00′s Retrospect: Dead on Arrival — Ten Horror Duds of the Last Decade
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: this has been a great decade for horror films. Anyone who doesn’t think so simply hasn’t been paying attention. Of course, those successes likely wouldn’t have felt as sweet had there not been about four or five times as many bad ones, and following from that observation I’ve sifted through the cinematic garbage bin to put together this list of the worst. We’re not talking direct-to-DVD bargain-bin burners here; we normally expect those to be bad. We’re talking studio-released, mostly moderate-to-big-budget disasters with a lot of marketing and moolah behind them. These aren’t the hand grenades; these are the atom bombs whose explosions of craptastic-ness were too big to ignore. They’re listed in order of release rather than badness, since there’s just no way to rank these suckers in any meaningful order. They’re all terrible in their own unique and special way.

Even the most hardcore fans of the original cult classic will never discover that human flesh tastes like chicken until they watch this hysterically tasteless funny version!

Wouldn’t You Rather Give Me a Few Million?
My plea to whomever is stupid enough to give Uwe Boll $47 million dollars to make movies – give me a mere million – and I’ll make a better movie than he could make with $100 million. After the disaster that was House of the Dead (review), Variety is reporting that Uwe Boll has raised $47 million through German film fund Boll KG 4 for use in some of his upcoming video game to film adaptations, which are sure to include fantastic pixilated game footage! The financing will be put toward the production of the video game adaptations Bloodrayne, from Majesco, and Gas Powered Games’ Dungeon Siege, among other productions. Uwe Bolls projected next disaster is the adaptation of the game Alone in the Dark, which hits theaters October 10th. The film stars Christian Slater and Tara Reid. (more…) READ MORE
