I love 'worst' lists. Talking with friends about movies that drive us insane is just as valid as sharing movies we love.
Me too. It's strange that i enjoy hearing how bad movies are. It's no fun to sit through a bad movie, but so much fun to hear from someone else who suffered through one.
The best thing about the Children Of The Corn series is the picture of Emma going crazy watching it.
MALUM's first problem is it never needed to exist. LAST SHIFT was perfect as is.
I just watched LAst Shift a few weeks back for the first time. Never heard of this Malum, but it's basically a remake from the same writer/director...? Huh? Why indeed?
Malum had me on edge but tbf I was half asleep on benadryl and it was like nonstop jump scares.
My biggest disappointment was The Meg 2, which shows you the depth of my movie going experience! 😄 I was going to wish you Happy Holidays,but I know how hard that'll be without Gromit. Just try to remember all the love you gave him and that you gave him the best life he could have had. ❤️
omg did little gromit pass??? its so heart wrenching, i hope she will be ok 😔
Yes, a couple weeks ago,sadly. 😢
@@mattfleurant9295 oh no thats awful x
Yes! The Meg 2 trailer made it seem so exciting but it was so much dark screen and lulling.
Thank you so much Matt
I was disappointed with The Pope’s Exorcist. That movie could’ve been so entertaining, but it was so boring.
So weird how 2022 was a stellar horror year but 2023 was really sparse in film and literature.
I thought Malum was ok, but last shift is amazing
@toddpacker4683….I’m with you. I actually thought Mallum was not that bad! Nowhere near as good as the original though.
I thought Pet Sematary Bloodlines was quite good! I was disappointed, though, that they didn't go into the story of the Wendigo, since it's such a huge part of the source material.
Dear David was a major letdown. Adam Ellis deserved better with his distinguished surname.
😊❤
I’m in the minority on this one: When Evil Lurks. I liked it but I was expecting the brutality of something like Martyrs. There was overwhelming hype and the trailer actually spoiled it for me. That trailer had bits and pieces of all the best parts of the film. From now on, I am done with watching trailers. Trailers suck ass, as they ruin the experience. My favorite films: Godzilla Minus One, Saltburn and Poor Things.
Probably a good video would be comparing the Trailer vs the Movie.. trailers can overpromise and sometime give away the whole premise. And the movie doesn’t live up to Trailer
I consider your Children of The Corn ranking to be one of your best videos and I'm curious if you have a personal pitch for the series. What would you truly love to see in a remake?
Hi! I'm Casey Kasem. This one goes out to a heart-sick lover with a severed head!"😅
Just a gloomy sinister and simple story done right. I think it’s all about the atmosphere and having it more of a drama horror, like The Village
@@spookyastronauts That checks out!
Top 10 Disappointments Horrors: 10) Children Of The Corn 9) Evil Dead Rises 8) The Exorcist: Believer 7) It’s A Wonderful Knife 6) The Tutor 5) Pet Semetery: Bloodlines 4) The Boogeyman 3) There Something Wrong The Children 2) Knock At The Cabin Of The Woods 1) Beau Is Afraid
Let me know if you liked Sister Death! That was a better movie than Concencration and deals with nuns. It was directed by the maker of Veronica and REC. it’s actually a prequel to Veronica.
I might be the only person who thought 'Insidious: The Red Door' was great. I was deep into the relationship between Josh and Dalton and I did cry at the end when they successfully "closed the door" on their past. I also didn't have any set expectations and was pleasantly surprised by the more emotional and somber tone.
I agree with you. I understand the disappointment, but I do not share it. I also really liked the father/son dynamics, as well as having an opportunity to actually witness what happened when they "got rid" of the demons, back in the past, how the family held on - or not - and recovered - or not - from the trauma they endured.
I respect how progressive it is. Men should be able to express their emotions and deal with their pain to avoid self-destruction/toxic masculinity. I just wanted a horror movie also so I was disappointed not seen the other movies.
Imagine having so much more Rose Byrne in Insidious: The Red Door. Also, imagine a scenario where Lin Shaye is in that role, but she was in the entire film in a haunting capacity in a similar role that Bruce Willis had in The Sixth Sense. That would have been cool!
