The Backwoods Movie Quest.

I recently have undertaken a quest.
A quest to find the worst movie of all time, and watch it.

Now, Ive been a movie fan all my life, and a BAD movie fan for a decade or so. Ive seen Manos, and Plan 9, most of the classically bad films, like the ones that were played on MST3K.
However, there are so many more horrible films to be watched, and enjoyed.

For all I know, I may have already seen it, but I must search far and wide to achieve a true cheesy nirvana.

This is where you can help.

Recommend some very bad films for me to watch.
I dont mean "Titanic" bad..I mean low-budget, cheesy monster, plastic mask wearing crapfest.

Horror movies are always good for cheese, becuase so many of the worst films available were shitty B horror flicks from the 60's and 70's.

Whatta ya got for me?

As bad as everything Uwe has done.....his crap isnt the worst, or the kind of thing Im looking for.
At least Uwe had more than ten dollars for special effects.

That's the one. Shame on Brando for being in it.


When they mentioned all his acting credentials when he died, I don't think they mentioned this one....the only 'highlight' I can think of was when Brando got set upon by those munchkins or whatever they were.

As for Kilmer....I expected nothing....his performance in the other wise good film Heat was bloody dismal, and another film in the bad to absolute godawful bollocks category that should be mentioned also 'stars' him, The Saint.

Chicken Park (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167825/) is very bad.

It's supposed to be a parody on Jurassic Park but it's not funny, it's just... bad.

Here's a comment from Imdb:

The worst movie ever made, BAR NONE. It even makes 2001 A Space Travesty look good. Words cant describe how bad this movie is! I have considered buying it from the video store i work in, just so i can do a sacrificial burning of it!!!!!!!

Thats the thing about Val.
One minute he'll do a film like "The Saint", mich was meh, and then a bad one, like "Moreau", and then a really good one, like Tombstone.

You just never know.

Salton Sea was pretty good.
Thats the last good Kilmer movie I can remember.

Try this one for all-time cheesy sci-fi flick:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046248/
ROBOT MONSTER.

A robot monster comes to earth to destroy us all. He is really scary.
That is if a man in a gorilla suit wearing a diving helmet scares you.
Also his human-killing machine consists of a pair of TV rabbit ears and a machine listed in the credits as 'The billion bubble making machine'. It really did blow bubbles.

Has such lines as:
"I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot!"
and
"I'm bossy? You're so bossy you oughta be milked before you come home at night."
as well as
"I will re-calculate. Your deaths will be indescribable."

It also has several great goofs, least of all a hand holding the rocket ship flying to earth can be seen at the start of the movie.

Since you are Backwoods... why not try "Backwoods (1987)". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0130487/

I saw it on American Movie Classics, despite it not being American or a classic. Now that they have a british series on there so that it's not American, a movie or a classic the title is more meaningless than MTVs...

Anyway, this movie was supposed to be Frankenstien vs. Godzilla, but even Toho has standards.

You get to see coin operated riding ponies that are usually in front of supermarkets in thier natural enviroment. I'm not going to explain that, you'll just have to see it.

Well here's one I found on IMDB. Haven't seen it, but the title alones surely rates it as one of the worst ever made:
The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!?
Plot: Jerry falls in love with a stripper he meets at a carnival. Little does he know that she is the sister of a gypsy fortune teller whose predictions he had scoffed at earlier. The gypsy turns him into a zombie and he goes on a killing spree.

If anyone has seen, please tell me if it was as bad as it appears.

"Nilbog.....thats goblin spelt backwards!" (not so much the line, but the way the kid says it cracked me up :D)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105643/ <-- Troll 2.
But an evening with Troll 2 wouldn't be complete without completing the epic trilogy with Troll 3 AKA Contamination .7 (I think they changed the title right before release).
It also didn't feature any trolls, nor did it have the goblins from 2. Instead, the writers saw this progression:
I. A lone troll in the city
II. A bunch of goblins in a small town
And made the next logical step, being . . .
III. Evil plants in Sticksville.
Makes sense to me.

1. Robot Monster.

2. The curious Dr. Humpp.
(The two p's makes it curious, ya see.)

3. "Jesse James meets Frankenstiens daughter."
Golden Turkey winner.

