Keyser's 50 Worst Directors - 2023 Edition

Tools    





Like my last thread for the best directors, this one's going to handle my 40 worst directors as of December 31, 2023. This list will go from 50 to 1, as I didn't have enough for a bottom 100 just yet, not the way the rules go at least.

50. Obi Emelonye

His movie Last Flight to Abuja was the first movie I saw on my short-lived Nigerian films kick, and to be honest, I hated it. The guy needs some real practice before he can make something truly worth watching. He's in the same class as some of the better B-movie directors I've seen and that's about it.

Bottom 3:

Last Flight to Abuja (11), Onye Ozi (37), The Mirror Boy (53)

AVERAGE SCORE: 33.66 / 3

49. John Carl Bleucher

Bleucher's Troll might've been an enjoyably bad movie, but his other two movies I've seen are lame and unoriginal sequels. I've barely scraped his surface, though.

Bottom 3:

Ghoulies III (7), Friday the 13th VII (29), Troll (64)

AVERAGE SCORE: 33.33 / 3

48. James Eaves

Eaves sometimes touches up on fairly interesting topics, but his delivery ruins almost anything he touches.

Bottom 3:

The Witches Hammer (12), Hellbreeder (31), Bane (56)

AVERAGE SCORE: 33 / 3

47. David Worth

David Worth isn't... ahem, worthless, but he feels like that kind of guy you only get for a quick cash grab. You can see in his movies that he's trying to be a decent director, but his skills barely take him that far. On top of that, he usually directs crappy stories.

Top 4:

Warrior of the Lost World (17), Shark Attack 3 (31), Shark Attack 2 (33), Kickboxer (51)

AVERAGE SCORE: 33 / 4

46. Ray Kellogg

Ray Kellogg only ever directed 3 movies. It's a shame that he didn't do more movies like the decent and touching My Dog Buddy, because his two horror movies really sucked. He had no idea how to make horror enjoyable.

Killer Shrews (4), Giant Gila Monster (27), My Dog Buddy (67)

AVERAGE SCORE: 32.66 / 3



45. John "Bud" Cardos

Cardos didn't direct many films, obviously because he never fleshed out any ability to deliver a decent movie. Sure, Night Shadows might've been pretty effing scary, but its story really sucked, which seems to be a common trait of his movies.

Bottom 3:

Outlaw of Gor (13), Kingdom of the Spiders (32), Night Shadows (52)

AVERAGE SCORE: 32.33 / 3

44. Jeff Burr

Burr made his socalled bones with bad sequels. Otherwise, his movies aren't even worth mentioning as they're either bad or boring or both.

Bottom 5:

Puppet Master 5 (16), Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 (18), Straight Into Darkness (39), Pumpkinhead 2 (40), Puppet Master 4 (42)

AVERAGE SCORE: 31 / 5

43. David Bradley

The problem with Bradley's movies is that they don't really spend any time fleshing out anything good they might have. So whatever might be enjoyed by his movies is overcome by corniness. The movies of his I've seen have SOME value, but not enough to make up for all the mistakes.

Bottom 3:

They Saved Hitler's Brain (24.5), 12 to the Moon (33), The Madmen of Mandoras (34)

AVERAGE SCORE: 30.5 / 3

42. Bob Misiorowski

This guy really wants to be the next big action director, but he never gets a lucky break. Not only is his direction often subpar (though never really "bad"), but he favors the thrill over logic, which kills more than just the redshirts.

Blink of an Eye (5), Point of Impact (29), On the Border (36), Derailed (37), Shark Attack (46)

AVERAGE SCORE: 30.6 / 5

41. Albert Band

The Band family is like the polar opposite of the Coppola family. Their bones in the film industry are built on low quality. Albert Band's movies are usually just too bad even for enjoyable cheese. That's a shame because I didn't really think of Doctor Mordrid as a bad movie at all, which means there's talent he's forsaken.

