I understand that Children of the Corn isn't largely popular but I definitely wouldn't call it one of the WORST. Just my opinion though.

Yeah, just your opinion. Appreciated. Thing is, I'm not overly keen on the horror genre, so I don't tend to watch a load of shite if I choose to. To be fair, if you add a three or four more to those I've listed, that would be about all I've seen.

[Philip Marlowe]

I tend to forget the extremely bad ones, only if there the "so bad there good" type so for bad I'd list they absoulutely worst which is Last House on Dead End Street. As for the best here's my ten at this very moment.

01. The Shining
02. John Carpenter's The Thing
03. Jacob's Ladder
04. The Exorcist
05. Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn
06. The Girl Who Knew Too Much
07. The Devil's Backbone
08. Alien
09. Halloween
10. Rosemary's Baby

honorable mentions go to.
The Haunting, Dawn of the Dead, The Hitcher, Scream
Simple ran out of room, but not to mention these would be a travesty.

Poltergeist doesn't get mentioned much so it's always nice to see someone pimpin it. As for Remake of Dawn. Throughly enjoyed this one. oh how, Sarah Polley kicks butt. I was expecting a knock off/rip off unintellegent remake but what I got was a film unto itself. intresting non flinching absorbing characters serious hard hitting and scary funny. The kind of scary that gets you to jump and then you laugh for being scared. brillant.

THE WORST

THE EVIL DEAD - This film was so low budget and quite creative for it's time. Many films made since have used this film as a way to make there first film. I don't no worst is harsh. It was original had crappy acting wasn't ovedrlong and most importantly fun.

MARTIN - It's funny that you mention this one because I recently was looking at what exactly Romero has made and why he is considered one of the best horror directors. For me Martin has to be my favorite of his or at least coming in as a close second. I really like everything about this film.

CRUISING - Well first you can't be homofobic or the film will fall flat on it's face for however is watching it. Second the ending can't annoy the person watch it it has to be considered intresting and worth thing about. If those two don't appeal to you or intrest you I can totally understand why you don't care for this film. For me I thought it was intriguing at times overlong and maybe a little on the ridicilous side, but the final film had me intrested.

TAKING LIVESI don't know it could have been a lot worst which doesn't say much. I enjoyed it for the most part nothing special which is way i'm not going to say it doesn't belong somewhere near the worst films. I guess I think it just didn't do anything that bad to make a worst list.
