The month of October usually
has me talking of monsters, slashers,
beasts, undead and the sort. This year I am going in a bit of a different
direction. I'm going to keep a Halloween theme of monsters, aliens, demons,
soulless killers and the sort, but just a different angle.
Instead of focusing on the good scares from this
time of year, I'm going to focus on the bad. See, there are good Hollywood
movies and there are SyFy originals and a myriad of
in between. However, there are certain films that are slated
to be great, and just fail miserably. These are scary bad movies. Films that
invoke nightmares with their awful acting, horrible effects
and frighteningly bad plots. These are what I refer to as
scary, but not intentional, films.
What movies make for a scary, but not intentional,
film? Well the easy targets that jump to the front for me are: Batman and Robin,
the Matrix 2, Die Another Day and Transformers. These are all big name films
that are just awful on various levels. They are so bad that it is scary how they
were made, frightening how they were touted as good and have nightmarish bad
elements.
There is nothing that is primal level scary about
the movies I'll review. It is horrible that I have seen them and frightening
that I admit to seeing them all. I'll stick to a few known Hollywood films that
are ghoulishly awful. The first will be about horrible aliens and their
oppressive reign. Then I'll touch upon some demons and revenge. After that will
be a few tales with murderous intent. I'll end with a typical tale of zombies
and doom.
Now take my hand as we travel together to see into
the first film of non-frightful fright.............
