Due to insomnia, I just found myself sitting up watching Dog Soldiers, which has to be one of the crappest films I've ever seen, and a bit misogynistic:

When the oh so inevitable "plot twist" happens and the sole woman in the cast turns into a werewolf, did she really have to utter the line "Sorry, it's that time of the month" ? Really?

Not to mention the bit where:
The dog pulls out the sergeant's intestines like a string of sausages and they manage to patch him back up and he's still going strong several hours later. There's a difference between willing suspension of disbelief, and just being downright ridiculous
.

I have used spoiler tags so as not to ruin this gem of cinema for any who haven't yet endured (oh sorry, I mean "enjoyed" ) it. Any other nominations?
 
Horses for courses though - I'm trying to think of a proper shit film beyond the obvious matrix/star wars/avatar/LOTR obvious type shit without success ATM - Give me a bit to sleep on it and I'll come back with some proper shit films :)
 
If "horses for courses" means that I'm unlikely to find a film that sinks to that level of "oh ho ho we have a woman in the cast so lets make some obvious jokes around that" but the other 49% of the population thinks it hilarious, then sure, go for it - it's horses for courses, of course it is :)

Consensus on the Worst British Filum Of All Time thread (on which you posted!) was that Dog Soldiers might not be a masterwork, but clearly it's not the worst or even one of the worst.

Have to agree - there's many degrees more of awfulness between it and the absolute bottom of the barrel. Some way down there is Unarmed But Dangerous, AKA Kung Fu Flid (which I have mentioned once or twice or thrice or four times before, and which has accrued a number of threads of its own over the years).

There is nothing positive to say about this film.

How long ago did I post on that thread though? It certainly wasn't tonight, or this week, I reckon I only pop up on this particular sub forum once or twice a year when something has either really enthused or riled me in some way, and my memory for film and book plots is poor at best (that's not as bad as it sounds, I can watch a film or read a book and I won't remember until most of the way through that I already saw/read it), so it's highly unlikely that I followed every word on every page of that thread or even recall what I posted, was it recently or several years ago?
 
Yeah actually I've just checked, and my ONLY contribution to that thread was made in late 2013 and consisted of the one post:

"Can you please just stop saying 'filum'? It's really quite annoying."

Posting on a thread is not indicative of tacit agreement with any argument on that thread.
 
Forrest Gump. Whenever I'm feeling too good about the world that brings me back to my misanthropic self.

Dog Soldiers is in finitely better than either "Lesbian Vampire Killers" or "Doghouse"

Al three of those are infinitely better than this:

Although this is one of the more nauseatingly bad cinema offerings of the 20th century:

Dog Soldiers is a great film (comedy-wise)

And I'm not sure the line you quote is sexist tbh, it's said in an arch way by a woman about to tear a bunch of squaddies apart, is it not reclaimation? :D

I saw a film on Movies 4 Men last night that could certainly contend here. It was called Ice Queen.

I should explain that it is about a prehistoric female humanoid found in the Amazon encased in amber. It is put on a plane by scientists but it wakes up and kills the lolot and the plane crashes into a ski resort full of twats. Ice Queen goes on rampage killing by stabbing them with her hand and freezing them from the inside. There are tits.
 
I accidentally watched "My Son John" many years ago. The nice all-American family are scared that their son John has been socializing with communists, Jews, gays and other metropolitan elite types. Luckily, there is a happy ending...

I recall Lifeforce. Sort of a proto-Species* . It starred Patrick Stewart. What a stinker and a blot on his curriculum vitae that was. There was nudity though.


* this one actually was worth it for some of the fuck-death scenes. Although the inclusion of Forrest Whitaker as a goddam empath, yeah that shit concept that nobody liked even when dianna troi did it in a catsuit on star trek, what the fuck were they thinking?
