While the lady sucks and irl is a nutjob, the movie puts her through hell and ends with her catching a cough, which can only be read as catching covid. So I wouldn't say there's no comeuppance. It's just not the kind you'd expect from the poo poo happening around her. My main complaint is that the rapping shtick she does is very unfunny even if that's intentional.

Yeah I couldn’t stand it because unlike Deadstream the joke isn’t on the terrible main character. Dashcam is built on the core idea that you gotta enjoy that lady’s poo poo just within the context of a horror film.

You just have to enjoy her antics enough to watch her for 90 minutes as she reacts to the horror movie as opposed to Deadstream where the horror movie is happening to the rear end in a top hat and the humor is in that. For my part I just got really sick of her poo poo well before the movie ended. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Oct 17, 2023 |

I think there's an argument to be made about the "worst" horror movie one's ever seen not necessarily being the technical worst (in which case it would like be one of the non-Demons Of Ludlow Bill Rebane movies for me) but the one that has the biggest gulf between critical acclaim, perceived quality, and personal enjoyment, to say nothing of reprehensible or disappointing messages or themes, etc. Or of course, ones that are Just Plain Dull. By that logic I think there are plenty of technically great or even critically-acclaimed horror movies that one can consider their worst. I know my two least favorite horror movies were beloved at the time of their release. But of course, all horror movies are good.

Right, I'm firmly of the opinion that the dirt worst thing a movie can be is boring. If I'm engaged by how bad a movie is, that's still leagues ahead of a movie I just can't pay attention to.

The problem is people go to “that’s the worst film” when they really mean “I personally didn’t like that”. So then a whole ton of perfectly competent, mediocre, and even popular films are labeled “complete garbage” or “the worst movie ever” or something because of some kind of sometimes reasonable, sometimes silly individual issue. Like it’s fine if you don’t like something other people like. It doesn’t have to be a thing.

I know my two least favorite horror movies were beloved at the time of their release. This criteria is pretty much why I have Midsommar and Hereditary at the bottom of my list. I just can't picture anyone watching those films without staring at their cellphones and then I see critical acclaim for them everywhere. I also find it reprehensible to prey on grief in order to elicit an emotional reaction from the audience. I find the cinematography to be hamfisted like when he flipped the camera upside down on the journey to the cult compound to signify Florence Pugh's character life turning upside down (which is high school film maker poo poo). People still like the films but since horror is subjective there's nothing wrong with them liking the films or me disliking them. Shrecknet posted:The shakycam in AASB literally made me sick and I couldn't listen to the shrieking child in Babadook. They aren't necessarily bad due to content, but physiological reactions (derogatory). Shaky cam was whatever I think it lended well to the limited budget they had. You could tell most of the underground area was shot without a ton of props or set work. They had to keep things dark and blurry since they were working with like 5 mil.

I honestly do think the elm street remake is the worst movie ever made. I think it’s a film that should be a slam dunk and fairly easy if they just tried. Heck honestly the angle that Freddy is innocent and he’s the hero? Go with that! That would be a great subversion and a fun nod to fans rooting for someone like Freddy But they just hosed it up. and I’ll go by Jay bauman’s time on set as well as Rooney Mara’s reaction that the whole production was rushed, made with zero love and respect for both the property and film itself and is just a testament to lazy rear end Hollywood. The thing had a budget, talent, and everything you need to make something good. But they just didn’t. And they cut out so much wacky stuff like there’s scenes of Kyle Gallner’s character getting his head split open and Freddy popping out as well as weird dream imagery that they axed for no reason. Disgusting. Compare that with the Friday remake which you can see the care and love put into the concept and film where everyone gave a little bit of a poo poo at what they were doing.

The worst horror films I've ever seen are all boring and forgettable because they're just random cheap found footage films I see when I'm dumpster diving on tubi. poo poo I'll never remember. For movies i genuinely genuinely hated but at least were memorable (so not the worst worst)...The Bay, Better Watch Out (edgy white guy bullshit like Freeway), and Train to Busan (im sorry but it's so loving generic Hollywood zombie movie, seriously what is the appeal? Is this for the people who can't tell when writing is bad in anime unless it's dubbed? It got raved about and when i saw it i was like...really yall? This?) See also: The Den, Mister Creep, As Above So Below, Grave Encounters 2, Rec 3, Come True (had me for the first half tho), The Deep House, The Final Destination (whatever number one that was).

Punkin Spunkin posted:Better Watch Out This would also be on my list of real garbage but for different reasons than Feardotcom and for different reasons than one of the movies named Escape Room and for different reasons than Tales From the Hood 3. But I liked a lot of the other movies you mentioned (The Bay, Train to Busan). Come True I liked until the ending. It's all subjective, different things piss off or bore different people. I hated The Loved Ones and that has a pretty high average letterboxd rating, it is what it is. I watched Bit (2019) today which has been mentioned in here a few times recently. It was pretty good.

extremely extremely weird to say that train to busan is bad for reasons I can only describe as "borderline racist" the appeal is that it's a well-written zombie movie with cool zombies in a cramped setting that has a rock-solid emotional core and enough to say socially that it gives it some heft. But sure, people say it's good because they can't tell if acting in another language is good or bad or whatever

I don't think ya got what I was saying there...just insert "French film" instead of anime I guess, anime is just very popular and more often dubbed. My point was that it was to its core, a generic Hollywood action/zombie movie, and that's fine, other countries can and should make those, but that also means absolutely nothing about it stood out to me. Rock solid emotional core? It's the same boring "dad who works too much" bullshit you've seen a thousand times. Everything about it was hyper generic. Bet he was divorced too. But yeah this is all subjective, like obviously everything I say about a movie is just my opinion

Train to Busan is definitely a step up in quality from generic hollywood, but that doesn't help it stand out that much because the 'pretty good' zombie movie field is relatively crowded. If you're a buff who's seen them all, it's nothing special. If it's the second or third zombie movie you've ever seen, it's a banger.
