A few come to mind. Reincarnation Of Peter Proud, Rosemary's Baby (sorry, but it's so sophisticated, it bores me!).

An American Haunting. Suppposedly about the Bell Witch incident, but they turned it into typical Hollywood crap. I was so pissed. :P

And I don't care what anyone says, The Blair Witch Project was THE STUPIDEST movie ever.

blair witch is one of THOSE movies. i remember i saw that in the theater when it came out and i was chewing on the back of the seat in front of me at the end, just, THIS MOVIE IS SO FREAKING WEIRD AND MESSED UP AND AWESOME and right when i'm getting ready to start looking around going, okay, was that just the best damn movie since citizen kane or what? some high school girl behind me says, "huh. was that it? that was totally gay."

anyway, for boring, i'll have to go with the works of ken russell (altered states is the one he did that's something like a straight-up horror movie). man's smart, yes, but damn, dude... PACING! PACING!

the haunting is a very slow-paced horror movie. i actually love it but, like, nothing happens in it.

Blair Witch was pretty bad, no extremely bad.  I never saw the sequel, and don't intend to.  lol

The 2nd movie in the Halloween series, where Mike Myers wasn't even part of it. . .although the H2O version was pretty bad too.  I just couldn't follow the 2nd one those, Halloween 2 put me to sleep, my roomate bought the whole series as a set, and sometimes I watch the 2nd one when I have insomnia. . .the H2O one is so short that you don't care when the people die, the character development is as bad as it gets. . .typical of Horror Movies I know, but for Mike Myers that's just wrong to do to the series.

I'll add The Changeling with George C Scott, and Flowers In The Attic. Both left me sound asleep on the sofa.

Awwww, I liked Flowers In the Attic. The book was better though. ;D

Flowers In the Attic was too weird and depressing of a movie, for me.

Michael Myers was in the 2nd movie. Are you referring to the 3rd one (Season of the Witch)?

The second installment of the Nightmare on Elm Street. It is just pure crap.

Have to agree "An American Haunting" was bad, really bad.

Also "The Wicker Man" starring Nic Cage

American Psycho was awful too

Avtually, I kind of like the third film, yes it's a bit much.  But I pretty much like the film, for Christian Bale's performance.

Wow...I really enjoyed The Wicker Man...I thought it was interesting and unpredictable.
Someone also metioned Rosemary's Baby, which I also thought was good.

Hmmm....boring horror movie. I'll have to go with Hollow Man, The Grudge, and the most BORING horror movie I've EVER seen, Lady In The Water.

The Wicker Man is now a cult classic.

Never saw the original, but Nic Cage's remake was alright, but not one of the better horror films I've seen.

Of course I talk of the original with Edward Woodward. I tend to avoid remakes.
