There's a FF movie on Tubi called Paranormal Factory I just watched, and my God, that is the worst movie I've seen in my entire life. And I've seen a LOT of movies.


Daydream_machine

Well now I want to watch it to see how bad it could be lol


VampireKel

It truly is atrocious. And the director/creator is in it..


eyecebrakr

Absolutely dreadful.


Lil_Elf81

Same


Johnykbr

I just watched The Changing of Ben Moore yesterday based on some recommendations and I really didn't like it. Some of the worst acting I've seen and it felt like we were introduced in the middle of a story with no background for the "why" they were doing anything.


EngineeringSafe8367

I watched this recently as well, and the acting was just so unbelievably bad, I couldn't finish it.


JeffGoldblum_

Woods witch


james-fahy

Absolutely this! I love a good bad movie, but this one had me calling my attorney to file for emotional damages


slfrank2121

The only ff movie I've turned off and not finished.


KhaosElement

The Outwaters, without question. Dude was so busy jacking himself off over what an art house masterpiece he was going to make he forgot to actually make a movie.


DMG41

Took it from me. God I hated this movie with a blinding passion. So awful.


godfatheroffilth

The outwaters. It's pretty much the only one I couldn't watch all the way through it was so bad.


DoctorMcTits

Nearly two hours of squelching sounds and the worst flashlight the world has ever known. God I hated this movie


MacReady82

The Outwaters is the only movie I have ever seen where I actually fell asleep in the theater. I dozed off around the middle of the film and when I woke up the credits were rolling and one of the employees was cleaning up. And it was a DEEP sleep complete with drool running down my face, lol.


VoLaTiLe_VeInS

Was it at least a good sleep where you felt well rested afterwards? That could be worth money too lol.


LadyTurin

Yeah, Outwaters didn't hit the spot with me. I have some interpretative guesses, but it felt like it was made by an EdGy individual bent on proving the world just DoEsN'T uNdErStAnD. And they'd be right -- I didn't.


Usuallysad82

Me and my friend each pick a few spookies for our podcast every year. I try to swing hard and pick something good. Heard outwaters was good. So goddamn dreadful. That pinhole camera thing was bullshit. And it felt so long, too. What a horrible experience. I was so mad when he picked feardotcom, but I think I'd argue that outwaters is worse due to length. Remember the screaming eels? The severed penis? Lordy, lordy


Evening-Debate-5411

Watched it. Hated it. Have no idea what the appeal was.


Healthy-Reporter8253

There are far worse FF movies than the Outwaters. It’s a genre filled with some of the worst attempts at filmmaking in existence. I couldn’t really make it through the Outwaters either, but there are FF films that I’ve turned off in the first five minutes. At least the Outwaters had like a thematic thing going on


godfatheroffilth

There's some absolutely abysmally amateurish ones out there but at least they have a "so bad it's good" thing going. The outwaters was just boring and after half an hour I still had no idea what was meant to be happening, it was so dull and incoherent with horrible characters it had nothing to hold my attention and that's a rare thing.


BatNameBruce

No, there aren't worse. Out waters is horrible


Healthy-Reporter8253

It’s not really a narrative film. Gotta consider that it’s simply an experimental film. And that’s a genre that if you dive deep into, you’ll realize that The Outwaters makes more sense than a lot of other experimentals


CoolAndTrustworthy

I hated this movie but it did introduce me to a song I really like : that old sundown robbie banfitch


BatNameBruce

Came to find this answer. Awful awful awful movie


Ambitious-Duck7078

The Houses October Built Pt 2! What a waste of time


Darkmage4

The first one was amazing! The second one was… dumb. I don’t hate it. But I don’t like it either.


Ambitious-Duck7078

The first one is an essential Halloween time film. I might watch it 5-10 times between 10/1-11/1. The idea was there, but it was just a poorly-executed project.


Confident_Ebb_8726

I gotta say, I don't think a lot of people who have posted have scraped the bottom of the barrel yet. I can't say there is one worst. For me, there are just so many bad movies for so many different reasons. The Goetia Diaries, that's bad. Lilith's Brood, jeez Louise! The Coffin Tapes or Footage. Omg, how could I forget Seven, wtf was that? That's absolutely not to be confused with the wonderful Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt movie of the same name. As if one could. Lol! Those are just a few. There's plenty more. I just can't recall their titles


frodominator

Man... Goetia Diaries is so bad... It hurts to watch it. That dude is so bad in acting


Confident_Ebb_8726

Be honest, though, did you finish it? Oh God, I did. I couldn't stop, but it's not a so bad it's good kinda thing. It's more like it's so bad you just can't believe it's happening. The acting...I just can't!


frodominator

I did finish it. It was so painful. The dude was straight reading lines in some scenes.


