These movies are truly awful and they come out with one after another. Has anyone ever watched one the whole way through? Out of the hundreds made over the years, is there even one good one? BTW, I am not talking about some of the miniseries Syfy has done which can be pretty good. I am talking about those craptacular movies that come on Saturday night.

I was watching one where a T Rex skeleton was running around. WTF? I said CGI would ruin the industry. You just get ridiculous special effects and a chimp on a type writer banging out a script.
Even the new " The Thing" was sorely lacking. The CGI weren't really that good and everything else was lacking.

They're like a car wreck. You know you shouldn't look, but you can't help yourself.

I'm pretty sure a lot of them are meant to be cheesy.

The DUNE movies from several years ago were okay. Not great, but okay.

I think they're made to be bad on purpose.

Megafault was pretty cheesy - but really funny!

I saw one once with Lorenzo Lamas as a SEAL team leader trapped on an island with like giant killer lizards or something. Granted Lorenzo Lamas might not be the best actor around but that particular movie was bearable for me only because I like Lorenzo Lamas, he has a kind of over the top yet subdued acting style that I like

A number are but "good" is subjective. But they tend to be earlier ones as low-budget quality started declining a few years ago.

Wyvern received fairly good reviews and is one of the more recent ones.


I was a SciFi channel junkie a few years ago with a number of friends. Great time to have a pizza party and laugh at the films. Alcholol consumption helped as well.
