Right I already made a thread about Horror Games in the far off country of Gaming Discussion so now here I am in the province of Off Topic to ask it's residents what they think is the least scary horror movie ever?

Horror movies are supposed to be scary, that's something we generally want to see in a movie that bares the title is something to make us feel fear. Some movies succeed at this and become remembered as truly great horror movies that people talk about with hushed voices and men tremble in the night as they know that somewhere in a distant DVD store the fearful movie lurks, haunting the place.
But on the other hand, if a movie that is meant to make you scared ends up making you laugh we are looking at something that has become a miserable failure that becomes the heavy subject of ridicule. The movies that just make you laugh or even just end up hating. For me an example would go to the Friday the Thirteenth movies but I already made a massive text wall about it, so I won't mention it again. So instead I'll make my example most horror films from America these days.

So without giving a proper example I'll instead ask you, what horror movie have you seen that was the least scary and why?

I don't watch horror films except for when I'm basically forced to (like when my brother is watching it in the same room I'm in and I don't want to leave, or it's movie night at someone's house, etc.), but I can honestly say that - if they qualify for horror films - the Final Destination series did absolutely nothing but disgust me.

"Hey, let's take these personality-less teenagers and systematically kill them off in arbitrary and contrived ways!"

But, you know me, I'm not the type to flat-out say I dislike something. If you like these kinds of movies (FD, Hostel, the Saw series) then that's fine by me, more power to you. They're definitely not my cup of tea.

Well they weren't really horror movies.... they were parodies.... but then they had no actual element of satire in them, nor indeed any humour. So they were horror movies without horror, comedies without comedy and parodies without any actual parody.
Those things were movies with no identity.

Every 'horror' movie made in the last 15~ years by Hollywood.

There are no more horror movies, just action movies using monsters and more than average gore.

Blair Witch Project. it's probably an obvious choice but that wasn't scary at all. well, at the time it wasn't but when i was in bad that night i thought about the film and it did give me the creeps (i was about 13 at the time)

I just watched Wind Chill. Not purely terrible, but very slow and not scary in the least bit.

The Ring 2. I was sitting there in the theater grabbing the people I was with when the "scary" things happened. I was that bored with the movie. That was the only time I had ever seen the movie too!

Pretty much any of them. Jacob's Ladder was pretty scary, but that's really it. Hell Raiser is my favorite horror movie, but it wasn't scary.

The real scary movies are movies like Zeitgeist and Kymatica.

Killer Clowns from Outer Space. To this day, I'm convinced that it was more parody than it was genuine horror, but many of my friends maintain otherwise. I guess them having crippling fear of clowns probably has something to do with it.