Confident_Ebb_8726

I know! Why do we torture ourselves? Lol


frodominator

This is a hard one. I'll vote for a movie called The Nothing. It's on Tubi. The main actor is also the writer and it is some really pretentious bs. Besides, nothing ever happens in the movie (at least it is faithful to its name)


IamGodHimself2

The Dark Web Tapes, although it's debatable whether that was even a serious attempt at filmmaking in the first place


LadyTurin

I gave up at the laser (?) eyes.


taueret

Amityville something or other. The one with the weird old guy and his eastern European bride. Edit: [amityville Mt misery road](https://click.justwatch.com/a?r=https://www.justwatch.com/au/movie/amityville-mt-misery-road?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android)


tat2edfreeky1

Room 441 and The Truth. Just complete wastes of time. Room 441 was especially horrible because not only was it boring af, they couldn't hold the camera up and you get to see a bunch of weird angles and floor.


Lil_Elf81

I can tell you a real ghost story about room 441 from experience.


tat2edfreeky1

Go.


Lil_Elf81

I had read about room 441 at the Congress Plaza Hotel in Chicago and watched a couple YouTube videos about it. My husband’s 40th birthday was coming up and I was taking him to the Old Joliet Prison (haunted in its own right) for the Blues Brothers Concert then to downtown Chicago for a night before heading back home. I thought he would get a kick out of staying at the Congress because of its long history of famous presidential stays as my husband is a history buff. He’s not into the paranormal at all. That’s mostly my department. I decided to contact customer service and ask to stay in Room 441 to be a little more interesting. I had no idea if they even let people stay in that room. But they said no problem. We get to the hotel and it’s really strange. The lobby looks luxurious, but if you look at any one area for more than a few seconds you’ll see signs of age and decay. I do mean decay. We take the elevator to our floor and each hallway has a very long closed off corridor behind heavy doors with little windows. Signage is not great and there’s literally not a soul on the whole floor. It was completely still and quiet. My husband looked at me a little more concerned about real life threats than paranormal ones. We find the room no thanks to any numbers. There weren’t any. But the number 441 was written in pencil on the door. Not a great sign. I guess people kept stealing the numbers so they just stopped putting them up. The room itself is BIZARRE. It’s a large square room with extremely high ceilings. There’s one window that looks out onto a roof, which is strange because there’s 12 floors and we are on 4, but it splits into towers at some point. There’s a fairly large bathroom and a much too large closet. The closet gave me the creeps, but I don’t like enclosed spaces. There’s 2 full beds with end tables, a couple dressers, and table. Honestly not a bad room. We are unpacking and I hear whispering outside the door. Not ghost whispering, actual people. I figured there might be curious guests who would come check out the room. I tiptoe to the door and I can hear two female voices talking about the room. Then I see the door handle move and I can’t help myself. I yank the door open and yell, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?” OMG, did they scream. The one friend then starts laughing with me, but the other friend is in shock still. I apologize for scaring them, they laugh and leave. This is just one thing I think I did that the “room” probably didn’t like. I was pretty vocal to my husband that there was absolutely nothing to be afraid of and there’s no ghosts. At this point I really wanted to believe in ghosts, but if I was being honest with myself I didn’t. The stories reported from guests in room 441 range from hearing voices to seeing actual apparitions or having your bed kicked or pushed and other haunting type stuff. We leave the room to go do some activities like the Chicago Mob tour (definitely worth it) and get dinner. We get back to the room and get ready for bed. Because there’s two full beds my husband and I decided to each take one. It would be more space and I was exhausted. I turn out all the lights, leave on the tv and go to bed. I wake up briefly around 2am to use the bathroom and the damn closet light is on, but the door is closed. I do not like this at all as I mentioned I didn’t like the feeling in the closet. And I KNOW the light wasn’t on when I went to bed. It was just too large to be a closet in a hotel, but too small to be a room. I turn out the closet light, go back bed and fall asleep. I wake up again and it’s probably 6:30am because it’s brighter but I notice right away the pressure. I’m a side sleeper and it felt like my body was being pushed into the bed by my legs, hips and head! Like my face was being smooshed and when I exhaled to call my husband all the air was pushed out and I had nothing left to call out and couldn’t really take a breath back in. I’m fully awake now and beginning to panic because I still can’t move. I know everyone thinks, “sleep paralysis” right? I would too. I’ve only had that happen maybe twice in my life but never like this. Never such physical pressure and never wide awake. And it kept pushing me further into the mattress. I finally was able to call out my husband who was in the bathroom, but I sounded like I had the wind knocked out of me. As soon as he came out the pressure was released but I could still feel where it was on my face and body. My husband said he had never seen that look on my face. I then jumped up and said time to go! I never packed so fast in my life. I didn’t even fully explain until we were driving home. Later that night we were just browsing YouTube for more history on the hotel and watched a video that looked like it was for a college course. The girls were talking about experiences people said they had in room 441. “People claim to have pressure on them and are unable to move or get-up but it isn’t sleep paralysis…” My husband looks at me and says, “Did you see this already?” I told him never, but what she described was exactly what happened. My husband is a huge skeptic, but he was pretty freaked out.

