11 Terrible Movies That Amuse the Heck Out of Us

There was a time when the scariest image to be put on to film was a train pulling into a station. In the century since then, cinema has come a long way, and the things that terrify audiences have come just as far. This century in particular has seen a marked shift in horror cinema. Mid-century classics like Psycho and Halloween explored the raw and simple terror of the boogeyman. The 80s and 90s reveled in gratuitous gore that audiences ate up.

When it comes to classic holiday movies, it's a safe bet that Planes, Trains & Automobiles is at the top of the list. The funny, feel-good Thanksgiving movie was written, produced, and directed by the extraordinary John Hughes, and stars Steve Martin and John Candy. Unlike his well-known teenage comedies such as The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Hughes breaks away from trademark teen dramas by telling a comedic, heartwarming story about a marketing executive and a shower curtain ring salesman, who are unexpectedly stuck together after travel mishaps force them on a three-day journey back home. The critically acclaimed '80s movie is arguably one of Hughes's career-best works, and its ending says it all. For Planes, Trains & Automobiles, however, its impactful yet golden ending was the reverse of what the director originally envisioned.

They tend to be a characteristic trope of horror movies, almost all of which feature some big reveal at the end, which throws a wrench in the formula and helps the movie stand out amongst others. But like any movie genre, not all plot twists are created equal, and there are some truly abysmal ones in the world of horror.