Bottom 5:

Ghoulies 2 (16), Prehysteria 2 (25), Dracula's Dog (27), Prehysteria (28), Hercules and the Princess of Troy (47)

AVERAGE SCORE: 28.6 / 5



40. Phillip J. Roth

Phillip J. Roth was trying to hard to be the next Philip K. Dick. As a huge nerd, he kept trying to make the next big cyberpunk story in a time when it was popular, only to keep failing. You can tell he's not trying to intentionally make B-movies.

Prototype (6), Deep Shock (30), Digital Man (31), Darkdrive (33), Maximum Velocity (42)

AVERAGE SCORE: 28.4 / 5

39. Mark A.Z. Dippe

Ever since Spawn, Dippe has been getting worse and worse. It's gotten to the point where I respect his work so little that I get the Z and D mixed up. Spawn showed a little bit of promise, but Disney Channel Original Movies and comic book cartoons do absolutely nothing for him. In fact, remember when no one liked the original live-action Marmaduke movie? HIS Marmaduke movie is literally a tenth as good as the original: 30 to 3.

Marmaduke (3), Garfield's Pet Force (21), Garfield Gets Real (33), Garfield's Fun Fest (38), Frankenfish (43)

AVERAGE SCORE: 27.6 / 5

38. Darrell Van Citters

Citters is known for directing children's cartoon episodes. Unlike Dippe, Citters is slowly getting better. But his early direct-to-video mockbusters were often really bad and pointless. I watch my share of mockbusters, and these short ones of his were almost Video breinquedo quality. In fact, the fact that his skills are improving with Tom and Jerry videos says something about how bad his early stuff was.

Chop Kick Panda (7), Puss in Boots: A Furry Tail (19), Tappy Toes (29), Tom & Jerry: Cowboy Up! (38), Tom & Jerry: Snowman's Land (44)

AVERAGE SCORE: 27.4 / 5

37. Ed Wood, Jr.

The infamous Ed Wood has some laughably bad stuff, and he also has just plain bad stuff. He never really had an idea of what he was doing and it shows too much, although his B-movie personality and charm keeps a couple of these movies watchable.

Bride of the Monster (5.5), The Sinister Urge (11), Glen or Glenda (36), Night of the Ghouls (39), Plan 9 from Outer Space (42)

AVERAGE SCORE: 26.7 / 5

36. Wych Kaosayananda

This dude is basically another Uwe Boll, expect he hasn't made as many movies. All his movies are really good for is a bunch of action scenes which may or may not have enough logic to keep the excitement up. On top of that, out of the three of his movies I've seen, he couldn't get a decent plot going.

Tekken 2 (11), Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever (24), Zero Tolerance (41)

AVERAGE SCORE: 25.33 / 3



35. Peter Perry, Jr.

This guy did a lot of sex comedies that were supposed to be intentionally low-quality. Unfortunately, the humor was often either just dumb, drawn out or lame. And as a guy who jusdges delivery of everything, including sensuality, this director doesn't even know how to turn people on.

My Tale Is Hot (10), Revenge of the Virgins (22), Kiss Me Quick (42)

AVERAGE SCORE: 24.66 / 3

34. Jim Wynorski

Here we have another director who specializes in sequels because he can't get a break on his own. He's responsible for the worst of the Ghoulies movies, and doesn't have any ability to even come close to the quality of even the worst movies he's provided sequels for.

Ghoulies 4 (4), Bad Bizness (26), Deathstalker II (32), The Return of Swamp Thing (37)

AVERAGE SCORE: 24.75 / 4

33. Richard Rich

I will go through entire series' of bad movies for some cult classics or just fodder for my log. Although these will typically be action series or horror sequels, Richard Rich's Swan Princess movies are one of those series. And boy did he make a lot of stinkers. Only recently did the sequels show any promise, and now the series has ended. Rich has his sharee of decent and OK movies, but the bad movies outweight those.

The Swan Princess 3 (15), The Swan Princess 6 (20), The Swan, Princess Christmas (23), The Swan Princess 2 (33), The Swan Princess 5 (33)

AVERAGE SCORE: 24.8 / 5

32. Bill Rebane

Rebane movies make for perfect MST3K fodder. Just look at some of his titles and you know that he's joining the comedic B-movie hype train. But his movies really aren't that funny despite this.

