Defining One End of The Spectrum: 5 of The Worst Films You Will Ever See.

Call it schadenfreude, call it masochism, call it crazy but, there is an enthusiastic horde of cinephiles out there who prefer the delights of failure to success. Just as with any subculture, the bad movie aficionados can be subdivided. There are those who prefer big budget Hollywood failures like Cats or Battlefield Earth. There are those who like awkward and cheap 1950’s science fiction classics. There is a very large crowd to match the copious output of horrible horror films. Of course there is the Ed Wood crowd too, and there are the polymorphous perverse enthusiasts who seek out low quality wherever it may lurk. This particular essay concerns itself with the lowest of the low. This is about the bottom dwellers who dig deeper, way past The Room and Troll 2 to a place few are willing to tread.