I love your videos! Im so sorry about your dog! I lost mine this year and was just devastated. I agree with you so really like your insight and enjoy your videos. As a
HUGE HUGE Exorcist fan, that new one was my biggest let down. Such disrespect to the old one with those lazy jump scares.
I have to agree with Malum 🤭 I feel bad, but when I started watching it, I was like who in the world is trying to riff off Last Shift & not doing a good job of it either. The beginning started off strong, but then, yeah. The acting threw me off. I turned it off & actually watched Last Shift. 🤭 I had no idea it was by the same director 😬😬😬. If I could recommend a few different, not talked about movies…these movies are not for the faint of heart lol but I think they deserve a mention (in my humble opinion) Panic Button (2011), Triangle (2009) Glorious (2021 has the actor that plays Sookie’s brother on True Blood) Let Us Prey, Nightmare on Precinct 13, What Keeps You Alive, & Swallowed (2023)
The killer cupcake got me so good I was HOWLING 😂
Hi Emma, hard to have happy holidays when dealing with loss. Sorry 😟. I hope yours can at least be calm. I wish I could mail you a snowball across the Pacific. Great video, felt like I needed to straighten my life out as you used your "I'm not mad, just disappointed" voice at these movies. But now I know I need to see Last Shift, so thanks! Oh and I think Children of the Corn could be adapted into a siiiick horror anime
Thanx for the warning, Emma!!! Always great to hea what we missed and what we should miss from the yeia...
how did i just now find out that the girl in Malum was Grace in Skins! I guess i have to watch it now
honestly malum was one of my favorites of the year!!! I still like last shift but was a lot more gory and intense and last shift, I loved it
I agree that nun horror is getting overdone, but I thought Sister Death kicked ass!
Very surprised you didn't include Exorcist Believer on this list too.
She didn't hate it.
She gave it higher (7/10) than Saw X (6/10)
You probably don’t watch my videos George haha
I do Emma, but I must have missed your review of the film@@spookyastronauts
I completely agree! Insidious: The Red Door was such a let down. I absolutely love the series! The other one I was disappointed in Exorcist Believer.
Im surprised with a bigger budget with Malum it still looked cheaper than the original and it ruined the story as well so it was a lose lose movie. Not bad for those that dont know the original
This is the drama I needed
🤣
I agree with the religious horror needing a break but I have to recommend "Sister Death" which I really enjoyed, some really creepy moments.
To me the disappointing horror movies are Scream 6(to an extent), Talk To Me, The Exorcist: The Believer, and A Wonderful Knife
What was disappointing about Talk to Me?
I had enough about 40 minutes into talk to me
@@dragdive I thought it was stupid, boring, and not scary
@@thebeerbaron602 I almost fell asleep during the second half act of the movie
Hey Emma, I am heartily sorry for your loss; Ironically Both Pet Sematary Bloodlines and Children of the Corn made my top 10 list!; as for the films that disappointed...
Don't Look Away, It Lives Inside and Float all had super creepy trailers reminiscant of how creepy Smile's trailer was (Which was equally disappointing, come to think of it...) and Dark Harvest, Creepypasta and Fear all also had me really excited until I wached them.
The first 15 secs is why I ❤ you. Merry Xmas everyone 🤘
Best part of this video…I was too busy watching great horror movies that I didn’t see any of these. Though I am intrigued by 5 Nights and COC.
I totally forgot that Dear David was a movie that came out this year. LMAO.
I rarely get upset over movies. If I don't like it, I will shrug it off and go on with my day, but Malum honestly made me upset by how awful it was. How is it even possible to take everything that worked so well in Last Shift and completely ruin it, just water it down. I went "Oh no" in the first minute, and it kept getting worse. Arrrgh, now I'm upset again! I need to watch Last Shift and calm down :)
i really enjoy your rant videos ! i didn’t watch any of these because i didn’t think they would be to my tastes, despite liking the original children of the corn. i was looking at my overall year rankings and … this was not my year for horror. to be fair, last year had a hundred bangers but … i won’t be revisiting a lot of the movies i’ve seen thus far.
