Wait a second - let's go back to House of 1,000 Corpses. It's not my opinion that 90% of all the acting is useless and sucks. That's pure fact. And the fact also remains that I have seen better trash than House of 1,000 Corpses in several different movies. If you've seen Deliverance, Nothing but Trouble, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, etc - you've seen everything House has to offer.

Exactly! He's the only one who EVER brings that up. Nobody else cares, because nobody else sees it as a competition like he does. Well, you guys are implying the movie was fun. IT WASN'T fun for me. And there are reasons why. So, I can't say them just because it will upset you guys?

Acting isn't like the Theory of Relativity. You can't prove it as "fact." Acting is like any other art. It's open to INTERPRETATION, you arrogant jacka**!

Same goes for me. I thought each cast member was perfect for their assigned roles and did an awesome job throughout the movie.

The Roles and Writing sucked too. So, I'll cave and say it wasn't the actors faults. That doesn't change the fact that Bill Moseley was completely annoying and actually looked BORED playing his character in that movie.

I thought Bill Moseley was great. In fact I thought he was the best of any actor in the movie.

Why? He looked Bored. When he did those scenes where he preached in front of the cheerleaders and the girl tied up in the attic(?), he acted like "oh, why do I have to always explain to youz girls..." Like everything was a chore. Which to me says that he knew the part he got sucked and the critics would blast the movie. Which most of them did. The ones who can live with themselves after writing a review. And before you go snapping off - Actors care about critics. Even when the studios don't. His eyes were dull and lifeless, his voice was stiff and unenthusiastic, and he walked around as though he were partially asleep.
Sheri Moon Zombie, Sid Haig, and Karen Black were the only actors who put any life into their performances at all. And Sheri got annoying really fast and didn't have a formal act down (which is important to the quality of a movie), Sid's dialogue was predictable and just plain stupid (Stephen King made-for-cable movies are even more eloquent and inspired than the garbage Sid gets here), and Karen's character didn't have anything to do but look Foxy for an older woman.
But of course - that's just what I think. However, why do you think I picked it up?

'Swamp Thing.' Not that it was great, but it's decent enough through the first 70 minutes. The final battle though left MUCH to be desired.

I'm not really contributing this to the list, but - I never liked the ending to Return of the Living Dead (1985). a few of my votes: - Mary Reilly (just the C.G.I. transformation sequence and Hyde's rage moment on Mary over the glass cupboards- the "sudden intensity" felt seriously phony)
- Sleepaway Camp 3 (from the 3-Camper Tie Cabin-Pick scene to the Ambulance scene)
- Bones
- Uzumaki
- The Brood (not that I'd say it's that good a movie)
- City of the Living Dead / Gates of Hell (the last little bit in the foggy morning and the screen splitting scream moment)
- The Bad Seed (from the shot where we see the mother in the hospital to the very end)
- Troll
- Wes Craven's New Nightmare (yeah it's overrated, but I put it down because the Witch's Oven / Historic-Set Lair hurt the movie a lot after the excellent Hospital scene)
- Cat's Eye
- Wolfen (finding out the Native American people were the wolves was extremely disappointing to say the least, I just didn't like it - I would have been happier if the political rabblerousers were the wolves instead - because then, that would better explain killing totally innocent people like that museum projectionist guy and the coroner guy)
- Halloween II
- Basket Case (why did Duane suddenly invest more energy into his jealous rivalry with Belial than he did the fact that Sharon was killed?)
- Zombie (1979)
- Bride of Chucky (way too cliche for such an amazing movie preceding it)
- Q the Winged Serpent (I'm sorry, but I've always been pissed that Jimmy didn't get his money. He was right- if the NYC cops framed him for a crime he didn't commit and he went to prison for it, he deserves at least 1 million bucks! The movie screws him twice! First- with the fact that the Kung Fu guy tells him he's not getting it for some self-righteous reason. Second- with the baby egg that ends up being born in that abandoned building. The only good thing about that ending, actually, is the fact that the Black Detective got killed- he was a real jerk)
there are more, but I'm getting sleepy