Monster A Go-Go (0), The Giant Spider Invasion (15), The Game (30), Blood Harvest (33), The Alpha Incident (42)

AVERAGE SCORE: 24 / 5

31. Jeremy Saville

Saville is trying to be a philosopher, but he tackles topics that are either too familiar or too controversial. Even if he has something interesting to say, his movies are often plagued with a bitter vibe.


The Test (13), Loqueesha (17), Law American Style (39)

AVERAGE SCORE: 23 / 3

30. Uwe Boll

If there's one director who's working too hard to be the coolest thing since sunglasses, it's Boll. This guy would rather use fancy camera techniques, excessive gore and needlessly sci-fi subplots than actually focus on a proper moviegoing experience. He hasn't tried to be Spielberg, he's tried to be the next Paul W.S. Anderson. Bloodrayne was easily his attempt at Resident Evil.

House of the Dead (0), Alone in the Dark (6.5), Bloodrayne 2 (26), Bloodrayne (34), Stoic (44)

AVERAGE SCORE: 22.1 / 5

29. David DeCoteau

DeCoteau is mostly active in the Puppet Master series, but he usually doesn't add anything good to it. On top of that, his original stories are even worse, especially considering he had the gall to try a low-budget talking cat movie.

A Talking Cat!?! (0), Creepozoids (22), Retro Puppet Master (23), Puppet Master: Axis of Evil (29), Curse of the Puppet Master (33)

AVERAGE SCORE: 21.4 / 5

28. Fred Olen Ray

Fred Olen Ray has the potential to make fun movies. Unfortunately, he's spending more time trying to put something quick out for enough money to make the next b-movie. He's squandering his talents that he already proved he could use in Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, The Phantom Empire and even a better remake of David DeCoteau's Creepozoids. As a result, he ended up being a worse director based on my experiences.

The Alien Dead (0), Dire Wolf (17), Alienator (18), Glass Trap (31), Evil Toons (34)

AVERAGE SCORE: 21 / 5

27. Edward Finney

Edward Finney was one of those classic directors who joined the western series train. But he was one of the absolute worst of this genre. I mean, the two westerns I've seen of his were so ****ing trope-flooded that I'm not even sure I want to watch another one of his movies.

Silver Stallion (15), King of the Stallions (21), Queen of the Amazons (25)

AVERAGE SCORE: 20.33 / 3

26 and 25. Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg

These guys are obviously big fans of the Zuckers. Unfortunately, they don't have the same healthy knowledge of what makes comedy works. They throw a bunch of jokes together and hope they pan out, but sometimes these jokes are just so stupid that it greatly warrents shutting the movie off. I'll commend them for Kevin Sorbo's yo-mama joke, though.

Disaster Movie (0), Epic Movie (8), Meet the Spartans (24), Superfast! (44)

AVERAGE SCORE: 19 / 4

24. Bert I. Gordon

Bert I. Gordon is like Fred Olen Ray in the sense that he's done decent movies before. But he's so stuck on trying to simply make money off of sci-fi and horror that he ends up being extremely boring at times. Even his own family-oriented adaptation of Food fore the Gods, titled Village of the Giants, is just so intolerable that it's an insult to moviemaking.

Village of the Giants (3), King Dinosaur (17), Earth Vs. the Spider (18), War of the Colossal Beast (27), The Magic Sword (30)

AVERAGE SCORE: 19 / 5

23. Mike Marvin

I'm three Mike Marvin movies in and I'm not sure I want to continue with him. Not only is Hamber the Motion Picture one of the dumbest things I've ever seen, but even his cult classics have very little plot to them and just come across as half-assed.

Hamburger: The Motion Picture (2), Sunstorm (22), The Wraith (31)

AVERAGE SCORE: 18.33 / 3

22. Albert Pyun

Albert Pyun is Full Moon Features resident sci-fi "expert," but his expertise is often extremely tropy or just dumb. Omega Doom was bad enough as an adaptation of Yojimbo, but he completely lost the grip of his only good movie, Nemesis, when he put together the sequels just to show off a sexy bodybuilder. His only solace is that Dustin Ferguson directed the worst Nemesis movie, and not him.

