I have a sneaking suspicion that you're thinking of 'parents' by bob balaban, which is actually a great little satire.

Indeed I was, thanks! I only have a very dim memory of it. I do remember enjoying it but have blurred it now with the people beneath the stairs.
Jennifer's body-, don't need to see it, but it's obvious why anybody did.
Teeth- It was..shocking, but it was poorly executed.
And pretty much anything new today.Almost all horror flicks today are cheap, boring, and attempting to create new ''things'' such as Jason made hockey masks have a reputation, Pennywise gave Clowns a reputation..
C'mon, what ever happened to Tales from the crypt? That series is scarier than anything produced today that's a movie.
EDIT:
Oh, and the human centipede was actually not half bad. It was all implied horror, letting your imagination do the magic. Not to mention it's a foreign movie.

And that is why you hear people yelling FOR THE EMPEROR rather than FOR LOGICAL AND QUANTIFIABLE BASED DECISIONS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE MAJORITY!

Either in Space, or in da hood. Im leaning more towards in Da hood. I wonder how long Warwick Davis stared at himself in the mirror before finishing that movie. Dear god I think I just vomited in my mouth.
One I just saw the other night which sucked hard was called, 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The next Generation' or New Generation something?
I wanted to scratch my eyes out after the end rolled. It sucked worse than that 'Jason' film where he ends up on a space ship in the future and becomes Robojason!

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.
I'm with you on this one. While the Saw movies have kind of degenerated into torture porn, they're actually fairly well done. Good special effects, some pretty decent acting (Tobin Bell is fantastic as Jigsaw, even when he just appears as John Kramer) and the story isn't half-bad, even if it isn't nearly as good as the first in the series. Plus, every movie has a twist ending that most people don't see coming - although I admit the 5th "twist" ending was pretty blatantly obvious if you were paying attention at all.
For my own contribution, I'd like to point out Cube 2: Hypercube. The first was pretty good - a decent thriller with some neat traps, some good acting (including Nicole de Boer, who would go on to play Ezri Dax in Star Trek: Deep Space 9) and an interesting storyline with very little backstory. The third wasn't bad either, showing it from a different point of view this time. The second, however, didn't make a lick of sense. Especially since everything that happened inside the cube was explained away as "Science is AWESOME."

Yes. Ive been a TCM fan for years. And that movie was a steaming turd in every sense of the word.

The first 'Cube' was Awesome! It was on SPACE one night and I remember being totally confused but captivated at the same time. Ended up watching it from start to finish and I don't regret it at all
Yea CUBE was an OLD playstation game demo thing from when the system first launched and it was a cool puzzle game where if you messed up, you died horribly.
I agree the first CUBE was just a cool ass scifi movie. I got bored with the 2nd in about 10 minutes.

However, personally I think it is awesome, so appalingly bad that it is awesome!
Thank god someone mentioned Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!
As for my contribution:
THE KILLER SHREWS!
Classic 1959 horror baby! if you look carefully, you can see that the shrews are in fact dogs with shaved heads + tails!
If you look even closer,you can see the hero in "Killer Shrews" is James Best,who later went on to play the role of Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane on the Dukes of Hazzard,positive proof that if you manage to escape an island full of bad special effects,you can enjoy you later years chasing down rednecks and crashing your patrol car into ditches week after week.

'The people under the stairs'. I remember seeing it when I was young and being freaked out by it. Then I saw it again years and years later and laughed at it.

I have no idea how this one managed to slide under the radar for three entire pages.
Street Trash.
This movie is commonly regarded as the worst film ever made. It's a bastard child of 80's horror, cross-bred with the director's 'comedic' fixation on some truly disgusting gak.
It's technically about a liquor store owner who finds a case of alcohol in the shop's cellar called Tenafly Viper, and so he decides to sell it to bums for a dollar a pop. It ends up making anyone who drinks it melt into a bright fluorescent paste of some sort. While the melting scenes are admittedly kind of cool, the rest of the movie drags itself down so far that there is literally nothing that could save it.
The worst part of the movie is the way it attempts to be 'comedy' horror by being ridiculously over-the-top, but the subjects it touches on simply aren't funny by any stretch of the imagination. Street Trash contains scenes of necrophilia, rape, and even a scene where a guy gets his penis cut off and the other bums play keep-away with it. This is all overlaid by what is obviously meant to be comedic overtones, but the end result just makes me sick, honestly.
The acting is absolutely awful, the writing and the general storyline are atrocious, and the camera work is incredibly bad. Even if the subject matter and plot of this movie were completely different, Street Trash would still manage to be one of the worst movies ever made. The disgusting aspects just manage to drag it down even further. This is one of those very rare movies that actually manage to leave a bad taste in your mouth for quite some time after you've finished watching it.

I sold most of my miniatures, and am currently working on bringing my own vision of the Four Colors of Chaos to fruition
Monsters and Possessed both spring to mind (I think those are the titles). Really low budget films, but both really crap with few positive features (if any).
And I have to say that I've seen Jennifer's Body, and it was OK. Not exactly a great horror film, but it was not a terrible film. The ending was an interesting idea, but poorly explained - kind of tacked onto the film.

I have to agree,Jennifer's Body wasn't a "bad" film,now...it was by no means great,but it was certainly "watchable",although,as you commented Silver,the ending could have been done better.

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've watched it twice. I can't figure out anything semblancing a plot. I know three other people that have watched it,and none of them can figure out any kind of a plot,either. It just sort of rambles along without any kind of coherent storyline. The acting is horrid. It's suppossed to take place in a zombie apocalypse,but you only see a handful of zombies throughout the entire movie. The thing is so horribly low-budgeted that there's a scene where a guy is suppossed to be going to town on some zombies with a chainsaw...except when you look closely,you realize that the chainsaw is actually an electric hedge trimmer.
Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, I think its meant to be sorta horror....I really don't know, the only good thing about it is the crazy doctor. One of those so bad its good films.
On a side note, can anyone tell me the name of a horror movie (at least I believe it was horror) where the bad guy says "Just Kidding", I can remember a scene where this guy floats past a door at the end of a corridor and says it...
Edit: Got beaton to JC:VH I see... How about Boa vs Python? (From IMDB) After an overly ambitious businessman transports an 80-foot python to the United States, the beast escapes and starts to leave behind a trail of human victims. An FBI agent and a snake specialist come up with a plot to combat the creature by pitting it against a bioengineered, 70-foot boa constrictor. It's two great snakes that snake great together!

Pandorum. I don't think it's bad film if they had attempted sci fi action, not sci fi horror/thriller, since so many of it's "scary" moments are action-y.
But for the most part it's pretty mediocore in its attempt at horror (even the aliens/creatures are a ripoff of the Xenomorph, the ship setting also from Alien, I could go on)
But, if you look past that, the story is pretty solid, the effects are good, and it makes for a fun watch if you go into it with the mindset of sci fi action.
"Return of the Living Dead"
Campy and way over the top. 80s post punks with one girl that looked like she belonged on 'Saved by the Bell"....
Best scene is when a young Linea Quigley strips in an abandoned cemetary..... And thats near the beginning.

"Madness is like gravity... All you need is a little push."
Zombie Strippers anyone? A bio-engineered zombie virus gets out and a single infected guy ends up in an illegal, underground strip club. Some of the strippers get infected and become super zombie strippers. Now that I think about it, its more of a comedy then a horor. At some point mid-way through the movie two of these zombie strippers start fighting and shooting pool balls out of their who-haws.
