"Films that are so bad..."

...they're good.

We've all seen them. "The Blob", "Death Race 2000" and all the Italian horror films are my personal favourites.

Any others I may have missed?

I don't think films that are supposed to be the way they are sa "so bad they're good". Surely it's only unintentional comedy. In which case I nominate "From Beyond the Grave". It has an electric-chaired biker/robber who comes back from the grave, as a clown, to avenge the death of his biker/robber girlfriend. And it finishes with the son of the revenge victim throwing a flaming football through a window 300feet away to ignite a gas-filled school.

Evil Dead 2

Excellent :)

I can't believe it took that long for the Bulletproof Monk to be mentioned. Come on people! He shoots bullets out of the air and stuff!

It was straight to DVD, yeah. I keep seeing it at the rental shop and being tempted, but I know that it's utter dross, with none of the original characters. A bit like Bring It On Again.

Got this on DVD for some reason, it's terrible.

The one with Emilio Estivez? Saw this on TV when I was young, really scared me - the bit at the kiddie baseball game? Jesus!

Is this the one with the 3D goggle bits? Hahaha, dross.

None of these are Bulletproof Monk, though.

That film's wonderfully bad. I'm still yet to watch the sequel, though I hear it's just as awful.

I'll have to say Thirteen Ghosts, The dead next door and pretty much any Italian Zombie movie ever made. I've seen so many awful but entertaining horror movies, I could be here all day listing them.

Anyone else seen 'Bog Creatures'?

It's entertaining for all the wrong reasons.

Apparently they re-used footage from the first film. Sounds pretty bad, to be honest. Sounds like my kinda film :-D

EDIT: And 'HOTD' might have been watchable if not for the random direction and dizzy bullet time.

It's awful, but not in a so bad it's good way.
