The shoddiest horror I ever rented? Sewage Baby - the story of a back street abortion flushed down the toilet and mutated by toxic waste.

Bottom Shelf Horror
Cabin Fever! AWFUL!! Only film I've walked out of the cinema for.
Pretty much any horror I've ever seen, I don't like horrors, they are poorly cast and tend to have a plot liner thinner than Kate Moss...
Oh wow, he's bleeding... Who cares 
I love zombie and werewolf films!
I'll watch 'em all.
Cabin Fever was flipping awful.
The film 'Penetration Angst' was a real piece of class entertainment. On another thread I mentioned 'Swamp Zombies' and 'Bone Sickness' these have to be seen to be believed.
I am a big Horror fan and I have toured the 'bottom shelf' many, many times.
Cool Thread!
Def.
I love horrors too but can't be arsed with anything post 1990.
Shock 'em Dead is another winner. A nerd sells his soul to the devil to play electric guitar. It has Traci Lords in it. Is it available on DVD? You bet your sweet bippy!
I loooove B movies. My all time favorite is the 1983 film Skullduggery. It is so flipping funny! I saw it when i was 13 or 14 and to this day my friends and I still quote the movie.
Other favorites are:
-Elves (1990). It stars the dude who played Grizly Adams. It's basically about a girl who finds out her grandfather is a Natzi who slept with his daughter making his grandfather her father and for some reason Santa Claus and a raving Elf thing (the puppet can't close its mouth) are trying to kill her.
- Jack Frost (1996 version not the kids movie that came out a few years later): Basically a serial killer come back as a Snowman to kill a crap load of people. My favorite death scenes: women killed by a runaway toboggan, and another is raped with his carrot nose. There are sooooooo many puns in the movie that even David Chapman would be impressed. Also another note: they don't even use real snow in the movie.
- Uncle Sam: goes around killing hippies who disrespect he American flag. It's a little slow but is still a terrible yet funny movie.
And I don't know if you could call it a B movie but I do LOVE the Evil Dead movies! They are really funny stuff.
The list goes on as I've watched a lot but those are my favorites.
The Garbage Pail Kkids Movies
They stole Hitler's knee
CHUD 2, Bud the CHUD, has an ace theme tune.
The best thing about these sort of films is that they haven't come out of the Hollywood big movie template, so you don't know what you are going to get, they are so unpredictable.
Basket Case is pretty weird, with a man carrying his deformed brother around in a basket. Brain Damage is about a brain eating, talking turd-shaped creature. Bad Taste is a mixture of action, comedy and gore.
I think I'm going to struggle to think of something as dodgy as Sewage Baby, though.
Blair Witch Project.
Not bottom shelf but just shit.

Now that was cheap. I think it cost $20,000 to make, but where did the money go? It looks like you could record it on your camcorder for 200 quid.

I think it did so well in America cos they thought it was a genuine documentary. If you were watching it thinking it was real it would no doubt be very scary.
Trouble is we knew it was just a movie by the time it got here, which completely missed the point and it no longer worked as a standard horror.

I like how you say "flipping". I must absorb it, and other similar verbiage ("jolly" et al) into my vocabulary.
