A Remake of a Rip-Off of a Knock-Off...

Wow two horror films that NEED to be nomianted. This and Molyl Hartley are cinematic trash at its finest. The Happening just being a HUGE dissapointment is also one of the worst films of the year.

So...what were the nominations? I would like to see them. I just hope they don't include The Happening -- although it seems pretty impossible not for it to be up for several, since 95% of the world seems to downright hate it. The scary thing is that the movie reveals the dark sides of people. Something about killing M. Night or something...whatever. I just have to come out and say it's one of the most misunderstood movies ever created. Note: EVER! It's very unfair...

Reread.

Originally posted by Michaels I got my voting ballot yesterday, and I was amazed that this movie was nowhere to be found on it. Go figure.

Really? I, who am accused of liking 99.9% of films I see, absolutely hated this film...I really did...I did. It's one of the worst films ever created! WHY WASN'T IT ON THE EFFING BALLOT?!!!!!! WHY?! 

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Geez, if you're that upset, you can alwaze write it in all over your ballot.

As I am forced to explain every year: Even we cannot RAZZ Every Bad Movie. Having been released almost an entire year ago (and being seen by almost no one) ONE MISSED CALL simply didn't make our final cut.

If it makes you any happier, it was under consideration for a "special category" for Worst American Remake of a Foreign Film -- but there were not enough contenders to make such a category competitive, and in the end, the category was dropped...

 

While The Eye wasn't exactly memorable, I don't think it can compare with some of the other "horror" movies made this year. Compared to The Happening, Prom Night, and One Missed Call, The Eye seems
like The Excorcist.

Originally posted by Michaels "The Happening" has a better chance of winning a "Worst Excuse For A Horror Movie" award because for the most part, it produced more laughs than it did screams. With so many contenders like "Prom Night", "One Missed Call", "The Eye", etc., there should also be a Worst Horror Movie Remake category, or else the Worst Remake/Sequel catagory could be overfull...

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: For 2008, due to there being too few truly sucky prequels or sequels this year, we will be rolling Worst Prequel/Remake/Rip-Off or Sequel into a single category...

I actually compared the remake to the original (unlike some of the guys on IMDb).  I found three major differences: The first difference (and probably the most apparent) was that they made the ringtone shorter and more innocent (that's one bad way to avoid plagiarism).  The second difference was that *SPOILER* one victim in the remake was impaled by a flying piece of rebar, while his counterpart in the original was pulled down an elevator shaft *END SPOILER*.  As for the third difference, well let's just say the ending was badly twisted (there's too much detail to go into). 

This is a likely nominee for Worst Remake/Ripoff (behind Disaster Movie and Meet the Spartans) and Worst Excuse for a Horror Movie, though The Happening might win in a landslide...
