Worst Movie EVER!!!

OH MY GOD could somebody please tell me how i can get those 83 minutes of my life back... i dont know what to say to be honest, rushed, got into it too soon, no suspense and laughably ridiculous!!
From reading the other comment i think we must have been watchin diffferent films (not counting Revolver, he has a clue) i mean what are all u people on, what a crock of crap!

Why was that priest scaring the livin day lights out of the babysitter?
Why were there so many pan in shots i.e on the police mans boots n trousers just after the visit from the girl?
Why so much attention on the love interest, did he do ANYTHING!?
How come after the cop took an axe in the back he was able to walk freely in no pain to his car. PLUS she had a hook thru her achilles tendon, yet she walked fine to the car.

i dont care anyway, im wiping it from my memory as of now!

A man's life is like a flower; it blossoms, then it dies...

Behind her achilles. I know people who do that for fun.

Also, very good low budget attempt. The film stock and the goofy son of satan supernatural plot gave it a nice retro feel. Very straightforward, simple, and well executed.

Also, it's a standard movie trope that people lose the ability to walk after suffering upper body injuries. They really don't, I swear:)

I generally think you would not be able to walk after an axe to the spine.

well i think you can start with not wasting another priceless minutes of you life on posting this meaningless comment.

I agree i didn't like it. It was very silly. The kid had horns for christs sake. I watched the House of the Devil and that is a lot better, in terms of everything pretty much, especially catching the retro style.

You're definitely right on the push ins to everything. There was so many fake scares it was unbelievable. There was a brilliant one where the music escalates to her opening a cupboard to get a mug out. It was awful.

I swear, every movie has at least 1 Worst Movie Ever thread. What's funny is that many of the threadstarters say that then they disappear and never defend their stance as if the are working for some "Worst Movie Ever" film club.

Anyways I saw this back-to-back today with the new Halloween II and loved this movie a million times more than Halloween. It was creative, made me cringe, and had a good ending. My ideal horror flick no matter what the budget may be.

[–] ursinevulpine 14 years ago

Its true what you said JapanGaijin. There is one for every film in the database pretty much. People just like starting arguments for the sake of it.

I don't agree with you on this being better than Halloween II though. Halloween II wasn't brilliant but it is a lot better than this, imo. That scene in the hospital is better than than the entirity of Babysitter Wanted.

This movie was very good I was intertained and as soon as I saw horns on the kid I was like "Oh *beep* the suspences is good, and the 'feel' of the movie was even better. I give this movie a 7/10

Worst movie ever ? - You couldn't have watched very many movies !

[–] WesternEyes05 14 years ago

I actually thought that House of The Devil was horrendously awful. I loved the stylistic approach of bringing it back to the 80's and the opening scene was just amazing with the music and vibe...but, it all fell flat for me. The ending was truly dissapointing.

[–] Jaythestingray 14 years ago

Yeah I agree. People that say "worst movie ever" obviously need to watch more movies. I think its generally very young posters who could really care less anyway.

"I swear, every movie has at least 1 Worst Movie Ever thread"

THANK YOU. I was just about to let girl_Amy know that her pseudo-insightful thread "shredding" some low-budget horror film is done on every g.o.d.da.mn message board on this site. And usually, it's in all caps. So, thank you for proving that, while you're mocking some DTV horror film, your own originality sucks more than this film ever could.

[–] IllIlllIl 14 years ago

I thought the same thing, somebody starts a "worst movie EVER!!!!" thread on every single movie on this site, and they all say the same thing about wanting the X number of "minutes of my life back"... I've seen hundreds of these it seems... how completely unoriginal.

[–] AarOnHisBox 10 years ago

LOL. That's one of the best responses I've ever seen. It's so true...of many many people on these boards. They're just juvenile.

[–] sweethoneypie 14 years ago

Wasn't too bad, just boring as all *beep*.

Worst Movie EVER!!!

Fock off little child!!

SILENCIO....

[–] ElectricWarlock 12 years ago

Really? You've seen every movie ever made? You must have a lot of free time. Be careful before you call a movie the worst ever, because I'm pretty sure you haven't seen every movie ever made.

Come, fly the teeth of the wind. Share my wings.

I'm glad I wasn't the only person who thought this movie was bad. Judging by the overall score it has here, most people agree, in spite of the comments on this thread from people who, for some unknown reason, liked the movie.

The "twist" was telegraphed; I saw it coming a mile away. No surprise there. Many other typical elements of horror films were just randomly thrown in the film, too, for no real purpose. Why the "mysterious" phone calls? There was no reason for that, especially since we know the priest could talk, since he did so when he attacked the child. His stalking the babysitter on the school campus made no sense, either.

The scene in the shed with Bruce Thomas (the boy's "father") talking to the babysitter was painful to watch. Was that supposed to be humorous? If so, it failed miserably. If not, it was just bad acting. As I watched it, I thought he was doing a poor Bruce Campbell (from the "Evil Dead" films) imitation. Then I learned he actually worked with Campbell on "Army of Darkness", so apparently he was trying to emulate the same style. And utterly failed.

I guess I'm jaded from watching so many horror films for so many years, but there was nothing original, new, or unusual about this one, nothing to make it stand out from all the others. 5 stars out of 10, at best.

[–] ElectricWarlock 10 years ago

I don't think predictability is enough to make a film bad. You've got to realize there are well over 100 years worth of movies in existence so nearly every idea conceivable most likely has many movies about it. I don't think you can expect complete originality from any film anymore, as just about everything that can be done already has been done. I don't mind a few clichés here and there as long as they're used well and I think they were in this movie.

Burn, witch! Burn, witch! Burn! Burn! Burn!

Gurl_amy and Stosher - STFU. Hardly the 'worst movie ever'. Stupid trolls.
