10 Most WTF Horror Movies

Published

on

Sometimes, filmmakers have to go to the deepest depths of their minds to create something that will truly stand out; something unique and invigorating. Other times they opt for a different route. I’m not exactly sure how they come up with these ideas, but they’re absolutely insane. Maybe they just look at a household object, or pick out of a hat and decide on a villain for a movie right then and there. I’m not worried about how they do it really, I’m just happy that they do. If you like stupid, gory humor like I do, you’ll get a kick out of these films. Here are 10 movies that will have you saying, “WTF!?”

“There’s no such thing as an evil turkey. Oh wait, I lied.”

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978)

I’m laughing to myself as I type this. What has my life come to? How did I get to lucky to be able to get to write about a movie featuring giant, evil tomatoes? With glee, I start the list with this amazing and totally WTF film. Personally, I think this movie, and all of the other movies on this list for that matter, are hilarious. The critics, for the most part, do not agree.

The Gingerdead Man (2005)

Gingerdead man. So un-clever. I love it! This movie stars Gary Busey as an evil Gingerbread cookie that wants to kill everything in sight. It spawned two sequels, with the second one being titled The Passion of the Crust. Come on, that one is pretty funny.

Thankskilling (2009)

A typical slasher movie with a twist. The killer is a turkey. One with a horribly foul mouth as well. Hey, there’s even a turkey sex scene! The effects are terrible and the dialogue is even worse. The jokes aren’t even the slightest bit clever. It’s intentionally bad, but it works. I found this movie absolutely hilarious. “There’s no such thing, as an evil turkey.” Just keep repeating that to yourself and see if it helps.

Wadzilla, Chillerama (2011)

Chillerama is an anthology film only for those that can handle tasteless, offensive humor. All of the segments are pretty WTF, but none more so than the first one, Wadzilla. An homage to the 1950’s monster films with a disgusting twist. A man’s sperm count is raised, only to have disastrous consequences. They become humongous and they want to kill you. Adam Rifkin, the director of this one, has also done a bunch of family flicks. You can’t trust anyone these days.

Basket Case (1982)

One of three movies on this list that I don’t think were intentionally WTF. This one features a man and his brother, whom he carries around in a little basket. The basket case is an evil removed siamese twin named Belial. It actually looks pretty terrifying. Oh, and there’s a sex scene in this one too. What is with people making such strange creatures have sex? What is wrong with you people!? Never change. You’re sick and I love it.

Evil Bong (2006)

If you get all the way through this movie, I owe you a firm handshake. I like Charles Band, I really do, and I’ve always had an appreciation for his ridiculous Puppet Master franchise. But the Evil Bong Franchise? Not so much. And yes, I wrote franchise. There are like seven million Evil Bong movies. There is even one where the Evil Bong faces off against The Gingerdead Man! Oh, and Bill Moseley is in this one. WTF!

The Lift (1983)

The second film on this list that isn’t intentionally WTF, but still manages to be. Okay, so get this; the villain in this movie is an elevator. A killer elevator. And it’s supposed to be scary! This isn’t even a joke film! Every death in the movie could have been avoided by taking the stairs! Just take the stairs, you idiots! Enough with the nonsense! Enough!

Jack Frost (1997)

I have to admit something about this movie. When I was a young boy, at the tender age of seven, I saw the cover for this VHS tape in a Blockbuster and it scared the shit out of me. Yep. Jack Frost, the killer snowman, successfully scared at least one person since it’s release. I pray to everything holy that I am the only one who could admit to this truthful embarrassment.

Troll 2 (1990)

Regarded by most people as the worst film ever made, this one truly needs to be seen to be believed. I usually don’t want to give any spoilers, but here, I need to. At the end, the evil goblins (there aren’t even any trolls in the damn movie) that live in the town of Nilbog are defeated by a bologna sandwich. Read that again. A bologna. Sandwich. This is the third movie that was not intentionally supposed to be funny.

Monsturd (2003)

Yes, this movie is exactly what it sounds like. An evil piece of shit. Literally. Someone actually had this idea, wrote a script, hired actors, and committed the whole thing to film. Just watch the trailer. I don’t even know what to say about this. WTF. W. T. F.

 

Hopefully you find these movies as funny as I do. Maybe you won’t. I don’t know. It’s really hard to gauge how well any of these WTF movies will be received by normal, rational people unlike me. If you’re going to choose one of these, make it either Troll 2 or Basket Case. Troll 2 is so funny that you will be laughing the entire duration of the movie, and Basket Case is actually kind of…good.

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments

Published

on

It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.

We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.

Evil Dead Rise

“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”

That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”

Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening

Published

on

Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.

Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.

Happy Sad Confused

Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.

Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.

Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.

The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake gyllenhaal presumed innocent

Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s in ‘Presumed Innocent’

Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.

These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:

According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”

Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.

Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