Nemesis 3 (4), Kickboxer 4 (12), Nemesis 2 (23), Omega Doom (23), Adrenalin: Fear the Rush (24)

AVERAGE SCORE: 17 / 5

21. Robert F. Slatzer

Slatzer directed only three movies in his life: two fiction works and a documentary. Both fiction works are extremely boring, totally plotless and deserve to be forgotten. I honestly don't understand how Bigfoot didn't get into MST3K.

Bigfoot (0), The Hellcats (0), No Substitute for Victory (48)

AVERAGE SCORE: 16 / 3



20. John Derek

You know how Paul W.S. Anderson made a lot of movies with his wife, and they were OK? Well, first came John Derek, so if you ever think Paul W.S. Anderson is a bad director, take a look at this guy (spoiler, Anderson's not making it). The cheesiest and dullest romance you can imagine, if you can bring yourself to imagine it, doesn't even begin to describe Derek's writing and direction.

Fantasies (4), Ghosts Can't Do It (15), Bolero (27)

AVERAGE SCORE: 15.33 / 3

19. Tony Zarindast

This guy's pretty much Iran's John Derek. He barely has any idea what he's doing, and he can't hold together a movie plot for ten minutes.

Cat in a Cage (6), Heaven Can Help (14), Werewolf (24)

AVERAGE SCORE: 14.66 / 3

18. Joe D'Amato

And here's the Italian long-lost relative of the Bands. Joe D'Amato had many attempts at artsy horror and mythical peplum, but he didn't really have any skills. usually, whatever was good about his movies is ruined by boring and generic third acts.

The Blade Master (0), Beyond the Darkness (4), Deep Blood (14), Anthropophagous (25), Death Smiles on a Murderer (28)

AVERAGE SCORE: 14.2 / 5

17. Marco Alemar

Alemar is a member of Video Brinquedo, a Brazilian company that makes children's mockbusters. He's directed three movies so far, and each one of them is lacking a coherent plot and decent acting. The best thing about any of his movies is the 4Kids crew dubbing them. I'm not kidding.

BR Futebol (0), Gladiformers (19), Gladiformers 2 (22)

AVERAGE SCORE: 13.66 / 3

16. Camillo Teti

Teti's movies are often really hard to find. I got lucky when someone uploaded Cobra Mission 2 on YouTube. Only once has he been able to come close to impressing me with a fairly thematic thriller, but everything else is extremely drawn out, plotless and thrown together with trope after trope. If not for that one movie, he'd be in the bottom 5 or so.

Yo-Rhad (0), Titanic: The Legend Goes On (0), Cobra Mission 2 (2), The Killer Is Still Among Us (52)

AVERAGE SCORE: 13.5 / 4

15. Tim Kincaid

Apparently, Kincaid was more successful as Joe Gage, a porn director specializing in Yudetamago levels of muscle. Not really gonna review that stuff here, though. I'll just say this. If he's so good, why can't he bring the skills to his few fiction films? Honestly, how boring can this guy get? Apparently, his movie Breeders was remade into a better movie I haven't seen yet.

Robot Holocaust (4), Mutant Hunt (11), Bad Girls Dormitory (13), Breeders (16), Riot on 42nd Street (34)

AVERAGE SCORE: 13.6 / 5

14. Sam Newfield

The sad thing about this is that Newfield has potential. The Black Raven and The lady Confesses were surprisingly decent movies with some storytelling potential. But his worst movies are just so utterly bad, not even comedically so, that it's no wonder this guy made it to MST3K multiple times.

Radar Secret Service (3), White Pongo (7), The Mad Monster (19), Nabonga (22), Lost Continent (26)

AVERAGE SCORE: 13.4 / 5

13. Andy Warhol

This guy might be popular, but he's delusional. He's doing things based on the instant half-assed excuse of "trying something new," but these new things often have severe flaws. If you're gonna put a camera in front of the Empire State Building for eight hours, at least do it when the sky's actually changing. If you're gonna recreate a scene from A Clockwork Orange in your living room, learn how to act.

