I've seen Zombie Lake (1981). The poster was the best thing about it.
Seriously, I love good horror films - but boy do they churn out plentiful amounts of garbage in order to make a quick buck!
Troll 2 (1990) is comedy gold though. One of the funniest movies I've ever watched. It's unbelievable how anyone thought the movie was anything but an incompetent mess. The acting, the script and the dialogue are all joyfully horrendous.

Xtro (1982) I thought was, well "good" might be a bit too kind, but it was not all that bad, and kind of a creepy or chilling sci-fi horror film, that reminded me a bit of a Cronenberg influenced b-movie. Also, it got some nice scenes with the lovely Maryam d'Abo as well. Breeders (1986) was also one I quite enjoyed back in the day, kind of a sleazy b-movie sci-fi horror film. Troll 2 (1990) is one of those, yeah, I did not love it as much as others, but a pretty decent b-movie, still I somehow enjoyed the first one a little more. Most of the other titles, I have never seen nor do I have any plans of doing either, but from the look of it, I think that is probably the wisest thing to do for now.

Creature From the Haunted Sea is really bad-the creature looks like Homer Simpson in seaweed.
Actually, your list shows the buyer beware issue with movies that have no stars.
No stars and the chances for amateur terribleness usually goes up.
Or at least that used to be the case.
Day of the Triffids among your worst? You need to see a few more Canadian horror films to replace it with.
lol @ the title Goremet--Zombie Chef From Hell

I've only heard of a couple, mostly through scrolling through On Demand tv. I enjoyed the original Funny Games. What's so bad about the American remake?

I have not seen the original so Im not familiar with it but the one I seen just got me angry at the remote scene. I wanted to shut the film off right there. I found the whole film stupid and boring. |

It is more or less the same exact movie, though I like the villains more in the remake. Naomi Watts and the original actress are equally as good and Tim Roth is worse than the original actor. Michael Haneke directs both and it is an interesting experiment. I think he wanted U.S. audiences to watch his movie, so he made an English language version. He is the opposite of a director who would make a remake just for money. A few other foreign directors have also remade their own movies for U.S. audiences and they are not good. The Vanishing and Bangkok Dangerous come to mind. Funny Games (ironically I saw the U.S. version first and that is the movie that led me to become a fan of Michael Haneke) Funny Games is self aware and in some respect a very dark comedy and is a clever commentary on violence as entertainment. This is why Funny Games is effective, but The Strangers (2008) is depressing garbage. Normally Michael Haneke's movies have just one scene is violence so disturbing in their realism that they will haunt you for days. The one act of violence is meant to highlight the effect of violence in society. He is a master of his craft and I suggest everybody seek out his movies. Not all of them are entirely successful at what they want to achieve, but they are undeniably powerful and thought-provoking films imo. Original - 8/10 Remake - 7.5/10 |

I respect your opinion but I disagree. I saw the original but I knew it was going to be a screwy film going into it. The original has the same scene but it didn't bother me because of that. |

It is the ending that makes it a terrible movie. To pull off an ending as cynical as The Strangers, you have to be very careful or it can misfire to the point where it pulls down everything that came before it. |

It is unoriginal trying to pretend it is original and it isn't even good at being what it is. The movie is a rip-off of Signs for one thing and takes it's ridiculous story too seriously. The part where the Dad is killed is unintentionally funny and the monsters look silly. The movie is basically the same scene repeated for 2 hours. |
