You can add Armageddon to that list. What, you folks think Ben Affleck (AFLAC!) isn't horror?

So true. Raimi has a combination of passion and skill that not a whole of others do. I'm so used to the knowledgeable people here that I can get blown away by non-horror fans. For example, I started the "What is Found Footage" thread because a local reviewer called The Ring a found footage film, and my mind boggled.

People, in general, don't like change. So if they liked Fuzzy Monkey Bunny, they'll go see #2- #8. Bringing out something fresh is a gamble. Will people like this new idea? Notice how Cabin in the Woods was marketed- safe... normal kids in a cabin flick. Then they flipped it on it's side, but that part was never in the promos.

Agreed Az. I tend to fall pretty far on the Artistic side. Watch a lot of Arthouse short horror and whatnot. I know it's smart business...but if people are paying to see that...you'd have to think they'd pay to see something a little more original. Drag me to hell had a similar Idea...it just went somewhere with it.

I totally agree with PA #1. The 2nd and 3rd films spruced up the action some, but were still largely dull. As long as the movies make money, that's all that matters. There are exceptions, of course, with some directors and producers that want to craft a quality film. But most producers are all about the bottom line. Which is a fine business decision, but can whack the artistic merit into the garbage pail. Besides the MPAA (a whole other story), there is a reason there are theatrical and director's cut of DVDs.

I remember sitting in on a conversation between two grown men who were watching Paranormal activity Together (1st half the first night. then our talk, and they were finishing the movie that following evening). They were both talking about how freaked out they were. About a week later, I reluctantly gave it a shot....when watching a movie on fast-forward to get to the good parts doesn't even work...something's really wrong...why do people still watch this? Annyoing as hell. I bet it's an inside joke between the film producers.

I never really liked any of the Friday the 13th flicks. The first two were decent, but not much more in my eyes.

Saw as well, great first flick, but the sequels stunk.

Leprechaun, for sure. Seen 3 of them, and the space one was an abomination.

I disagree with saying Final Destination is down there with the worst; I wouldn't even consider it bad. I really enjoyed the 1st and 2nd, and the 5th was actually pretty good too. 3rd was ehh, and haven't seen the 4th.

Oy, it has 3 now?! Gotta track down 2 & 3, they have to be spectacularly bad.

Well, YouTube has TT2 at least. I'll save that for when I do something really bad and need to be punished, .