4. Burial of Rats, starring Adrienne Barbeau.

5. "Bride of the Monster"
Starring Bela Lugosi, in his final starring role.
Directed by Ed Wood.

Sounds painful, dont it?

Teenage Cat Girls In Heat would be up there. A high percentage of the movies staring Kari Wuher (Beastmaster II excluded, she got to keep the weasels). Moderately attractive, flat out hot once upon a time, and she'll often be naked for extended periods, but the acting is so bad you can't make yourself watch. That's just an achivement.

Then there's movies that are just on my secretly awesome shelf.
Gettin' Lucky. Has a scene of what it supposed to be an inadvertently shrunken guy inadvertantly ummm stimulating a young girl so criptic the USA Network censors never caught on to what the scene was about and I must have been on my third time seeing the movie before I figured it out.

Tammy and The T-Rex. This one is double awesome. A young Paul Walker is murdered because of his special relationship with a young Denise Richards (Tammy). How you ask? The local assholes kidnapp him, rough him up, then drop him off in a public park, where he's promptly eaten by a lion. Naturally a mad scientist takes his brain and puts it in an animatronic T-rex so he can get revenge and win back the girl of his dreams. Who ultimately does a strip tease while pouring a can of beer over his brain, which she decides to keep in a jar in her room.

American Ninja: Bloodhunt. I don't care what anyone says, this is a cinematic achivement.

Ator: The Fighting Eagle. Just a magical experience. Great date movie. You have to see it. If someone tells you about it you won't believe it.

They showed it at a cinema years ago, and even though I went along stoned I can still remember just how dreadful it was. It was a double-feature, followed by a Russ Meyer movie - and it wasn't even one of Russ' 'good' ones either.

Ive seen both of these, and yes, they are spectacularly bad.
However, Plan 9, is actually one of Wood's best films, if you can believe that.
It actually has a plot.

That makes it better than his "Orgy of the Dead", by default.

5. "Bride of the Monster"
Starring Bela Lugosi, in his final starring role.
Directed by Ed Wood.

That's the one where he died 1/2 way thru filming, so Wood used Bela's dentist as a stand-in for Bela. Which almost worked, if you ignored the fact that his dentist was about 30yrs younger and 1/2 foot taller than Bela.

Ever seen 'Ed Wood', a film by Tim Burton? Absolute must-see if you like bad movies. It's hilarious - mainly focus's on the making of 'Bride of the Monster'. They gave Bela some classic lines in it.

I do indeed watch a few foreign films, particularly cheesy martial arts movies.
the most recent one Ive seen is "Ong Bak", wich is probably Thai for "Viscious kick to the neck."

Also, my favorite zombie films (or many of them) are Italian.

I prefer english movies becuase dialog is important to me, and I relate to english better, usually, unless the dubbing is very good.
However, bad dialog can be entertaining as well.

BS, you seem quite the connoisseur of horror films so I was wondering if you could help track down a film I watched a while ago. I've forgotten the name, but I believe it was directed by Argento, and it had an underwater fight between a zombie and a shark in it.



Also, Doom was fairly bad, a lot worse than a lot of b-movies I have seen. Though probably not the worst. A contender I think (I haven't seen it, but a trailer was on a different crap horror film DVD) would be Ankle Biters (http://imdb.com/title/tt0344843/). It's about midget vampires as far as I can make out.

I sincerly hope you've seen 'Manos': The Hands of Fate.
It is seriously the worst movie I've ever seen. It's stupid, it has a ridicoulous plot, seriously impared actors, and basically everything that can go wrong in a movie production goes wrong. It is kinda funny though.

If you want the "Nnnnnrgh it's so broing and bad kill me now!" kind of movie, then check out Red Zone Cuba(Also known as "Night Train to Mundo Fine") It's so horrible even MST3K can't make it enjoyable.

And this one is a classic:

It is seriously the worst movie I've ever seen. It's stupid, it has a ridicoulous plot, seriously impared actors, and basically everything that can go wrong in a movie production goes wrong. It is kinda funny though.

