Today, October 31, is Halloween. And nothing better to celebrate the date than marathon horror films and series to get you in the mood for the date – even if such films are not necessarily horror, but rather drawn to suspense or even to a more light-hearted, comedic horror, the so-called “terrify”. To do this, simply select a list of your favorite movies, gather your friends and guarantee fun. And if you don’t know what to watch, we’ve put together a list of tips for the productions present on the most varied streaming platforms so you don’t miss the date. Another important tip is what to avoid watching. And so, now we bring you just that, with the definitive list of critics “voting” the 45 worst horror movies of all time. As the material would be very broad, we have divided it into two parts. Here is the first. Check it out below.

Martyrs (2008) is an acclaimed French horror production. Of course, Hollywood wasted no time and tried to remake the feature film, and as almost always happens in these cases, the new was far below the original. In the plot, two women seek revenge on those who wronged them.

Have fun watching:

The first The Experiment (1995) about a woman raised in a laboratory, half-human, half-extraterrestrial, who only wanted to know about mating, even had a certain charm. It’s all gone in this sequel, which is pointless to say the least.

With Rachael Taylor in the cast, this generic horror aimed to create another icon of the genre with the introduction of the great psychopath Jacob Goodnight (Glenn Jacobs). It didn’t do very well, but it was used to generate a sequel in 2014.

In Hollywood nothing is created, everything is copied. Well, in terms of horror, it could be. As is the case with this film with Joshua Jackson which is a remake of Thai Spirits – Death Is By Your Side (2004).

Another horror remake, this one of an American movie. The original is a 1980s cult hit called Prom, starring Jamie Lee Curtis fresh out of Halloween (1978). This remake no longer has much to do with the first, and it has become one of the least beloved movies among horror fans.

Blonde Elisha Cuthbert had her heyday in the early 2000s, thanks to the series 24 and the films Show Neighbor and House of Wax. Captivity tried to ride this wave, but was solemnly ignored.

When teenage slashers were revived in the late 1990s, everyone who took the time to pick up their sequel ended up eating a fly. Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer released sequels the following year to their originals. Legendary Urbana decided to wait a year, which turned out to be fatal…

The 2000s saw a veritable wave of horror remakes in Hollywood. This one is about a nanny plagued by calls, which she discovers are coming from inside the house where she takes care of the children. The original has been cult since 1979, while the much less-loved remake stars the Brazilian’s daughter Camilla Belle.

The cool thing about lists like this is that we can find movies we haven’t heard of in a long time. This is the case with this “shameless” Sony production which uses the Tooth Fairy as a “bogeyman”! It’s true!

36) Slender Man – Faceless Nightmare (2018)

We can think that everything has already been done when talking about horror and all kinds of figures have already been used to try to sign a new villain of the genre. What we can say is that not everyone is born to be Jason, Freddy or Michael Myers. Such is the case with the tooth fairy above and this Internet “meme” called “the slender man”.

Starring Winona Ryder, this goofy horror rides on a wave that was very popular in the late 90s and early 2000s – biblical/apocalyptic horror movies. As you might expect, this is one of the worst, but not the worst. Hold.

I think fans of the 70s cult series, who had nothing to do with horror, could even forgive this complete misunderstanding if the Blumhouse movie was any good. But after the result, we can’t blame them for the complaints.

Arguably The Ring (2002) is one of the best, perhaps the best remake of an Asian production in Hollywood – and it served to introduce the world to the talent of Naomi Watts. The second film had already given rise to a staggering work in 2005. What can a wait of more than ten years say? Only that this ship had already sailed.

Gossips say that when star Hilary Swank doesn’t win an Oscar, she’s starring in a bad movie or one with questionable content, there doesn’t seem to be any common ground for the actress. When he did this atrocity for Warner, Swank already had two figures gracing his shelf.

But Hilary Swank certainly won’t be the last Oscar-winning star to make the list of worst horror movies of all time. Now comes ultimate muse Sandra Bullock, propelling this devious supernatural thriller about a woman having visions of her husband’s death and trying to save him from impending danger.

An American Werewolf in London (1981) remains an icon of the genre and a great choice for celebrating Halloween. This late sequel, not so much. It was one of the films that jumped on the bandwagon of post-Scream clever jolly scripts in the late 90s.

In Hollywood, many productions are created trying to capitalize on the figure of a potential young star. But when their career ends in failure, these films leave the scene just as quickly. This is the case of this Sony/Columbia feature film which had the presence of Kerr Smith as a lure – do you remember him?

28) I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998)

With one of the longest-running titles in movie history, this teenage slasher continues a film that, well, didn’t need a sequel. And he definitely didn’t need THIS sequel. Here the action is moved to the island of the Bahamas and the plot is so complicated that one can only laugh at its ridiculousness.

I can say that I had the “displeasure” of watching this feature film at the Rio Film Festival of its respective year. This remains a curious fact. But as Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz never tire of saying, the only positive thing about this haunting Warners film was the relationship that developed between the two behind the scenes. They are absolutely right.

Starring the dear and talented Michael Keaton as his career waned in the mid-2000s, the plot shows the actor as an architect trying to communicate with his wife through audio recordings, but attracting instead of evil entities. In other words, very generic horror.

Released in January in the United States, formerly known as the date when “movies go to die”, this supernatural found footage is produced by the same person responsible for major blockbusters such as Transformers and Megashark and has the director of Orphan 2.

Olivia Cooke is receiving rave reviews for her role as Queen Alicent, one of the protagonists in HBO Max’s House of the Dragon. But nearly ten years before, he had had to undergo the test of this terror on the infamous board which communicates with the dead.

80s horror films have their guilty pleasure value and the vast majority make it into the select list of unforgettable cult productions. This is what the decade represents. And The Return of the Living Dead (1985) is one of the great cult icons of fun and subversive humor of the time. However, this sequel did not garner the same praise.

Troll (1986) is a B-horror production that no one gives two cents to, or even hears much about. Interestingly, though, the film stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Seinfeld’s perennial Elaine, and now Marvel’s Fontaine Countess Valentina Allegra. This Trolls 2 has become cult thanks to its stigma of being “so bad it’s good”, remembered as one of the worst films of all time.

Hallucinations from the Past (1990) is a cult production starring Tim Robbins about the trauma experienced by a Vietnam War veteran. In 2019 they released a remake of the hat, starring Michael Ealy – which for some reason in Brazil was considered a sequel and not a remake.