For me my most disappointing (not the worst, just ones I had expectations for) would be Elevator Game, Winnie The Pooh (yes even with super low expectations), Dear David, Slotherhouse, The Meg 2 and Wrath of Becky.
When Evil Lurks had all the components that I should have enjoyed but somehow didn’t work for me
I know I was very disappointed with Five Night at Freddy's because I thought I would going to get a very decent horror film but it seems the filmmakers didn't want to push the envelope. I rather watch The Banana Splits or Willy's Wonderland. I was also disappoint with Evil Lives Here and The Last Voyage of the Demeter.
Thank You for the List and Video 😀
Always love a worst of the year list where I wisely avoided almost all of the entries. The only one I saw was FNAF, and I didn't have a bad time with it, I just wasn't as interested in the movie it wanted to be. It seemed like it wanted to be a supernatural drama like "Lady in White" or a movie like that but couldn't quite pull it off. But it was enjoyable enough and I'm fine with viewing it as a kind of victory lap for the entire franchise.
Every other movie on this list I missed and I'm glad I did, Malum especially because I really enjoyed Last Shift.
I very much agree with most of the list. Five Nights, it's not that I wasn't disappointed, but I saw it as more of a scary movie for kids. It was almost a family movie. It could be something for one of my nephews when they're old enough for their first horror
I'm also often let down by my own expectations... 2023 was ok, lots of ok-average movies, but I don't have this amazing movie that really stood out and made my year.
What about Exorcist... That was bad...
She liked that one
My most disappointing horror film of 2023 is "Thanksgiving". From Eli Roth I was expecting anything but such a generic, soulless slasher.
Insidious Red Door - Scott Teems (Halloween Kills, Firestarter) wasn't the best choice to fill out a Whannell script. You can see Whannell wanted to tie in all the Further lore from the first four movies, but execution wasn't there.
Malum - Wish they'd leave some mystery surrounding it, more doesn't equal better. Did like the ending though
Children of the Corn - Another attempt to milk some decent IP
Other Personal Disappointments - Renfield (Felt Hoult and Cage could've made it a great horror comedy) & Voyage of the Demeter (Strung out and paint by numbers Vampire movie)
adorable little creatures of subculture - oh that made me laugh so hard. You are on fire Emma! Love ya to pieces :-). And I agree on your list, especially Malum was a huge disappointment to me, that proves higher budget doesn't mean better movie (at all), Pet Sematary - I still don't understand why they even made it (kidding - money of well know title - duh!) and Insidious - this one was very underwhelming because I love Patrick Wilson so much and was rooting for his directorial debut... Still think he might just go for some new, original script instead. Well, hope he'll get another shot.
After watching your Five Nights streams, with all the jump scares...it was definitely weird seeing the movie only to find out there weren't any. lol. I did like the character stuff in it though so it was worth watching for me.
Completely unrelated, but I literally just finished Martyrs for the first time right now. I'll be okay. On to this video, which will be way more fun lol
I loved Last Shift!
Havent seen five nights at Freddie's yet😊
Your Children of the Corn video is my favorite! The thumbnail, the content, how your enthusiasm subsided with each sequel... Precious. :D
I know it’s not really your territory but I’d love to hear your review of the iron claw!
Totally down for these kinds of videos. Hyping up good movies only means something if we also talk about the ones that don't live up.
I always discuss this stuff when I review but it’s a lot to do lists of just negatives. Only once in a blue moon
@@spookyastronauts That makes sense, I can imagine making these lists frequently would feel too harsh.
Thank you for using Letterboxd btw. I keep using your profile to find movies when I'm stuck.
"Last Shift" and "Assault on Precinct 13" (1976) would make an interesting double feature. Screen the John Carpenter movie first.
You save d me from boredom and disappointment.😘
I love worst lists. It's helpful. We need to have a critical eye otherwise we are not balanced and out of touch. We need to see and acknowledge the positive and negative in equal measure to get through anything and everything. I learnt positively is for a fragile ego and makes us unable to handle the reality of life, making people unable to handle any negativity that comes their way.
I thought I’d see The Exorcist Believer on the list
Hey SA
Just wanted to say thanks for all the great content in 2023 and I hope you have a good Xmas.
2023 definitely a let down but lots to look forward too.
