Usually the movie itself is pretty bad in most cases, but this scene is comedy gold!

Always got a chuckle out of "Halloween 4".
Brady: "God damnit! The door is made of solid steel!"
Rachel: *sobbing* "What does that mean?!"

There's also Halloween 2, when the deputy tells the sheriff that one of the victims is his daughter. His delivery of 'One of them was Annie!' makes a dramatic moment silly. |

They overdid it/did it badly... it did look silly

While cops would be used to informing citizens about their loved ones passing, this was a hard call for the deputy to tell his sheriff, especially since he would have more than likely shared in the grief too. The sheriff's response was a real kick in the guts too, because he had to go home and tell his wife. I couldn't possibly fathom what that must feel like. I liked the intensity and the intentions behind this sequence to make it appear as believable as possible.

I liked the intensity and the intentions behind this sequence to make it appear as believable as possible. Despite just about everything wrong with Zombie's H2, Brad Dourif certainly wasn't one of them and I think he portrayed the grief better over Annie's death, from breaking down after seeing her body to the silent rage, then the cold look of acceptance and depression when he's sitting on his porch. |

I actually really like Zombie's H2 and was pleasantly surprised, because I really dislike his Halloween remake. H2 was more his own film and Dourif is always an asset to films he stars in. Of course in Zombies H2, Brackett was a more fleshed out character and Annie wasn't present except as a dead body in Rosenthal's H2.

A lot of Friday 13th Part 2 - many scenes of a bumbling idiot with a bag on his head

I'm fondly recalling a thread from ye olde IMDB boards about a scene in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter in which a man being killed by Jason screams out "HE'S KILLING ME! HE'S KILLING ME!"
I was always disturbed by this, but some posters pointed out how funny they thought it was. So now I enjoy it on two levels, the horror and the hilarity.

The point is that all of that is meant to be really heavy and dramatic but that the actor did a shitty job with his performance. |

I've seen worse and I never even thought of that scene being unintentionally funny and I have watched H2 many times.

I just find that line reading awkward and poorly handled and always thought there must have been a better take. Agree to disagree. ... also just to make sure (considering some conversation above), we are talking about the first Halloween 2, not the Rob Zombie one, which (again mentioned above) is a terrible in many ways, but has a good actor who sells that Sherrif character and his emotional scene rather well. |

Yes, first H2. What do you find so terrible about Zombie’s H2?

Yes, first H2. What do you find so terrible about Zombie’s H2? Well, we could be here forever, but as much as I respect Zombie seizing the opportunity and new found freedom to make the movie fully his own thing and as weird and off putting as possible, it's just misguided in almost every way. The characterization and dialogue is generally as bad as most of his scripts, and his attempts at making it an avant garde art film are extremely shallow and stupid. He makes awful visual choices in camera and design, nonsensical character choices, and tells a generally all around uninvolving and uninteresting story that betrays itself and his first movie. And it's a real shame because the opening sequence is actually pretty strong. |

The girl being stabbed at the lake in ZODIAC
She and her boyfriend are tied up and he starts stabbing him in the back and she's like
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
and then he switches to her
and there is just something perversely funny about it.
Its not shot in a scary or suspenseful way-it's very matter of fact.
stab stab stab stab