If you want the "Nnnnnrgh it's so broing and bad kill me now!" kind of movie, then check out Red Zone Cuba(Also known as "Night Train to Mundo Fine") It's so horrible even MST3K can't make it enjoyable.

And this one is a classic:

Yes, I have seen Manos, and by god, its a turd.
I wouldnt say its THE absolute worst, but it cant be far from it.
If I recall correctly, one of the NS Generalites recently recieved permission to make a sequel.

Yah, I have seen it.
Thats the one with Johnny Depp as Ed Wood, and George "The Animal" Steele as Tor Johnson, right?

Im looking forward to it!
That's the one!
great movie.
Some memorable quotes:
Edward D. Wood, Jr.: "I met Bela Lugosi."
Dolores Fuller: "Why, I thought he was dead."
Edward D. Wood, Jr.: "No, he's very much alive. Well, sort of."

Bela Lugosi:"No-one gives a fuck about poor Bela!"

Dolores Fuller:"Well, I see the usual cast of fags, losers, and drug addicts are here" (She could almost be talking about NS'ers)

I have a certain fondness for 'Night of the Lupus' (I think it's called). A 1970's horror movie in which a herd of giant rabbits menace remote ranchers in Texas.

It's not that the special effects were bad, as such, because there weren't really any, other than making the rabbits look six feet tall. It's more that the rabbits were just, well, cute bunnies, and really not that scary, even when chowing down on three inch figurines.

I just watched part of a movie on HBO tonight which fits nicely into this thread:

Snakehead Terror
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371954/
Plot:
A small town, desperate to recover from hard economic times, is under threat when voracious Snakehead fish mutate and survive previous lake chemical poisonings. The fish transform from pests to predators when human growth hormones are dumped into the local lake in the hopes of reviving the local fishing industry. Thriving on the hormones, the Snakehead fish grow to monstrous proportions, devouring everything within reach. Capable of moving and eating on land, they are forced to leave the now barren lake in a desperate search for food - animal, vegetable or human.
The fish were rubber toys the 'actors' had to fight and struggle with.
I didn't know they still made turkeys like this.

But an evening with Troll 2 wouldn't be complete without completing the epic trilogy with Troll 3 AKA Contamination .7 (I think they changed the title right before release).
It also didn't feature any trolls, nor did it have the goblins from 2. Instead, the writers saw this progression:
I. A lone troll in the city
II. A bunch of goblins in a small town
And made the next logical step, being . . .
III. Evil plants in Sticksville.
Makes sense to me.

OK, in the really-shitty-props department:
Gay Niggers from Outer Space
Yes, the title says it all. It is about gay niggers. And they are from outer space to save earth Mankind from the evil forces of womanhood. Wow, but one could consider it funny. (it's in english, but made in Denmark--> does that make things better?)

Absolutely unwatchable would be:
Deep Core
and
O fantasma
That last one (in Portuguese) is the reason why I will never see a Portuguese film, ever again. Damn, it's bad...

Finally, some more arguable pieces of shit:
Big Fish (that movie just completely sucks)
La Vita è Bella (Italian shit from the 1940's)
The Brotherhood III: Young Demons (repeating the exact same storyline again as in I and II, the special effects department decided to take a day off, I guess. Because the special effects are really, really shit)

The Quest Begins!

Tonight, I recieved, and watched "Robot Monster", in my newly found quest to find and watch the worst movie I can find.

This was close.

To say that this is a "bad film" wouldnt be giving it as much credit as it tuly deserves.
This is a film of epic-ly suck porportions., and shouldnt be given such credit as to siimply be reffered to as a "bad movie"

First, we have the two precocious children frollicking about, and they stumble onto a archealogical dig, being done by some family members (I think).
After a discussion about wether space men exist, we suddenly realize, after some bright flashes and old stock footage of dinosuar films, that our story takes place "in the future".

"Ro-Man", our villian who looks like a penis strapped on a gorilla suit, and then a space helmet with television antennea attached, is sent to Earth to prepare it for an invasion of more space men in gorilla suits.
He manages to wipe out the entire human race....except for 8 people (two of wich we never get to see.)