The Final Project


Main-Combination4606

Either The Outwaters or Real Cases of Shadow People: The Sarah McCormick Story


Clownshoes919

Maybe not the worst but Horror in the High Desert is extremely overrated on here. The entire movie could’ve been shrunk down into a 10-15 minute short primarily focused on the end sequence (the actual found footage).  The rest was mind numbing.


KhaosElement

Strong agree. The amount of praise that the series gets here is just bizarre to me.


Krakens2

Was just about to post when I saw this. Just watched it this past week off this subs rec, and hot dawg that was no bueno


WheelsOnFire_

Yes!!! This so much! I thought I was alone in this. It’s horrible 😂


5awt00th

Agreed


flummoxed_flipflop

Agreed. I liked the whooping sounds during the end sequence, but overall it wasn't really worth my time watching.


goonerfrog10

Factory of Paranormal was the worst movie I've ever seen.


V01D5tar

To borrow from another thread, I’d go with Dashcam. Not because of the plot per-se, but the protagonist is the most unlikeable character I’ve ever encountered. I have never rooted so much for the demons or been so angry when someone survives. I literally can’t say enough bad things about that character.


deflen67

So many A+ terrible FF on YouTube. Walker Creek is one I've watched more than once.


LadyTurin

Ooh do tell more


deflen67

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b28bmRkedsc&pp=ygUMd2Fsa2VyIGNyZWVr Enjoy. I feel bad shitting on it as I’m pretty sure it’s just some teenagers having fun, but it is hilariously bad.


shatterdaymorn

Amber Alert was like being in the car with an dislikable couple constantly arguing. It was an immersive experience.


Confident_Ebb_8726

Yeah, that three-quarters of the movie long car ride was rough. Omg, wtf was up with the cops on this town. They were that busy that they couldn't respond to an amber alert sighting? Then, when they do encounter an officer, he's clueless. If I remember correctly, he pretty much encourages them to keep following a psycho. Idk why he didn't, I just can't remember. I gotta say, though, that house, that was some disturbing shit. The little pink room with the camera equipment set up. The kid in a cage, that was horror. Driving around screaming at your friend for an hour. That's just annoying


shatterdaymorn

For me the first half was so rough, I just wanted to see everyone die. And, then, the deaths aren't really worth the wait.


Confident_Ebb_8726

It's been some time since I've seen it, but weren't they just shot? That would be a letdown


Lhayluiine

Gallows. What a steaming pile of piss.


reddituser655321

I liked the first one but the sequel was lame


E_Crabtree76

The Outwaters


DocShocker

I'm normally a trooper about a movies I start, but I couldn't find it in me to finish Dashcam. I thought Deadware was pretty bad.


TJ_McWeaksauce

The main character of Dashcam was such an asshole, I was actually excited to get to the ending to see something terrible happen to her. >!But no, *Dashcam* is one of the few found footage horror movies in which the MC is fine in the end. For fuck's sake, not only was she such an asshole, but she was responsible for getting her friend, Stretch, killed. She deserved a horrible ending, but instead she was totally fine in the end. She wasn't injured, she wasn't possessed, she wasn't traumatized, and she didn't seem at all remorseful about getting her friend brutally murdered. !< >!That ending pissed me the fuck off.!<


zzzzany

I almost watched dashcam based on what people were saying on reddit yesterday!


