    Bad Taste was probably intended as camp, but its humor falls flat even as a parody of the horror genre. It is best viewed as a film strictly for movie makeup and special-effects aficionados.

    As a director Prince doesn't show even a rudimentary sense of visual style, and his acting skills equal what his direction calls for. The whole film plays exactly for what it is, one long essay in ego massaging.

    STAND ALONE is a repulsive, hate-filled effort that blasphemies the true meaning of patriotism.
    • 31 Metascore
    • 0 Critic Score
    An aesthetically contemptible, crassly commercial work.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 0 Critic Score
    A totally inane script designed to cash in on the rollerboogie craze.

    Vile exploitation picture shot cheaply in the Philippines.

    Any attempt to obscure the names of those involved in the making of this fiasco can only be construed as an act of mercy. Troll 2 is really as bad as they come.

    Frustrating, confusing, loud, and offensive, this horribly bad sequel not only continues to ruin the story line and characters so deftly created by John Carpenter in HALLOWEEN (1978), but sets a new standard of stupidity.

  1. Vulgar doesn't begin to describe it: Try one of the foulest, least funny films ever made under the rubric of black comedy.
    • 5 Metascore

    Infantile fantasy reuniting the stars of Grease.
  2. Preposterous, disingenuous, remarkably unfunny and genuinely distasteful.
    • 24 Metascore
    • 0 Critic Score
    Ill-conceived, pathetically realized follow-up to "Saturday Night Fever."
    • 27 Metascore
    • 0 Critic Score
    Pathetic acting and a scattershot plot sink this pitiful attempt by producer Robert Stigwood to turn the landmark Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band into an engaging film.
  3. Is there anything more irritating than an exploitation filmmaker with self-referentiality on the brain?

    This rancid horror film suffers from pretensions of social significance.

    Even Nicholson's presence can't lift this trash to a one-star listing.

    Hooper took the easy path and went for out-and-out gore, rather than making a carefully constructed horror film. The film feels as if Hooper himself has nothing but contempt for the original and went out of his way to tear it down.

    The direction is lackluster, and the film is padded with a number of useless scenes.

    This abysmal "Spider-Man" satire has more in common with the lamentable spate of "Epic" and "Date Movies" than Zucker and Nielsen's truly funny "Naked Gun" series.

    Every aspect of this film is reprehensible. Stallone's character is an empty hulk; the few attempts to provide us with little insights into his character are downright laughable.

    Try as they may, neither the cast nor the filmmakers can cover up the fact that this movie, like Moore's prototype, is a dud.

    The only thing that differentiates this weak offering from a made-for-television feature are Fairchild's nude scenes, which are gratuitously worked in and add nothing to the story.
    • 25 Metascore
    • 0 Critic Score
    The film features a complete absence of plot, character, drama, comedy and acting.

    Bolero must rank as one of the worst major movies ever made. Many awful movies are at least funny in a campy sort of way. Bo and John Derek, however, make films so sincerely bad that they offer nothing in the way of relief.
    • 4 Metascore

    This film doesn't even have the basic narrative coherence of the first two, and it rambles about aimlessly with little humor or action. This is commercial filmmaking at its very worst.
