Slither: Comedy or horror films was never made clear to me by this one. A film I wouldn't watch even if drunk.
Jennifer's Body: I've seen all of five minutes of this film. That is enough to know it sucks.
The Saw Movies (After Number Three): Up to number three, they were scary in that the story was so freaky. AFter three, it became gorno.
The Hills Have Eyes (Pt.2): First one crepped me out with the effects and stpory, second was just a slasher film.
Hostel 1&2: Eli Roth, please stop making movies!!

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
Being terrible is what makes horror movies so great. It's not worth wasting your time being critical of anything but the director or writer's attempts to make their thin premise into a truly scary thing to witness. Which is basically impossible. When I sit down with a pile of horror movies, it's for a barrel of laughs. The Scary Movie series is completely redundant IMO. The three things a scary movie can do is present a claustrophobic situation, gross you out and try to make you jump.
Admittedly, you can go a long way with those three things, but very rarely do all three fit together in an even barely convincible fashion.
Couldn't agree more with the OP on the subject of the torture porn that passes for horror movies anymore. I thought that Troll 2 was hysterical though!

My Name is Bruce. Just watched this gem last night. Nothing beats for bad like Bruce Campbell playing...... Bruce Campbell.
Of all the races of the universe the Squats have the longest memories and the shortest tempers. They are uncouth, unpredictably violent, and frequently drunk. Overall, I'm glad they're on our side!

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.
Bruce Campbell is the Linnea Quigley of the past decade.

Dude... GTFO. Now. You do not mock any of the Bruce's movies. Not even Bubba Ho-Tep.
He is good in the original The Evil Dead though.
Apparently, GES, I don't care what you presume I think of whom. For the record, though, I think BC is a prty kool guy. He kils deadite and doesnt afraid of anything!
Bubba Ho-Tep kind of really sucked though. Not corny enough, IMO, and nary a gorestorm erupted from a wall.
I'm no horror expert, I usually watch them between my fingers, but that 30 days of night, or whatever the frak it was called, the one set in Alaska with vampires was the worst stinker I've ever seen, worse that Starship Troopers 3.
Worst
Film
Ever
Even worse though, all of my friends loved it, and just kept saying that I didn't know horror films so I wouldn't appreciate it.
I hate it when people say that!

If you've never heard of it, it's because it was a very limited release.
If you've never seen it, be thankful(unless you enjoy intentionally bad movies with parts like nunchucks made of babies and Jesus masturbating through his crucifixion holes).

@Stompa: Troll 2 isn`t the worst film ever, Hard Streets is. Check it out:
Edit: I checked out Troll on Wikipedia, here`s a nice little spoiler:
Using a magic crystal green ring, it captures Wendy and possesses her form. After meeting the other eccentric tenants, the family notices Wendy's unusual behavior (roaring, biting, tossing people across rooms), but they attribute her behavior to the stress of the move. The only one that notices something is terribly wrong is Wendy's brother, Harry Potter Jr.

I prefer Campbell's movies,but I see what your getting at...of course,if I even see Bruce Campbell make a tube of lipstick disappear in the same fashion as Linnea Quigley did in Demons...my head may explode.
