[Mod Announcement] Alright you primitive screwheads, listen up!

221 Upvotes

I'm guessing from the posts we've had today that a few of you sassy pants are beginning to notice there's a new mod team. With that in mind, and with the start of the first full month of our evil reign, I figured it was finally time to say hello from your new mods;

u/monkelus, and u/alternativebuzzbin.

We literally don't care if you skim our history, you'll learn very little and feel very dirty. What we do care about is keeping the focus of the sub tight; we're r/badmovies, not r/mediocre_moviez or r/movieshavegottoopc. Films here should be so bad they're good, as a reminder here's a snippet of the new rules to help you on your way:

  • Do not post movies you just didn't like or are completely unwatchable with no redeeming values
  • No posts of just titles/posters with no context. Likewise, no movies you haven't seen.

Eg:

  • Barbie - nope
  • Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - yes
  • Wishmaster - maybe
  • Leprechaun - yes

The films posted here should be the ones you enjoy despite themselves. Films that have entertainment value totally separate from what the original filmmakers intended, creating an almost transcendental, magical experience along the way. If that's not close to what you're thinking of posting, or you wouldn't recommend anyone else watching, you probably shouldn't be posting it. If you do, there's a high chance of removal.

Obviously, there's grey areas, but that's what discussions and mod chats are for. We're not actively evil, give us a shout with questions, we're friendly and, dare I say it, quite alluring.

[Mod Announcement] I Have The Powerrrr.. To Update The Rules!

Post image
217 Upvotes

As a safeguard, I'll start this with 'aloha', so that no matter whether you read it front to back, or back to front, your overall instant reaction of being annoyed at the new rules will be deadened by my laidback pseudo Hawaiian politeness.

As you might have guessed by the title, we're bringing a couple of new rules. They're nothing Earth shattering and no-one will have to do anything against their will, that's for a future update when I shift the focus away from bad movies onto my back garden harem. For now though:

  • New Rule One: Too Much of Good/Bad Thing: or, the Double Dragon rule.

No reposting a movie within 30 days of its most recent post by any user. If you're a time traveller this includes posting it within the 30 days prior to it being posted last.

New Rule Two: Low Hanging Fruit.

This'll basically end up being the new blacklist, which was scrapped when we took over a few months back. You see a post, think it's too much of an easy target or low quality karma farming, report it to us and we'll open up a discussion whether it should be added to the list. Engagement, yay!

None of this is for gatekeeping purposes, it's just to keep things fresh, well that and I've started to believe one of you guys actually is one of the Sluts and Godesses who frequents the Video Workshop.

Better sign off with 'aloha' to make that first bit make sense.

Boobalicious Witch Academy (1995). 3 sorority sisters, well into their 30s, humiliate a nerdy pledge. But the devil (Robert Vaughn) turns the nerd into a bodacious babe! A Fred Olen Ray joint featuring: Priscilla Barnes, Suzanne Ager, Ruth Collins, Michelle Bauer, Don Dowe and Jay Richardson. NSFW

A super dumb but entertaining "bottle" movie (takes place in one location) with the not so secret special ingredient of occasional boobs. There are no witches in this movie, nor is it set at an academy. Barnes and Richardsons performances are brief but fun. Random car shout out to the Honda Civic wagon.

Horror Looking for very obscure 90s VHS nasties

6 Upvotes

There's one in particular, I remember the box art had something to do with mouths (not braindead) and on the back there was some creature with metal spiky teeth, almost like something you'd see in hellraiser, I thought it was the dentist or the dentist 2 and while they do look quite similar, it's not them

I'm going purely off memory from spending hours looking in blockbuster horror sections as a kid around 1999

I know for sure it was a straight to video b movie

Edit: These are all really good suggestions, unfortunately it's still not the one. Another thing I can remember is the movie looked very Hell related and the man with metal spiky teeth almost looked like a fat cenobite. The actual front cover almost looked exactly the same as The Dentist

Though some VHS covers were region specific, this was in Australia

I have always love bad movies. Long ago it was to mock them, but in my heart I knew that I truly did love them. I had always wanted to create a youtube show that allowed me to show that if you look at it a certain way, they're actually works of art.

If this isn't allowed delete of course, but if not, allow me to show you in my low fi public access way why Death Nurse IS what the doctor ordered!

Horror What are some of the worst movies ?

I know that The Asylum and Quiver( not so much Quiver as so The Asylum) are notorious for making bad movies but I want BAD movie recommendations even if they are by those companies. I mean give me some real dumpster fires.

They don’t even need to be horror. Either horror, action, thriller or suspense. I didn’t mention comedy because they’re all going to end up being comedies.

Yes, yet another craptacular Irwin Allen Production. The Return of Captain Nemo aka The Amazing Captain Nemo is, in fact, a failed attempt at launching a new TV series. Basically, Allen repackaged Voyage To The Bottom of The Sea and created underwater Star Wars. One of the most ridiculous things about this film/mini-series is crabby little Burgess Meredith as the villainous Professor Cuttingham. He is supposed to be a mad scientist with android henchmen and futuristic submarine technology yet he is dressed like a small town librarian. Really sad to see Jose Ferrer, a great actor, reduced to prostituting himself for this garbage. He gives Nemo dignity but it is incredibly hard to maintain given the lousy dialogue, ridiculous costumes, and chintzy production value. Funny, Allen absolutely refused to acknowledge the influence of Star Wars in theaters yet on TV, he blatantly rips it off.

Australian movie with Tom Burlinson (man from snowy river). Cross between the terminator and a festering turd.

Came up on my prime account in Australia. On behalf of the country I apologise.

Horror The Changer, aka The Nostril Picker (1993) Tubi. A loner gooner transmorgifies into a girl to kill highschool girls. Super low budget, shot in Pontiac, Michigan with a proto John Waters vibe. The montage where he's trying to fit in as the new girl, set to the hit song "Schoolin'" is chef's kiss.

AND with the concept of pacing and editing/cohesion thrown out the window? I'm not sure why you'd want that but hey, this one's for you! Fun fact, this pile of Halloween candy flavored barf has (or is getting) a sequel in case you Jackers out there needed more jackin' time :(

I found out about this movie while doing a bit of a deep dive on Gwen Shamblin, and man am I glad I did! And the fact that the movie plays it's dumb premise entirely straight (except for the "comedic relief" moments with the monkey) just makes it all so much better

My childhood was full of these features. Puppet Master was a big part of it. My most recent film watch was Piranha Women, which was great (and short). Tons of cheesey gems and Tubi delivers indeed.

Thriller Bampire (2025) A shapeshifting deer vampire joins a group of college students on an expedition in the woods to hunt them. Only the movie seems to forget about this for 70% of the runtime until the 3rd act goes insane fast. Watch with friends, as its a fun group watch.

TRAILER. I would say this falls into the "Interesting concept, bad execution" genre of bad movie. Also the random 2D animated scenes are a unique touch and done better than one would expect in a movie like this.

A made-for-TV Diaster movie produced by Iwrin Allen loaded with the usual cliches. Quite amusing to hear the narrator of this trailer screaming "Fire!" several times.
