My 10 Least Favorite Horror Movies

This is something I've been wanting to do, and thinking about for a good long while. What are the horror movies I truly hate the most of the hundreds I have seen in the almost 31 years I have been alive. For the time being, this is what I came up with. 

Dishonorable Mentions:

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010): Some interesting ideas, but the movie never feels like committing to them. I hate the fact this movie also takes what was subtext in the original and just makes it text. I also feel like Katie Cassidy's character behaves more like Nancy than the actual Nancy in this movie. 

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation: Yes, it's a terrible movie, but it's mostly off the list because it's insane. 

Scream 7: The initial review I wrote leaned positive. But, I've let it sit with me the last couple of months, and I've even given it a rewatch now that it's out on digital. I'm probably going to re-review at some point because that initial review was way too kind. It's a movie where the more I let it sit with me, the worse it gets. 

The Haunting of Sharon Tate: If this were a top 15 list, I would consider this number 11. This movie is just tasteless. It uses the very real murder of Sharon Tate to say she had psychic visions of her own murder, and uses it to springboard into a schlocky slasher.

#10: The Human Centipede: Ok. So, I know this is probably the movie that is the most divisive. I saw it once when I was in high school. Afterwards, I pretty much felt as though that was the only Human Centipede experience I needed in my life. I never connected with the story or the characters. The acting was legitimately bad. This really wasn't my thing. 

#9: Halloween: Resurrection: This is a movie that probably wouldn't be on this list if it wasn't for the fact that it negates the ending of the previous (and much better) movie. It also doesn't help that for as much as I despise the opening scene, the movie that follows is still pretty bad. But, back to that opening scene, that is quite possibly the most I have ever seen Jamie Lee Curtis phone it in in a movie (and I've seen Borderlands). 

#8: Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey: Yeah. You knew this was coming. I am not a fan of the trend of taking beloved children's characters and turning them into slasher killers. It all feels so cynical. But, this movie's greatest offense is that it takes itself way too seriously. 

#7: Jaws: The Revenge: You can also call this the movie that was so bad, it killed the Jaws franchise. Much like Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, I feel like this is a movie that takes itself too seriously. This is all surrounding a plot involving the mother from the first two movies having a psychic like to the shark and the shark following the family to the Bahamas. So, when the plot is this ridiculous, why is the final result so boring?

#6: Hellraiser: Revelations: It takes a lot to sink to a new low for a franchise that was already fairly stale with Seven knock-offs that just seemed to scribble in Pinhead's name to a couple pages in the script. But, at the very least, most of those movies still had Doug Bradley. This one doesn't get that distinction. They replaced him with an actor who doesn't even seem to have a quarter of his screen presence. It's a movie that exists purely for the reasoning of The Weinsteins wanting to hold on to the rights of the Hellraiser franchise. 

#5: Leprechaun: Origins: It's been roughly twelve years since this movie came out, and I still don't know why they called it a Leprechaun movie. A lot of the Warwick Davis may not have been good, but at least they had personality. At least Warwick Davis was having fun. The thing in this movie doesn't act like a leprechaun. It's just a generic monster that growls.

#4: Jeepers Creepers: Reborn: Within ten minutes, this movie pisses on the legacy of the first two movies. Even if you take away director Victor Salva's history, those two movies are still fairly well crafted (especially the first one). Now, I could potentially forgive it if the movie itself was good. But, it isn't. I hate the characters. I hate the fact there isn't a single shot of this movie that doesn't look like it was filmed on a green screen. Instead of being a rebirth, this just seemed to be the movie that took the franchise off life support, potentially for good. 

#3: BloodRayne: How awful this movie is is almost hard to put into a small blurb. Maybe I can just say it's a vampire movie based off of a video game and was directed by Uwe Boll, and leave it at that. It may actually be a movie that requires a full review. 

#2: The Mouse Trap: We return to the world of cynical cash grabs because children's characters are in the public domain. Yes, I do think this movie is that much worse than Blood and Honey. At least that movie had some decent enough kills. This movie didn't even have that going for it. You want to know how cynical and rushed this shit was. A trailer and a poster were released the same day Steamboat Willie entered the public domain. At least the filmmakers of Blood and Honey waited a little while. 

#1: I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer: I still remember sitting in my dorm room watching this because I found the dvd collection of (at the time) all three movies for ten bucks. I had seen the first two, and liked those well enough. I was floored with how bad this movie was. Not a single thing about it worked for me.