Check out The Bastard of Carolina if you haven't seen it, I recommended it on a previous video but appreciate you can't pick up all the messages.
Messed film mate 👌 👍
Thank you!!!! I have had it on one of my many lists for a long time!!! Really appreciate your kind words 🥹
Biggest disappointment for me was Eli Roth's THANKSGIVING --- PLEASE DON'T GET AT ME!!!! LOL --- hear me out:
I didn't care for ANY of the characters, I started to get bored, the thrills and kills were so lame... veryyy underwhelming - I was shocked that this is what Eli Roth came up with.
Children of the corn (2020) was GOD AWFUL! lol I turned it off halfway through - it's funny because I couldn't finish Consecration either and I lovvvve Jena Malone! smh what a waste. Pet Semetary Bloodlines was so unnecessary in my opinion.
Please do more of these videos! 😁
Same wavelength. Correct.
I liked Insidious 5! The deep dive into the Dad's past worked well for me. Rose Byrne is gorgeous, too.
Good Children of the corn is a spanish movie "Who can kill a child?" filmed before King wrote the book.
Absolutely agree on Malum.
I missed a lot of your picks, I need to watch them and experience the pain for myself lol. There were three movies this year that caused me physical pain, definitely my worst three:
1) All Fun and Games (what a waste of a movie and a waste of great actors)
2) There’s Something Wrong with the Children (How do you ruin a premise as good as this film)
3) It’s a Wonderful Knife (pandering, boring, obvious)
Honorable mentions to Cobweb and The Boogeyman. I kind of think of “Night Swim” as The Boogeyman of 2024 now. A meh horror that brings nothing new but has a decent drama at its core, marred by there being next to no horror.
I knew exorcist believer would be bad but I wasn't prepared for the level of punishment it foisted upon my brain
Dear David was a Twitter thread that scared the shit out of me, I'm so bummed. I didn't expect it to be good though when I saw the trailer, I feel like they changed it too much
Lol, I'm still disappointed in Malignant from a few years ago. But this year, hmmm Sanctuary, Good Boy, From (TV show), There's Someone In Your House, Barbarian, and a few more, but I can't remember off the top of my head of they were from 2023. Some if these might be older.
Barbarian was 2022
Well, the good news is that I was able to miss the films from your rant list. I remember seeing some of your reviews throughout the year and certain films did surprise me in that they did not deliver for you like Pet Sematary: Bloodlines and Children Of The Corn. However, I saw a few duds myself, so here's my little list:
NIGHT OF THE HUNTED - great premise and plenty of suspense, but I felt the filmmaker was trying too hard for a "political real world" motivation.
THE JESTER - loved the shorts trilogy, but the filmmakers ruined the character by changing the lore. Evil doesn't always need a specific explanation.
THE PUPPETMAN - why so much hype about this film? It was pretty stale.
MONSTERS OF CALIFORNIA - slow burn search for "monsters", only to lead into the plot of Hanger 18 (1980), which I saw in theaters as a kid.
PROJECT Z - expected something like "One Cut Of The Dead" with an alien twist, but just another boring found footage.
Reinfield for me.
Definitely not the right forum but please hype Dogs Don't Wear Pants on Shudder
I’m in the minority with Malum. I liked it quite a bit. Maybe more than The Last Shift. Maybe
Evil Dead Rise was a disappointment for me. Not as gory or scary as the hype. Might have been the story wasn't drawing me in enough for the horror to work. When everyone is getting eliminated I assumed everyone left is going to be eliminated and that eliminated the suspense way before the end of the movie.
Low expectations for that movie. I paid to see it because the teens are trans/NB. Evil Dead remake is "perfect".
The only redeeming quality about insidious the red door was the music at the end, which had the Swedish 🇸🇪 rock band 🎸 Ghost 👻 doing a cover of stay by Shakespeare’s sister.
The exorcist ☹️
Totally agree, would add V/H/S/85 and Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey
The only tolerable one was Insidious: Red Door. Everything else was 💩. As a King fan I was soooooo disappointed in Pet Semetary and Children of the Corn. Dear David…wasted $5.99 on that lol very bummed about it. *loved* Last Shift and it freaked me out. Malum lost tons of the terror in the original.
