Shitty movie help
  • Mutant+EnemyMutant Enemy December 2008

    My friend is throwing a Shitty movie night with an element theme.
    We have:
    EARTH: Tremors I
    WATER: Shark Attack 3: Megalodon
    AIR: Pterodactyl

    but not sure what to do for Fire and just for fun a Heart. Any ideas?

  • DramDram December 2008

    Since when is Tremors shitty? I love that movie!

    Heart: Machine Girl. There is a lot of romance in that movie

  • EliEli December 2008

    um...Deep Blue Sea or Jaws 3-D. if you can round up the old school 3D glasses you can enjoy Jaw in shitty 3D. Also Tremors shouldn't be considered a shitty movie as it is a classic. I should suggest Yeti instead of Tremors. Yeti is a Sci-Fi Original so you should find it on DVD i'm sure you can download it somewhere.

    Ok, well not really shitty movies but we're trying to go for cheesy monster movies.

    Oh Sci-Fi original so you know it's bad. I'll keep an eye out for it.

    I'm not sure how low you want to go, but there is a REALLY bad Troma film called Poultrygeist.

  • Greg2point0Greg2point0 January 2009

    Guess I could have just said "there is a Troma film", "really bad" is just a redundant adjective when talking about Troma.

    Haha, I was at Blockbuster and I saw that on the shelf. I'll have to check it out sometime with some friends.

  • joeljoel January 2009

    I dont consider Troma films as "bad movie night" fodder because they arent trying to be good. They KNOW how bad they are and they flaunt it. The real shitty movie experience is about delighting in a film that has no idea how bad it is.

    Well for Fire we decided on watching Fire Serpent, starring Buffy's Nicholas Brendon aka Xander. The movie looks fantastic in the worst kind of ways, I can't wait to drop numerous Buffy references while watching it.

    If you want to add to the "Buffy Alum" theme, Brendon also starred in a movie called "Survival Pinata Island" with Jamie Pressley, and you can catch Charisma Carpenter in "Voodoo Moon". Both movies are delightfully bad! Another "so bad its good" movie is the Lost Boys Sequel. Its godawful and fun!

  • AaronAaron February 2009

    I found a new one, Eaten Alive. It's a Tobe Hooper movie from the late 70s. It's like a shitty remake of Psycho minus the mother cross dressing but adding a man & dog eating crocodile. There's also scythe killings and plenty of random boobage for no good reason. IFC Friday nights have been giving me a lot of fodder for shitty movie nights.

  • AaronAaron March 2009

    Punisher: War Zone. It is extremely terrible but watchable. They gave up trying to make a serious Punisher movie early on and just go batshit crazy for 100 minutes.

    Also it has Whedon alum Julie Benz. She is absolutely terrible in it. Her accent had me in fits of laughter.

  • John+DarcJohn Darc June 2009

    So right now, the plan is for me and my friends to do a screening of Undefeatable, starring Cynthia Rothrock. I've got an AVI of it, and we're trying to figure out a way to get it on a tv. My laptop has SVideo, but I don't have good speakers and my laptop would probably chug with an extra monitor.

    Is there some way we could put the movie on a CD or DVD and run it through a DVD player? I really need to see some rape scenes intercut with bacon cooking.

  • DramDram June 2009

    I think windows will let you just burn an AVI onto a DVD with the stock software, but I'm not sure.



    Similarly, I picked up a gem of a shitty Kung Fu movie (there are two different titles on the case, and a third in the actual movie) yesterday, and am considering streaming it for some FBs on Ustream.
    Edit: Ustream is crap and I don't have a mac, and thusly no camtwist. Checking out a service called Livestream, which looks like the same thing but less utter shit.

    If you have a networked 360, that's the easiest way to go. Otherwise, go with Windows Movie Maker, like Dram said.

    Yes, it's a torrent site, but (1) it's private and (2) the movies on there are so bad the MPAA probably wants to forget they exist.
    They're working on getting the IMDB bottom 100, to give you an idea of the quality of movies they have on there.
    A warning, though: you need to have a decent ratio to avoid banning, and it's a bit harder to get a high ratio on it than public trackers. Not that I would know anything about that...