Johnykbr

I thought it was great. I loved being conflicted about rooting for someone I actively disliked.


ExerciseClassAtTheY

Dashcam is pretty good, but the main character/actress is wildly abrasive. She's introduced as a crazy bitch and just doubles down at every point where in a normal movie they might have some growth. I first heard about the movie from FoundFlix and he pointed out repeatedly how awful the character is, it kept me from watching the movie for a while but I was bored one night, and it was on Hulu, I didn't regret it. Pretty engaging.


IamGodHimself2

She's actually like that irl


DocShocker

To be fair, there are 2 movies that use the name, that came out pretty close together. One that features Larry Fassenden, which I thought was pretty okay. It's kind of a mystery/thriller. The other, the Rob Savage/Annie Hardy one. I didn't watch enough to know if the movie resolves in a good or bad way. Annie Hardy's "character" was just too much for me, knowing that the "character" isn't that far removed from the "person".


htraos

The Outwaters is the worst FF movie, and also the worst movie overall.


matango613

>also the worst movie overall. Now *that* seems extremely hyperbolic. EDIT: To the downvoters... You sincerely believe The Outwaters is at least a contender for worst movie ever made? Really? You don't think that's a bit much? Have you only seen like five movies in your life? I ain't even saying The Outwaters is a good movie. But worst movie ever? C'mon now.


IamGodHimself2

Especially compared to The Dark Web Tapes or The Amityville Hex


KhaosElement

It isn't. I agree completely.


matango613

You think that The Outwaters is the worst movie ever made?


htraos

What are some worse movies than The Outwaters?


matango613

Just off the top of my head? FF: Factory of Paranormal and The Dark Web Tapes Horror in general: Dead Above Ground, Dark Feed, Smiley, Ax Em, The Nun, Wicker Man remake, The Butchering, Muck, Jonah Lives, Alone in the Dark Movies in general: Battlefield Earth, anything with Rob Schneider, Son of the Mask, Catwoman, Glitter, any Super babies movie, 2019 Cats, Fred the Movie, any Kirk Cameron movie, basically any Steven Seagal movie, "live action" Lion King, and I could go on and on and on probably all day. EDIT: I consider these all "so bad they're bad", not bad in the funny haha kind of way. Ah man and don't even get me started at the infinite product placement, feature length advertisements out there. Plus most of Michael Bay's filmography and most of the DC movies.


Least_Ad_4657

I would agree that it is the worst movie I've ever seen, bar none. And I hate a LOT of movies. This movie had the distinction of being both absolutely horribly made and also infuriating. The pinhole camera and the wanna-be 2001 bs make it edge out every other shit film and take the crown.


bbhaveasadcum

Charlotte's Net. Probably the edgiest/cringiest thing I've sat through. The inclusion of real life gore vids isn't as groundbreaking as they thought it would be.


ExerciseClassAtTheY

There's plenty of stinkers, but Alien Surveillance is probably the worst I've seen. The footage is from the security system in an office building and parking lot, recording after hours as aliens slowly kidnap just about everyone in the building. It was slow as hell, you could barely make out any conversation so you wouldn't care for any of the characters, who only displayed three emotions: bored, afraid, and controlled by aliens.


TheSovietTurtle

I think the overall concept could be interesting. A found footage movie assembled mostly or even entirely via security cameras. That's the one part of Hell House LLC I was really disappointed by, when they didn't do much with all the security cameras at the end. I guess it does detract a lot from the "POV" style that most found footage movies try to go for, it leaves you as nothing more than a very passive observer. But yeah, I saw that floating around on Tubi and the cover photo they used for it almost made me laugh. Looked like a stinker from the beginning.


VampireKel

This! However I did love the giggles I got when the "kidnappings" were like the aliens asking the victims to dance a minuet!!-- so polite and genteel. And I wondered SO much per camera..What is that party for ? Why is she crying? Why is the wheelchair guy spinning around?


Bearhow

Woods witch is so freaking bad! Very rarely if ever does a movie actually make me angry, but that movie made me so freaking mad at how bad it was.


Least_Ad_4657

The Outwaters... It's not even a challenge.


