There have been loads of films covering both subjects but which do you think was the biggest load of rubbish you've ever watched?
Name and Shame the horror and sci fi films that never lived up the the trailers that were put out in the cinema's leading up to their screening.
To set the ball rolling, here are some that I would nominate to receive the prestigious WORRA LOADA RUBBISH AWARD.
In the horror category....
The Tooth Fairy Doppelgangers 13 Ghosts Blair Witch
In the Sci Fi category....
Star Wars Episode 1. The Phantom Menace Terminator 3 : The Rise of the Machines Species War of the Worlds (the original version)

I have a good one Dave, I just watched The village for the first time last night and I was rather disappointed in it, since the trailors made it out to be a horror film and it wasn't at all,though it was unique, it bombed for me..lol

I was terribly disappointed when I finally saw the horror film classic, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" many years ago...it was horrifying in how God-awful it was.
Another horror film that was disappointing (the first time around) was "The Amityville Horror", and they're releasing a remake of it soon!
Also for me the two sequels to "The Exorcist" were very disappointing. The original was fresh, new and horrifying!
I've found that most (not all) remakes or sequels to a good classic film are terribly disappointing.

Hi Beth yeah I can agree with ya on the sequels thing,I don't understand why some movies need sequels when they don't lol it just ruins them,and all these remakes are not needed!!! however I do think The Amityville Horror looks way better than the original, but I could be wrong..

I'm adding Disney's Black Hole to my list. Keep 'em coming, I'll set a post with all of them on soon and we can vote for which film walks away with the WLR Award, the ultimate honour of being the WORST

Dave, I agree. Star Wars episode one was horrible. it had some good parts here and there, but the only truely good thing it did was create Jar Jar Binks. If it werent for him, millions of people plotting his death would have to get a life.

As for newer movies I would say that "The Haunting" was a dissappointment but what did I expect for a rated PG-13 horror movie (or maybe it was just supposed to be a thriller) and I agree with Lilacsky that "The Village" was a let down. As for older movies I'll have to get back to you all on that one because luckily for me I can't remember the name of them because they were that bad.