Ro-Man apparently has to contact his homeworld constantly, via a "telescreen", in some sort of way that reminds me of Mork and Mindy, when Mork would contact Orson.

Or maybe, Snow White, when the Queen consults her mirror.
"Mirror Mirror on the wall, wich film is crappiest of all?"
At any rate, thats the majority of what our villian does, aside from looking stupid, and giving some very bad dialog.
He does, however, strangle a little girl off camera, so thats something.

The ending however, was equally as cheesy as the rest of the film, and was ended with the realization that "it was all a bad dream".

"I was in a sucky movie...and you were there...and you, and so were you!"

This is truly a turd that should only be viewed by B film enthusiasts, and not by anyone seeking to see even a decent movie.

I dont have a rating scale yet, but out of a scale of ten, 1 being a good movie, and 10 being the worst film youve ever seen, I asked two good friends who volunteered to watch to rate it as well.
Incidently, both people have Nationstates of thier own.
The scores where:

From 1 to 10.

Judge #1 :10.

Judge #2 : 9.75

Myself : 8

Rest assured these judges are equally as knowledgable of bad movies as I.

Im actually surprised you didnt like that.

I thought Bill Murrays deadpan humor was pretty good, and Willem Defoe's character was way funny.
It was "Life of Brian" or anything, but it certainly wasnt as horrible as you make it.

I guess thats the beauty of film and music, tatses are entirely subjective.

Sweet crap, that looked awful.

Reminds me of Low Budget Pictures Inc.
They made such fine classics as "Apopylon The Destroyer".
With such appearances from Teenape.

Those guys are big Troma fans, and they have managed to get thier crappy, but delightful films sold at Best Buy.

Im gonna add "Doomed to Consume" to the list.
If its meant to be tongue-in-cheek, thats one thing...if its meant as a serious zombie film....I may have a contender for "worst ZOMBIE film", if not "worst film, ever".

Does it have to be horror?

If so: Might I recommend "Survival Island" - which has Nicholas Brendon (Xander from Buffy) and Jaime Pressly, in it.... and is the very best movie, about teenage kids on an island, being hunted and killed by a pinata... that you are likely to see.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0201844/



If it need not be a horror.... seriously, possibly the VERY worst films I've EVER seen is "Envy" - a movie about the horrible after-effects of the Penis Fairy granting a woman the ability to 'grow one' whenever she wants.

The film opens with Stacy (Regan D'Lyn) and Lydia (Charlotte Mangum) drinking in a redneck bar. The bartender (Tony Simmons)then accosts Stacy. Lydia embarrasses the assailant by criticizing his small package and the girls escape. Outside the bar Stacy attempts to quickly relieve herself and encounters the Penis Fairy (Michael Garrett), a magical drag queen who assists Stacy by granting her a wish of growing a penis whenever she wants one. Along with her new body part she also sprouts a full mustache and tattoos. Lydia, who already has masculine tendencies, gets jealous and desires what used to typically be a male organ of her own. Tragedy results through lack of self acceptance.

It looks like somebody has been reading Freud (sort of)

Believe me... it's bad. They 'pretend' to walk, in front of scrolling backgrounds, the makeup 'effects' are terrible, I've seen MUCH better acted school plays, the script is a nightmare, the production values are terrible... I mean, the budget must have been pocket money...

Does it have to be horror?

Thats a question Im pondering right now.
Theres so many movies out there, that if I include all genres, I may never find an end to this path of Gouda, I have chosen.

If I stay within the Horror/suspense thriller genre, it may make this easier.

I gave it an 8 becuase Ive seen worse, but not much worse.

It did have a plot (even though a bad one, wich a cliche ending).
It was also only an hour long, so the torture wasnt impossible to endure.

However, the only "good" thing this film had was the fact that the monster killed a little girl, even if you dont get to actually see him do it.
Remember, this was made in 1953, so killing a child, even off-camera, was fairly racy back then, so I gave them points for going against the grain a little.

That was the ONLY noteworthy effort in this film, the rest was Satan's own laxative.

Another Backwoodssquatches Bad Move Review.

This time we review two horrible movies.
The first, is a drive-in Boobie Movie "thriller" from 1967, entitled "The Curious Dr. Humpp".

