The Cell (2000), in which we discover that Dennis Quaid is infinitely preferable to Jennifer Lopez…
Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973), in which no money whatsoever was apparently spent on anything…
The Ordeal (2004), in which Belgian rednecks are every bit as psychotic as the more familar American variety…
Succubus: Hell Bent (2006), which manages to live up to its first syllable, if nothing else…
and…
The Terror of Tiny Town (1938), in which an all-midget cast fails to make a terrible late-30’s Western any more entertaining.

I suppose I’d like Godzilla vs. Megalon more if Godzilla had more to do before the final 15 minutes. Criticize Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster all you wish, but at least he had about 40 minutes to do stuff, rather than only 15 minutes at the film’s climax.

“Rarely have dead or suffering bodies been made to look so abstractly beautiful.”
Just in relation to this comment, I was wondering if you’ve seen Perfume. It wasn’t that great, but I did keep getting struck by how uncomfortably beautiful all the dead girls looked. It was especially weird in the instance of Rachel Hurd-Wood, where I’d spent half the film going “Hey! The girl from Peter Pan is all grown up!”

No. I’m pretty sure this is the first I’ve heard of it, actually.
