Ok, I have 2 very real and very bad movies for consideration. Note that at the time of their release these were classified as "horror" movies.
Reptilicus - once reviewed as "better for you than a hand full of (sleeping pills < not the original choice but this is more forum friendly)
Plan 9 From Outer Space - so bad that when the star, Bela Legosi, died during shooting he was replaced by a double that looked nothing like him.

I actually own both of these movies , I paid less than a dollar for Reptilicus,found it in a "bargain bin" at a DVD outlet store.
Both are,IMO,in the "so bad they are great" category,especially Plan 9 from outer space,one of Ed Woods Masterpieces indeed.
In the spirit of "Reptilicus",I would like to add these "classics" to the pile.

Everyone just stop posting. You cannot top The Human Centipede.
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
I can throw in almost all of the "<blank> vs <blank>" movies, except Alien vs Predator which is still bad. Anyway, for example Komodo vs Cobra; giants Komodo Dragons and Cobras on an island, bunch of teenage enviromenatlists going to investigate 'Project Predator'. So all it is, from the six that go there, plus the one survivor from the lab there, almost all die. Just the boat captain, the survivor and another girl escape as the K. Dragon and the Cobra are, for the first time, looking like they could fight. And do they? NO.
War of The living dead.
1.One of the actors suck so much that it really makes me wonder what the producers were thinking.
2. they also had someone put make up but only on their faces so they have grey faces and skin coulor on the rest of their bodies.
3. dumb story line; zombies are making a farm of humans. to make things worse in the end its revieled that humans gave zombies the farm! BOO! ( yes that is in a sarcastic tone...)
4. sucky actors. (well, they do suck...)
5. boringness. the movie has no interesting scenes, and when there is a fight scene all the dumb puns ruin it. example: Guy breaks a zombies hand off. "need a hand?"
6. bland, unhuman script. The reactions of every character are so unhuman that you think that in this reality every one is dumb. (that might be true actually )
7.Did i say sucky actors? I also forgot to say about the sucky director(s)
so yeah those are the reasons for that movie. if anyone else watched this movie you are not alone....
I still get a kick out of the movie with the crazy married couple. You remember the one, when those kids are running in the walls and the dad is chasing them in full black leather bdsm gear wildly firing a shotgun at them.
Good times.

Really ..I'm honestly perplexed,as the definative (and superior) films that created and shaped the genre,are all pre 2000.

The People under the Stairs,the actor in the leather BDSM gear with the shotgun also played the Werewolf/Reverand Lowe in the film "Silver Bullet" that was based on Stephen Kings "Cycle of The Werewolf" novella.

Worst horror movie?
I Am Legend.
I saw that movie when it came out (think I was about 10 or so) and I thought it was stupid.
It was kinda like a zombie movie with about 90% of the zombies and scary bits taken out in exchange for
Spoiler:
Will Smith stabbing himself and crying over his dog

Kabal of the Void Dominator - now with more purple!
"And the moral of the story is: Appreciate what you've got, because basically, I'm fantastic."
I am Legend was a remake of
The Last Man on Earth with Charleton Heston which was a remake of
The Last Man on Earth starring Vincent Price.
However, the "monsters" were not meant to be zombies.. they were actually supposed to be more vampiric, thus the whole attack at night/avoid daylight thing.

Forbidden World(Also titled Mutant) Note-typical early 80's b-rated sci-fi movie that borders on soft-core p**n but has one of the most illogical yet ultra high cringe moments in cenimatic history.
I don't think this one has been mentione Either:
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes(The cult classic)
Return of the Killer Tomatoes-1988(Featuring a young George Clooney)
That should be enough for now, though I still maintain that Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter is the Worst.
Well, I did forget one from a very famous director:
Peter Jackson's- Bad Taste

Actually, I am Legend was yet another poorly made adaptation of Richard Matheson's book " I am Legend".
The Omega Man staring Charlton Heston and The Last Man on Earth staring Vincent Price ,were the other two film adaptations of the book.
You are corect that the " Infected" were intended to be "Vampiric" rather than "zombies",even though George Romero has credited Mathesons book as his inspiration for "Night of the Living dead".
IMO,one would do better to skip all three film versions,and just read the book,even though The Last man on Earth does have a bit of charm to it.

Much closer to the whole Vampire theme.... garlic and mirrors and such. And Yeah, It was Omega Man with Heston.... my bad.

My brother and I had this very argument. I argued that the creatures appeared closer to a middle line of mutans, rather than either extreme of zombie or vampire. Although if I had to choose between the two I would have argued that the film portrayed them as vampiric rather than zombie-like.
However, I still have trouble looking at it as a horror movie.

I don't think you're ever going to get very good answers for this one. The horror genre tends to be the "stepping stone" for the unwashed hordes that think they have the talent to be a director. As such, there's lots and lots of painfully low budget first attemtps on there. Jump on Netflix some time and see the stuff they have that streams. Pretty much anything with under 2 stars in the rating would work. Bad writing, bad acting, bad filming, bad sound, bad make-up...the list is endless.
A lot of folks will treat "I didn't like this movie" with "This movie is crap". The Saw/Hostel movies fall into this all the time. Some folks don't like torture porn. I can accept that, I don't like liver. It's a bit silly to say these movies are bad though. Aside from making a substantial amount of money, they DO have a certain level of refinement to them. The story, acting, technical qualities - all are quite good. The story/focus just doesn't jive with some folks, and that's fine.
Generally speaking though, I take anything that's been flagged "It's so bad it's good!" with a grain of salt.
I'm not like them, but I can pretend.

Nah. That'll always be one of those "Too good to be true" things. I do wish that she'd suffer a "Brandon Lee" moment if she ever decided to do another horror movie though.