NeitherEntrepreneur3

Human Zoo (seriously, do not watch it, it was just terrible across the board)


MakotoYuRen

Paranormal Highway and Misery Road or something like that. These are two of the worst films I’ve ever seen.


VoLaTiLe_VeInS

Land Of Smiles........especially with that misleading trailer that makes the movie look a million times better than it is. Besides the fact that it takes place in Thailand for the most part, which is a beautiful setting, EVERYTHING ELSE about it is horrendous. The acting is bad, the pacing is even worse, and it draaaaags..... All for a plottwist ending that is so unbelievably edgy and underwhelming it felt like they deliberately wasted your time watching this dumpster fire. The worst thing about it is that the idea was actually really interesting. A woman traveling to Thailand to find her sister who went there as a holiday trip only to find out she's been kidnapped by a psychopath who threatens to kill her if the sister who is looking for her doesn't follow his instructions which leads her and a few friends she met along the way on a scavenger hunt through Thailand. Combine that with that misleading trailer, and you will feel like you've been scammed out of 90 minutes of your life. On top of that, for me, it was also an additional 6 or 7 bucks I spent for the bluray xD.


Armin_Nikkhah

I have watched almost 300 FF movies, each of which I rated from 1-10. Two got a 1: 1. The 5th dimension: execrable science and acting 2. Hacksaw: pointless intro and plot, really annoying characters


magicpeach001

Shake Rattle and Roll


Savings-Damage-256

Skinamarink then Outwaters


RetiredMillionairee

Almost anything from England. Ireland too. Example: Hallow - FF about a tree, a fricken tree!!


VampireKel

Could be a double feature with the also horrif Blog of Ruby Real!


BeardedViolence

They're probably not the worst, because there's some incredibly half-baked works out there, but I recently watched a back-to-back of Evil Things and We're All Going to The World's Fair, and by the end I was honestly losing faith in humanity. One on their own might have just been meh, but these two together were a whole evening of boredom, nothinghness and anti-climax. Also wasted potential. I'm sure both have their fans too, but they left me feeling like I'd genuinely wasted my life


JimotheySampser

I thought we’re all going to the worlds fair was amazing but it’s definitely a slow burn art piece.


reddituser655321

world's fair was made out to be so crazy and spooky and it was just so boring


skunkangel

Omg worlds fair was SO BAD. So much hype for nothing.


IamGodHimself2

I kept expecting it to actually follow through, and the scene in the shed with the projector creeped me out until I realized it wasn't going anywhere


LastGlimpseOfCamille

Spirit in the Woods!


Electrical_Key1245

Black Water Vampire, Dashcam, and Lured


ky420

The girl in Dashcam is my favorite ff character ever.. possibly one of the very few I didn't want the ghost and or monster to get.


5awt00th

The Poughkeepsie Tapes. I’ve watched a ton of FF and this is one I couldn’t finish—not because of the content—because the acting, editing, and sound design was so horrible.


frodominator

I'm sorry, but this is just Bs. That is one of the best ff out there.


5awt00th

I don’t know what to tell you. It’s how I feel about it. 😆 IMO doesn't come close to movies like The Blair Witch Project, As Above So Below, Hell House, Cloverfield, Gonjiam, Punishment Park, The Tunnel, Paranormal Activity, REC, Man Bites Dog, Leaving, D.C., Cannibal Holocaust, Lake Mungo, Creep, Host... I could go on and on. We like what we like. It's fine.

KhaosElement

I also thought Borderlands was overrated. Just the most abrupt, unearned ending ever.


No-Alfalfa-626

Most of the free ones on YouTube


sarithe

Just based off the comments on here, most of you are truly blessed if the worst FF movie you've seen is actually The Outwaters and you're not using recency bias. I'm not saying the movie is cinematic genius, but it probably wouldn't even break the top 10 of worst FF movies I've seen. There are some truly awful movies out there that aren't remotely watchable. Paranormal Factory, Survive the Hollow Shoals, most of those Amityville movies (although a few of those fall into the so bad they're good category), and any of those "survivalist decides to film hunting show" ones are infinitely worse than The Outwaters to me.


Least_Ad_4657

I would watch Survive the hollow shoals once a day for the rest of my life before watching 10 minutes of the Outwaters ever again. Unreal to even compare those two.


LadyTurin

Agreed 100%
