There is a film on tonight on BBC1 at midnight, called "The Wraith". It is Ed Wood bad - which means that on another level of course, it is really enjoyable.
The campest villain ever (he is not supposed to be camp at all), appalling acting, dreadful editing, and reshot scenes with different actors sporting different haircuts...it has it all...
Enjoy.
Unless of course, you have better things to do at midnight on a Saturday.

Worst film? I'd vote for either - 'The Curious Case of the campus Corpse' or 'Basket Case' Both sucked beyond even being amusingly bad. 'My Brothers, My Sisters, My Blood...' | ||

Basket Case- That film rocks "A tiskit a taskit whats in the basket?" Very much B-movie but still fun. "I'm not jealous- just bitter and twisted | ||

....the wicker man i have always thought utterly silly, but the one i feel most merits worst film is; The Giant Spider Invasion, a B movie classic; it was the b movie to CarQuake; simialrly cheesey. The Giant Spider Invasion, love it at your peril!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bksvon-hSDM

The broadcasting of this maligned, largely forgotten sci-fi classic is superb news. It will give me a long overdue opportunity to enjoy again a film I last watched in, I think, 1987, on video, in my aunt's house, while eating a full box of Mr Kipling's Cherry Bakewells. The film had a profound and lasting effect on me, even though I can only remember three things about it. One was the cover of the video, The Wraith looked cool. Two, Emilo Estavez, or his brother, or, possibly, somebody else, played the male lead. Three, there was a scene were you get to see under the Wraith's cars bonnet and the engine is all weird and pulsing. I'm willing to bet that the film has improved imeasurable with age. From memory, 9/10, only let down by the lack of gratuitous female nudity, something that was very important to me as a teenage film fan.

Cheers for the heads up - this film, I feel, needs to be seen. For my own part, the film that caused me the most anguish in my life, as I was forced to watch it with [people who are no longer] friends was What About Bob? with Bill Murray. I would rather eat my own eyebrows than go through that ever again. The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation - Pierre Trudeau | ||

You are in for a rare, rare treat. Get some popcorn in and put your feet up. Charlie Sheen, btw, not Emilio... The ending is a true masterpeice of film making. The easy part of life is playing by the rules. The fucking hard bit is working out what the rules are. | ||

'The Happening' with Mark Wahlberg was pretty dire. It was picked as the inaugural movie of the Twitter Bad Movie Club. Lots of disconnected bits of plot lines that never met at the end or made any sense. | ||

The 1979 version of The Tin Drum has got to be the worst movie ever made ... |
