Three of the worst horror movies ever

[slayrrr666]

All I have to say for Cry_Wolf is Pg-13 slasher with no gore and one death. Nuff' said.

Pretty much all of Stan Winston Studio's Creature Features.

I'm confused. Movies featuring a Stan Winston creature or what?

I liked Pumpkinhead and Killer Condom quite a lot, but I don't know if either fits in that catetory (both star creature effects by Stan Winston...)

The "Creature Features" are 50's-era Sci-Fi/Horror films remade by a company founded by Stan Winston about 4 or 5 years ago.

The special effects for the creatures are generally pretty damn good--but typically, everything else is just crappy. Acting, writing, directing, atmosphere, music, cinematography, characters--all crap. The only one that I've seen that was even halfway decent was "She-Creature" which I'd give a 5 or 6 out of 10.

Earth Vs. The Spider (4/10)
How to Make a Monster (3/10)
I Was a Teenage Caveman (Directed by the guy that did "Bully" and "Kids.") (3/10--review in Review Hell)

All crap. I have an idea that the cheesy 50's originals are probably a lot better. Teenage Caveman featured something like 20-35 minutes of pointlessly watching a bunch of "teenagers" getting drunk or stoned while they sat around naked in a hot tub. Sounds cool, but boring as shit. These movies, for the most part, aren't even unintentionally funny--there's just no redeeming value to them. They're meant to have that "kitsch" value of their campy 50's counterparts, but failed miserably. Instead, they suck.

There are, I think, 6 or 8 Creature Features--all of which had action figures made by Stan Winston's action figure company. Good detail, but they paled in comparison to the far superior McFarlane figures--and came from characters in some profoundly awful movies.

Ah, now I get it. Thanks for the explanation.

Yeah I've seen some of those and they were pretty bad. "The she-creature" was... kinda boring. I've seen much better "killer mermaid" movies [specifically "The grasp of the lorelei" and "Night tide"], but it's admitely a rare subgenre.

The rest were definitely boring.

She-Creature was pretty dull, but at least not nearly as stupid as the others I mentioned.

I'll have to keep an eye out for those ones you mentioned.

I liked Darkness Falls, beat out the Ring and Ring 2 no problems.
