50 Worst Horror Films of All Time According to 24/7 Wall St - Page 2

"Horror is a genre that at its worst embraces camp, cliche, and endless attempts to revive franchises that should have stayed dead. Bad films have their own place in the pantheon of horror movies. For some genre fans, bad acting, confusing plots, and schlocky effects enhance the movie-watching experience. Yet for most people, the prospect of sitting through a bad horror film is scarier than the film itself. It is no accident that so many poorly made horror movies exist. For one, the genre doesn't require large budgets for a movie to be successful. The genre's generally low budget requirements make it an appealing place of entry for inexperienced filmmakers who want to make feature films. Despite the higher risk of creating a bad movie, producers have an incentive to fund low budget horror flicks. Horror is one of the few genres with a dedicated fanbase willing to pay to see low budget, second-rate, and trashy movies." - 247wallst.com
