a mixed lot . This was clearly shot on a stage with the camera simply filming what was going on on stage . Unfortunately the camera work for this film is extremely limited consisting o... |
427,462 | 3,079,504 | 186,483 | 3 | For buck its worth it | Clips from Bruce Lee's films he made as a child are followed by a knock off kung fu story without Lee that really isn't very good . I picked this up in the dollar bin and for a buck it was worth it . The opening stuff of Bruce Lee as a child is interesting since you see Lee's charisma even at an early age . Unfortunate... |
427,538 | 3,079,504 | 52,538 | 3 | Another Steve Reeves Clunker | Reeves plays Haji Murad , a hero in 1850's Russia . This is a badly dubbed movie , with June Foray doing some of the voices .

427,416 | 3,079,504 | 70,526 | 3 | A kiss ? No none for me thanks | 1970's horror movie that seems more silly then scary with an evil scientist and psychic countess lurking about in the dungeon of a castle making efforts to raise the dead . The ghoul they bring back looks rather silly and would have looked silly when the film was made . The look and sensibility of the film is decidedly... |
428,490 | 3,079,504 | 65,168 | 3 | Looks good but is otherwise a mess | Jean Rollin artistic nonsense about vampires , aliens and the quest for immortality .

427,936 | 3,079,504 | 372,873 | 3 | The monsters attacks are some of the best visuals in years . The rest of the film is one of the worst . | First off you don't see any dragons until the end , serpents , monsters and other nasties but an actual Asian dragon only at the end .

427,085 | 3,079,504 | 61,412 | 3 | A rare watchable Al Adamson film | Okay I'm going to say something that I can rarely said to have ever willingly said , this is a watchable Al Adamson movie . Adamson was a bad filmmaker from the late 1960's and early 1970's who churned out a great deal of really bad , and not in a fun sort of way , films . A good many of them had John Carradine , which... |
428,557 | 3,079,504 | 156,205 | 3 | Bad TV adaptation of a good book | The source material of this TV movie is a novel called White Shark . It was a failure when published since the public thought it was about a great white shark , instead of what it was , namely a crazed tale about a Nazi experiment re-awakened . The novel's plot played like the movie Shock Waves , but gorier and loopier... |

427,830 | 3,079,504 | 792,986 | 3 | The black and white art is great , the stories considerably less so since they echo any number of short horror tales from TV , radio , movie or books | Multipart animated film from France that is probably high on the love list of Mike Mignola and Frank Miller since its very often all black screens with very little white . Another one from IFC Films that is a rather disappointing film on all but the artistic level . The stories are linked by a lord of some sort walking... |
428,915 | 3,079,504 | 1,250,968 | 3 | Not so good adaption of a novel that was turned into a classic of world cinema 20 years earlier | Live action version ( or is that revision ? ) of a novel that was turned into one of the greatest animated films ( and possibly any sort of film ) ever made .