"The Curious Dr. Humpp" is a classic Sexploitation movie from the late 60's that were usually found in saturday matinees, and late nigth drive-in theatres.
These films are often funny becuase back then, you could show full frontal female nudity, but couldnt show any penetration during sex scenes, or male genitalia, or even actual female genitalia, just some wild 60's bush.
So, what you get...is a whole lot of heavy petting, and dry-humping.
Couple that, with an awful monster movie plot..and youve got some classic Cheese.

We get right to the lesbian heavy-petting scene ten seconds out of the credits, I was reminded of the Monty Python sketch where we hear the classic line "Whats wrong with a KISS, boy? Must we go stampeding to the clitoris?"

Between the dry humping and fondling, we see a man dressed in a ridiculous mask kidnapping people with chloroform...

I named him.."Plot".

Plot doesnt show up much, and accomplishes very little.

Later, after yet more humping, we arrive at the Castle of Dr. Humpp, where we learn he is keeping a cast of slaves, who are being used in kinky experiments.

Still later, we learn that Dr Humpp is disfigured somewhat, and is distilling some sort of elixir from his victims orgasms, to cure his ailment.

Now, in case you missed that...

Dr. Humpp is using essences distilled from peoples orgasms...he makes a potion out of the "Love Mung", (my words not thiers) that has regenerative powers.
I only wish I were kidding.

...no sleeping in the wet spot...not with Dr. Humpp around. He'll vaccuum that right up, and drink it for his health!

Even later still, we learn that, with the help of a brain, being kept in a jar, Dr. Humpp has discovered how to cure all of mankinds ailments WITH SEX!!

Well, one of his assistants decides to have a moral or two, and helps our male lead escape.
He does, and brings the police...the very SEXY police!

We occassionally see glimpses of people pretending to have kinky sex, and all of wich, are poorly done.
Some of these girls actually say thier lines in flat monotones.:

"Oh.....my cowboy."
"Oh yah."
"Baby."

Whee.

They, however, cannot bring enough action to the movie, and we are still left in Boring Town, for about an hour and a half.

The worst part of this film, is the fact its trying very hard to be an art film.
We even have a musical part with "Plot" playing an unstringed koto to one of the resident hotties traipsing about.
They develop some sort of weird relationship...

The sheer absurdity of the plot..(not the dork in the mask) and the "Trying WAY too hard to be "mod" and "hip" factor, make this film very bad and yet amusing, if you like a movie so completely bad, its funny.

Overall, this movie is in no way the worst ever, but dear god, doth it suck.
Verily.

It was far better than "Robot Monster".
BackwoodsSquatches
15-03-2006, 11:29
The second movie to be reviewed, is "The Crawling Eye".

"The Crawling Eye", was an early 50's b-horror thriller, that really didnt stand out for much of any reason.
The first 35 minutes of this film are unbearably boring, but it does get a little better.

A Swiss mountain town is troubled by a mysterious cloud, that is communicating to a pyschic hot girl, and cuts a few peoples heads off.
Naturally, this alarms the town somewhat...

They ask the help of the genius proffessor whos avalanche proof mountain laboratory research facilty, will come in handy later...
The professor has a buddy working for the UN, and fortunatly, hes the handsome strong type (im SURE its strictly plutonic) and he makes a fine leading man.

We discover the cloud is probably an alien, and suddenly reproduces itself into four.
One of them attacks a hut up on the mountain...why we arent sure...and we see that inside the cloud...is BIG SCARY MONTSER WITH A HUGE EYE AND LAME FLAILING TENTACLES!!

Are you scared, yet?

Well, our possibly gay leading man, calls in an airstrike and blasts em to smithereenies!!

and thats pretty much it.

This movie wasnt as horrible as I was anticipating by its cheesy title.
It actually has a pretty good scene where some of the men find the first decapitated corpse, and for its time, the special effects were actually pretty gruesome.
It dragged a bit, and the giant eye monsters were fairly lame, and an over use of stock footage, and miniature models made for added cheese factor.

Overall, it wasnt toopainful to watch, but it could have been way better.
Certainly not the worst ever.
