cause people rated it 1 maybe........?

if you look at the vote history, it should be rated about 3.3 or so not 1.1 70 of 300 people voted 10 so...

Weighted Average Ratings
IMDb publishes weighted vote averages rather than raw data averages. Various filters are applied to the raw data in order to eliminate and reduce attempts at 'vote stuffing' by individuals more interested in changing the current rating of a movie than giving their true opinion of it.

The exact methods we use will not be disclosed. This should ensure that the policy remains effective. The result is a more accurate vote average.

because it actually got enough votes to get into the bottom 100 and then people who've never even heard or seem it before started to give it a one just to see it drop farther

I gave this a two because I reserve one votes for films even more ineptly made than this, such as "Birdemic: Shock and Terror" or "Manos: The Hands of Fate". Birdemic has horrible cinematography and sound. The camera cannot seem to get things properly in frame, and the soundtrack has holes in it you could drive a garbage truck through.
Why is this movie rated the worst horror movie in IMDB? Well, I have seen elementary school Halloween carnivals scarier than this. There are cardboard castle walls and a flying coffin. No effort was made at building tension and the whole thing comes off as comical. See this if you want laughs, not frights.

Sincerely, yahmez the mad.