    Edit: removed the link to be on the safe side

  • YtoabnYtoabn June 2009

    Perhaps this is me being too presumptions, but I don't think Joel wants a torrent site of any kind advertised here just to be safe.

  • I agree with Ytoabn, there's no reason to bring undesired attention to the site. Settle it in private, Folks :P.

    A shitty movie on Hulu?

    starting it, probably won't finish it, but look at the comments! Only about one in fifteen commenters gets it, the rest have no idea what's just happened to their souls.

    I mentioned this on twitter a few days ago, thought I'd post it here too. How would everyone feel about re-starting the Shitty Movie mailing list? I know Undefeatable is being held hostage by a former roommate (or hijacked by a rogue postal worker), but now that we're more organized I think it would work better. Anyone else up for it? Or does someone have a movie to share?

  • John+DarcJohn Darc August 2009

    Now with those Xbox netflix viewing parties, we don't even have to have a physical piece of media anymore.

  • EliEli January 2010

    good grief I have been away for a good while. well there has been a lot of things going on in my life. I have started a blog for shitty movies. you can find it at You Are Tearing Me Apart named after the great line from the movie The Room

    feel free to swing by. i hope to provide some shitty movies for everyone to enjoy!!

    happy new year guys and i'll try to swing by the forums more often but i expect a busy year.

  • Netflix on the 360 has an entire section of instant views called Campy horror, its chock full of some classic badness.

  • KristiKristi January 2010

    We really should organize a Netflix shitty movie viewing party.

  • BillBill January 2010

    Eli, you need to send me an email or PM with your address so I can send back Undefeatable.

    I think I am. As far as I know, anyway.

  • SeanSean January 2010

    Coincidentally I will be hosting a Shitty Movie Night of my own on Saturday! The double feature will start will the Rifftrax version of "Dragon Wars: D-War" as a warmup to our featured presentation...."Black Devil Doll"! That reminds me, I need to make a liquor store run.

  • coveredwagonkidcoveredwagonkid January 2010

    well i dont want to conflict with @sean's movie night, but we should really do this sometime...

    With the right crowd, it's an insane amount of fun. I'll update this post tomorrow with a bit more detail for you though.

    agreed...we had a blast watching this even with a bit of a mixed crowd

  • AaronAaron February 2010

    I had mentioned this one in a question on the podcast long ago but thought I would mention again City Dragon. I showed it to a group of friends about a month ago and we still quote it frequently. It's the epitome of what a shitty movie should be as far as I'm concerned. I've yet to see anything come close to how terrible it is.

  • SeanSean February 2010

    OK, so...Black Devil Doll. We had a group of seven fairly like-minded (read: sick in the head) people, and we all enjoyed the hell out of it! Full disclosure: we did watch the RiffTrax version of Dragon Wars before it, so we were already warmed up a bit and ready for whatever the movie could throw at us.

    Our main question going into Black Devil Doll was whether or not it was aware of how ridiculous it was. JonnyAce commented that he has been in a number of student films that were terrible, but were treated seriously, making them just sad. BDD had no such pride. There were several references to other releases by Rotton Cotton, as well as the company itself. There was even a quick promo directly to the camera from one of the soon-to-be victims while she was (very briefly) wearing a Rotton Cotton shirt.

    The movie was appropriately short, with a running time in the 80 minute range. This kept the frequent over-the-top insults, graphic to the point of being cartoonish violence, and sight gags from getting repeated or having too much time between horrified laughs. With a paper-thin plot of "Girl uses ouija board, recently executed black militant is summoned into PeeWee Herman doll, girl falls in love with doll, doll kills and THEN rapes girl's inexplicably unclothed friends", it needs to be a fast-moving film to keep your attention focused on the high shock-value and not the actual script.

    Having said that, the script is by far the highlight of Black Devil Doll. Every line is more outrageous and hysterially cringe-worthy than the last. The fact that there is a SOUNDBOARD for this movie says it all. I'm curious about how much of the actual doll's dialogue was scripted, and how much was ad-lib. In any case though, it was able to very successfully ride that fine line between campy fun and just plain bad.

    The bottom line, in my opinion, is that Black Devil Doll is a great movie for parties where adult beverages and people with a wild sense of humor are both in abundance.