Hollyweird needs to relinquish the horror genre to the independents and the Hollyweird adjacents. People who aren't looking at the the $$Bottom Line$$ first and then treating story and character development as an afterthought.
It's like Hollyweird either doesn't even watch what they churn out or even have a any kind of regard for the classic crossover horror like 'The Exorcist' and 'Rosemary's Baby'.
Also, could someone please SLAP the direcor's viewfinder out of James Wan and Rob Zombie's grubby little paws!!!! GEEZ!! Crap on Crap!!
I was SO disappointed with Dear David! I totally agree with everything you said! I recorded my bottom horrors of the year (it’s scheduled for after Christmas) and it made No1. I was anticipating it so much.
After hearing your opinion, I am *so so happy* I didn’t get around to the Last Shift remake. I really enjoyed the original as a spooky, tense little indie film. It’s so disappointing that they goofed it with a bigger budget.
My most disappointing was The Exorcist: Believer. Though I’m probably Boo Boo the Fool for thinking it might maybe be good. If you’re ready to put away religious horror for a while, I’m ready to stop resurrecting classic horror for mid to awful results. The only exception being Egger’s new Nosferatu.
Absolutely this is your absolutely outstanding channel
Malum was so good
I’m so glad to find out that I’m not the only one who likes Insidious 3 a lot. I don’t know why, but that movie is both cozy and scary.
Yep you're right, springtrap's reveal meant nothing to me. I took it as it was though, a fan film for a younger audience
You should check out the iron claw movie. Tragic true story
A great "disappointing" list. Malum for me is the biggest disappointment on your list. How could the director who made the original falter so badly. The biggest horror movie disappointment of 2023 or any other year is The Exorcist: Believer. What a pile of crap. Someone has to stop David Gordon Green from ever directing another horror franchise film again.
10th Children of the corn?!!! How this franchise is made?! 😱
All of these “reboots” or “revisitings” or whatever usually just show me that the source work is always better than the second (or fifth) time around.
I heard a lot of good things about Cobweb but was sorely disappointed. I’ve yet to see Talk To Me but have high hopes. On a more positive note, When Evil Lurks had me engaged from beginning to end👌
I honestly thought I would hate FNAF, but I actually did enjoy it quite a bit
I'm shocked Malum i thought it was a great film
Last shift never needed to be remade. It wA perfection as is. A love letter to horror fans.
I'm kinda disappointed u didn't like Malum. I thought it was a upgrade and a complete stand alone film. Last shift is amazing and a great inDie horror film. I agree with you there. But Malum was just so visually frightening to me. I watched it alone in the middle of the night and had nightmares. I also have a fear of cults and creepy songs so I guess I was sensitive to it. Most disappointing of the year for me was the exorcist believer crap. What a joke.
I didn’t mind Malum aside from it being a bit messy.
A big disappointment for me is the fact I've only just discovered your channel and I wish I'd found it long ago. Keep up the good work!!
omg Dalton all grown up in Insidious ☺ hard to believe its the same dude, he grew up well tastey
In The Ruins I was very much rooting for Jenna Malone, and I wasn’t disappointed. Hope she gets better movies!
I loved the movie Last Shift. It's just a fun ride. The oroginal Children of the corn is a family fav. I think young ppl watching movies that came out long b4 they were born may not be able to appreciate the context of the times.
I totally agree on Insidious..I really like the Insidious movies, much more than The Conjuring ones. but The red door just deeply disappointed me. I found it to be really boring and not adding anything interesting to the franchise at all. expectations may play a role in this, maybe if it was a standalone movie it would have been a little bit better...but just a little bit.
This is my worse list as i'm not sure did you do one.
1 Meg 2: The Trench
2 Thanksgiving
3 Final Summer
4 Missing
5 Cocaine Bear
6 The Nun 2
7 The Exorcist: Believer
8 Insidious: The Red Door
9 The Boogeyman
10 Sick
My heart goes out to you during this time ❤
Im so sorry to hear that Pet Semetary Bloodlines wasn't good. I know you were looking forward to that one. Or well at least willing to give it a try 😂
LET IT ALL OUT ! 🥳
