they were going for screams
and instead got yawns welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten least
scary horror movies for this list we’re
looking at horror films that didn’t
quite deliver in the scare Department
audiences may have been expecting to be
frightened out of their seats in
theaters
I’m missing urinating but we’re treated
to boredom and maybe some unintended
laughs we can’t quite tell if the
filmmakers were going for frightening
Lee unscary or terrifyingly unter fiying
it’s a toss-up what No
number ten Jason X such a waste the most
frightening thing about this movie is
that filmmakers had been milking this
franchise for over 20 years
when this edition came out no shit by
the tenth installment of this cash-grab
series Jason Voorhees has proven himself
immortal what with not being dead after
literally being sent to hell in the
previous film I take it being stabbed
and frozen wasn’t part of your plan this
time he’s in space and he’s still mad
okay screw this game over and we’ve got
to say his murderous wrath seems really
misguided this time especially since
it’s over 400 years in the future
number 9 anaconda anacondas are perfect
English throat Jennifer Lopez Angelina
Jolie’s estranged father and a
bloodthirsty mammoth snake into the
Amazon together and you’ve got a recipe
for either disaster or triumph
unfortunately while we were supposed to
be deathly afraid of the
football-field-sized reptile we ended up
rooting for it to just eat everyone so
the movie would end we’re not leaving if
it was you out there you want us to stay
– it’s not that we didn’t want to be
scared of it we just weren’t
and that probably had something to do
with the stiff acting and unintentional
laughs it froms
number eight the haunting the only
things haunting us in this film where
it’s abuse of CGI it’s ridiculous horror
cliches and Owen Wilson’s persistent
squinty pouty face a remake of the 1963
original the film follows a trio of
insomniacs who sign up for what is
supposed to be a sleep study
I don’t know nothing’s never really
happened to me so I don’t know a reason
to sleep badly unbeknownst to them
they’ve actually signed up to subject
themselves to a bunch of ridiculously
mundane ghost antics what else could it
be a couple of people may have died but
it still seems like these ghosts and
screenwriters phoned it in
number seven resident evil poor bastards
the creepy factor of this incredibly
popular video game franchise didn’t play
as well on the silver screen as it did
on the console
in fact this movie seemed less like an
interpretation of the game and more like
an excuse for us to watch Milla Jovovich
do stuff we needed something concrete
which isn’t all that bad but it’s also
not scary the subjects have the simplest
of mighty functions
perhaps a little memory also it’s got a
strong anti corporate message
corporations like umbrella think they’re
about the law little character
development and math dialogue there’s it
sure you’re gonna be okay
while the gnarly zombie dogs did make a
badass appearance it was really
bittersweet
the movie just should have been about
them
number six thinner Your Honor I object
Stephen King is known for his dark take
on pretty run-of-the-mill things like
cars and hotels
so of course dieting seems like it would
be up for grabs
Billy you are 297 last week after a
portly attorney gets away with a hit and
run he falls victim to a Romany curse
and begins losing weight like a
deflating balloon what you’re worried
about I finally found a diet that works
eat all you want it still knows the way
if none of this sounds particularly
scary you’d be correct in that
assessment the important thing here is
for you to relax it didn’t even try
we’re thinking King originally released
this one under a pseudonym for a reason
don’t make me start on that don’t make
me start take it off for me why you just
number five one missed call that’s not
my ringtone it should have been called
one missed movie for how hard moviegoers
should have skipped this film but I
heard them okay it’s an American remake
of a Japanese original
and aside from lacking charm it manages
to be a horror film with none of the
horror any dead people called we’re not
home there’s a ghost that kills people
after using up their anytime minutes to
play them a recording of their deaths in
the future
that’s your voice Pandey is also
involved but scariness was skipped
entirely not surprisingly this was the
worst reviewed film of 2008
I know you can use the phone by yourself
you’re a big girl
number four jaws the revenge what by the
fourth installment of this killer fish
series the shark has graduated from
attacking innocent swimmers to stalking
and premeditated murder
apparently the shark has been plotting
its revenge against the family of the
sheriff that wronged it all those years
ago after killing one son it follows the
rest of the family to the Bahamas where
it forms a psychic connection with the
sheriff’s widow actually come to think
of it this movie is scary scary bad
number three The Wicker Man
this movie is a bunch of things it’s a
great advertisement for bear costumes it
gets kids interested in beekeeping and
it’s a paycheck for Nic Cage sorry I’m
Edward maelys from California I’m a
policeman see my badge it’s also
absurdly and unintentionally hilarious
now why in the hell would you let them
do a sick thing like that
that’s scary no not even close yeah I
suppose the most frightening element of
this film is its convoluted plot lines I
mean come on summers Isle where the hell
is that
and we’re being generous it involves
kidnapping neo-pagan ritual sacrifice
and like a parade or something
and for all of NIC cages screaming there
isn’t even the slightest whiff of honey
scented terror
number two the happening
it’s really difficult to Manic Pixie
dream girl your way through a horror
movie but where there’s a will no
additionnal will find a way I’m sorry in
this M night Shyamalan clunker listen we
just want to vote for a little girl you
pussies Deschanel co-stars with Mark
Wahlberg purple man Pi was horny as they
struggle to figure out why everyone is
dropping dead around them are you
choking and it’s probably the least
terrifying excuse for a horror movie
ever and the most terrifying weak reason
for mass suicide you’d ever hear short
answer the plants did it something in
this field could be releasing the
chemical into the air when there’s too
many of us together before we unveil our
top pick here are a few honorable or in
this case dishonorable mentions
I’m not going to eat me
that’s number one
leprechaun see that the buckle zombie
shoes why Ivan leprechaun back before
Jennifer Aniston landed a role on a
quintessentially 90s sitcom she was
battling a vicious leprechaun looking
for his lucky pot of gold we’re hoping
the filmmakers were going for
over-the-top ridiculous
instead of bone-chilling scares because
watching a little person dressed as a
leprechaun chasing a car while riding a
tricycle isn’t exactly scary in fact the
whole movie is like the antithesis of
scary
and the trend only continues in the
sequels as the Leprechaun moves his
shenanigans to the hood I’m here to
claim me golden shillings no give them
back or there might be killings you
tried to rob Jackie B do you agree with
our list the audience who’s never wrong
what do you think is the least scary
horror movie get me out of here drew

entertaining top 10s published every day
