10 Terrible Horror Movies (You Couldn't Stop Thinking About)
These awful horror films still live rent-free in your head.
Even though horror fans are an optimistic, permissive bunch, the sheer number of horror movies released every month - nay, every week - means that there's plenty of trash being put out there.
Most of it, though, doesn't make much of a dent and is quickly confined to the cultural abyss, yet every so often an awful horror movie comes out that does something to ensure it can't be dismissed quite so easily.
Sometimes a horror film is just so uniquely, intriguingly terrible that it leave you continually thinking about it when you're trying to get to sleep at night, questioning the many wrong choices made by everyone involved with it.
And that's absolutely true of these 10 horror flicks, each of which were largely panned by critics and general audiences alike, but they certainly haven't been forgotten.
Each has at least one distinct characteristic that's allowed it to cling on in the public consciousness - perhaps it has a loony concept, eccentric dialogue and performances, or is just an unintentional laugh-riot from beginning to end.
Whatever the reason, horror fans just can't shake these woeful movies from their minds...
10. The Devil Inside
To take a superficial look at it, The Devil Inside is merely one of the many critically panned, exorcism-themed found footage movies released throughout the 2010s, and hardly a film anyone would expect to still be talking about - let alone thinking about - almost 15 years later.
But William Brent Bell's 2012 film is still remembered in 2025 for one big reason - that almost unthinkably, insultingly awful ending.
The Devil Inside infamously climaxes with a non-ending, leaving the fate of possessed protagonist Isabella (Fernanda Andrade) up in the air, before cutting to a title card which urges viewers to visit a website, TheRossiFiles.com, for more information.
Audiences understandably felt duped, that they'd effectively been sold an incomplete movie, causing some to even demand refunds from Paramount.
And 13 years later it remains one of the most shameless things that any studio-produced horror film has ever done - a fact made all the worse given that TheRossiFiles.com doesn't even work anymore.
