It's a cinematic masterpiece and I can't be convinced otherwise
You can't be convinced because you're already correct
The film is about a tire that comes to life and kills people with psychokinetic powers.
Amazing.
“Okay. We’re done. You can go home now…”

A friend with weed is a friend indeed but a friend with gold is better I'm told.

Birdemic and Velocipastor.
Did anyone mention "Troll 2", famously bad, notable because in spite of the title it has no trolls in it?
2.9 on IMDB!
Chopping Mall is terrible fun.
I’d say marathoning Friday The 13th movies is worth a go. For what it’s worth, the fourth and sixth movie are legitimately good, but the rest teeter somewhere between entertaining b-movie and pure trash.
Thankskilling. A turkey goes on a murdering spree. Nuff said. "goggle gobble motherfucker"
You can find it for free everywhere.
Dead Alive, one of Peter Jackson's (yes, THAT Peter Jackson) first films.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103873/
More blood than any other movie I've ever seen, and absolutely hilarious...intentionally. A must-see.
Rubber!
This movie about a tire blew its audiences heads off!
A definitive must watch!!

Terrorvision
Sssssss (note: not Ssssss, fuck that cheap knockoff)
Lawnmower Man (read the book first, then watch the movie, then go WTF did I just watch)
Nothing but Trouble (although this is more of a comedy. It is very clearly poking fun at Centralia and Pennsylvania)
Look Who's Talking Now

Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. It brings me back. I can smell the independent movie rental place, the one with the low ceilings and the wall of NES games. Simpler times.
Lawnmower Man (read the book first, then watch the movie, then go WTF did I just watch)
I'm not sure that one gets back around to being good. Nailed the WTF part though. As a corollary, you can do the same with The Mangler. I saw the movie first, thought it was unremarkable. Then I saw it in one of the King short story compilations and was curious to see what they changed. It's even shorter than Lawnmower Man, like two pages. And they made it into a whole damn movie.
Look Who's Talking Now
...wait what
…wait what
Haha whoops, my bad. I always get that confused with Eraserhead.
Eraserhead
... wait what

Each and every Final Destination movie.
Everyone dies stupidly and horribly, just sit back and wait.
Orgy of the Dead starts off like it's going to be your standard weird bad Ed Wood horror movie. We get to meet Criswell, who you might recognize as inspiration for a character in Fright Night among others. There's also an Elvira type character before Elvira did it better. But then suddenly it's just a topless woman go-go dancing in a fake graveyard. The whole thing suddenly feels like an softcore porn parody of a Gilligan's Island episode. The scene ends, and you might think "Gee, maybe they'll move on to a different location or move the plot along somehow?" Nope, you get a short narration scene and then the next woman comes out with a slightly different costume and dance, still topless though. That scene ends and you think "Well they can't possibly do that again, so maybe now the 'plot' will move along." Nope! More narration, and another topless dancing woman. By the third girl I was bored. But it was funny again with the fourth. With the fifth woman, I gritted my teeth and thought, "When will this end?" But, by the seventh dancing topless woman it was hilarious. Each one of these dancing girls was almost identical, just slightly different slutty costumes and music. At some point they introduce a Zombie and a Wolf man character to leer at the women along with jerk boyfriend and scared girl tied to a post. After it was clear that the ninth topless dancing girl was the last, I felt immense relief and raised a glass to that mad genius Criswell. Those 92 minutes felt like days. This is not a movie to watch sober and alone during the day.
Willy's Wonderland VelociPastor Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (though this one is actually good)
Dude Bro Party Massacre III and Velocipastor should satiate hunger for B movies.
FYI, there's no Dude Bro Party Massacre 1 or 2; just 3.
- Revamped - a very bad vampire movie written by, directed by, and starring the same man
- Death Bed: The Bed That Eats - a horrible 70s horror movie with a very literal title
- From Dusk till Dawn
I'm also including some movies that are horror comedies that are actually good and fun on purpose in case those strike the same chord with you. Some aren't strictly comedic, but I think they're all fun.
- Cabin in the Woods
- Barbarian
- Get Out
- Housebound
- Slither
- Tucker & Dale vs. Evil
- most of the Evil Dead movies
- You're Next
- Pearl
- The Guest
- Shaun of the Dead / Hot Fuzz
- What We Do in the Shadows
Slither
Now that's one I haven't heard in a long while. When they open up that barn door and find the one woman...oh boy.
Boar (2017). It’s so bad, it’s good.
Bubba Ho-Tep. You'll either think it's terrible or the best movie ever.
Brain Dead (might be Dead Alive or something in your locale).
I kick arse for the lord!
Terrible? This movie is hilarious and is also Peter Jackson!
Hope you like gore tho.
Freddy vs Jason was billed as a horror film but it's really funny, imo. I don't like horror. They leaned into the cheesey bits.
I actually watched this one several years after it was released, but I think it ticks all the check marks you want.
The Gate (1987)
Birdemic
Birdemic 2
Birdemic 3
Oh and Ice Cream Man, starring Clint Howard.
Any Toxic Avenger movie
Zombie 4: After Death starring Jeff Stryker https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094620/
The Covenant (2006)
David DeCoteau 1313 series, The Brotherhood series, Voodoo Academy series.
I would recommend the Ginger Snaps movies. I caught them on the SyFy channel a while back, and they're hilariously bad.
Death Spa!!! It's one of my favs of all time and I never see anyone talk about it. It's like actually good. Like, it's simultaneously so-bad-it's-good, but also just good on its own. Let me know if you check it out, I'd love to hear what you think!
