6 horror movies that became classics but were so bad

Stanley Kubrick once said that to appreciate cinema one must also see bad films, the stories that make us appreciate the well-made ones, unlike the masterpieces. Halloween is not only a date to celebrate these stories, but also to remember those horror movies that have become classics, but how bad they were.

the exorcist 2

With all the weight that represented the first, one of the best in all history, ‘The exorcist Two’ it was one of the worst horror movies, who just wanted to capitalize on the success of the former. Released in 1977, directed by John Boorman, again with Linda Blair, but this time, in a story 4 years after the original, where Ringa MacNeil is found, a girl recovering from demonic possession. Available on Apple and Amazon Prime Video.

Blair Witch 2

Another sequel to a horror classic like ‘Blair Witch’, such a bad horror movie who threw away everything that the first part did. Released in 2000, directed by Joe Berlinger and starring Jeffrey Donovan, Stephen Barker and Erica Leerhsen. Just 15 months after the original, the story is set in a universe where the original film was a worldwide phenomenon and some children visit the haunted forest. Available on Amazon Prime Video.

The accident

The case of director M. Night Shyamalan is one of the most heartbreaking, because after indisputable classics such as’ The Sixth Sense ‘or’ Unbreakable ‘, he released in 2008,’The accident’, one of the horror films of the decade. Starring Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel, the story is a thriller where people suddenly commit suicide and had an average rating of 5 out of 10.

killer clowns from space

Now we come to the darkest of the genre, with the perfect definition of a classic horror movie to be bad, 1988’s “Killer Clowns from Outer Space”. Such a bad story, but since it wasn’t taken seriously at any point, it has become an essential element in a non-ironic way. “No one in space can eat ice cream” was a statement of intent not to take it as the new ‘Alien’. Available on Amazon Prime Video.

The human millipede 3

Many defended the first two installments, but “The Human Centipede 3” was one of the worst horror movies, simply for having an extremely gross and free story. With ratings around 2 out of 10, Tom Six’s film, starring Dieter Laser, Laurence R. Harvey and Eric Roberts, is dead never to return.

slender man

Despite being based on one of the most famous and terrifying myths on the Internet, the adaptation of “Slender Man” was a fiasco that failed to exploit the mythology that was created around it. Director Sylvain White, with a cast led by Joey King and Julia Goldani, has built a story about four friends who decide to summon the pale man in suit, but with little special effects and a sleepy ending.