Vinyl (0),Eat (0), Empire (0.5), Kiss (30), My Hustler (36)

AVERAGE SCORE: 13.3 / 5

12. Brett Piper

Piper's obviously a big fan of Full Moon Features. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the band sense of charm that defined those few good movies of the bands. Brett Piper is another director who makes a B-movie just to get enough movie for the next one.

A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell (1), Bite Me! (4), Arachnia (5), Mutant War (22), Outpost Earth (28)

AVERAGE SCORE: 12 / 5

11. Lewis Schoenbrun

Schoenbrun is trying desperately hard to make hilariously bad B-movies, but he often beats the jokes to death. In the end, we just have another layer of low quality.

The Amazing Bulk (4), Aliens Vs. Avatars (7), Dr. Chopper (22)

AVERAGE SCORE: 11 / 3



I don't think I'd call Warhol a bad filmmaker based on what I've seen of him so far, but his films certainly aren't easy to get through and I'd rather watch a Brakhage, Deren, Snow, Svankmajer, or Anger film any day. I think crumbsroom worded his strengths very well that he's essentially a practical joker who's style is akin to turning a camera on and walking away. It doesn't make for easy watches, but I think his films are exactly what they want to be.

Speaking of which, we still need to force crumbsroom to watch Empire.

Won't happen.


And I wouldn't so much reduce Warhol to a practical joker, even though there is clearly a sense of humor in what he's doing. As well as a bit of trolling and doing the outrageous to simply gain attention. But there is a larger philosophy at work with what he did in both his paintings and his film. He frequently claimed he wanted to be a machine. Wanted to remove the human element from the creative process. Become an element of a society which values mass production above all else. In his paintings, he used his aides to sulk screen images he could reproduce infinitely. And in film, he became the camera by walking away and letting it's eye be his. There is, after all, frequently little editing in his more notorious films.


Obviously this leaves a lot to criticize about the end product, in particular with his films, since (unlike with his art career where he was a master draftsman who turned his back upon his skillset) he actually had no formal training whatsoever in film. So his work here is mostly about ideas, not their formal quality or their adherence to any kind of narrative structure. Basic ideas like what is film, what is time, what is truth and how closely is it related to artifice and how does watching basic human behavior like eating or kissing become altered once it is up on the big screen. What we judge their success by is if his films change how we understand not only art, but the world and human behavior and culture in general. It's an abstract kind of approach to film appreciation, but one that frequently succeeds more than it fails if one doesnt sit in expectation of any of them being a regular movie.


Now do we need a lot of Andy Warhols doing this kind of thing? No. Because he has already kicked the door down with this approach, and his influence has already been absorbed into the culture, in much less confrontational or (some would saying) less boring ways. But as a thinker about what film was and could also be, he's extremely important. There have been few artists as prescient about where culture was heading than Warhol. And just for this alone, the guy was a huge success (and rightfully so)


And none of this is to say some of his movies don't have basic surface pleasures about them. Bike Boy is full of courful characters and funny dialogue and a semi narrative that actually has an arc with thematic meaning.


And Chelsea Girls has moments like this as well.



18. Joe D'Amato

And here's the Italian long-lost relative of the Bands. Joe D'Amato had many attempts at artsy horror and mythical peplum, but he didn't really have any skills. usually, whatever was good about his movies is ruined by boring and generic third acts.

The Blade Master (0), Beyond the Darkness (4), Deep Blood (14), Anthropophagous (25), Death Smiles on a Murderer (28)

AVERAGE SCORE: 14.2 / 5



He deserves enormous praise for his Tarzan movie alone, which to me was an absolute masterpiece.





He deserves enormous praise for his Tarzan movie alone, which to me was an absolute masterpiece.
I didn't even know he's made a Tarzan film, but Anthropophagous is pretty solid 7/10. I don't agree with Albert Pyun being on this list, either.

If you hated D'Amato's presence, you'll hate number 10 even more.

10. Charles Band

As much as I enjoy the occasional Full Moon Feature, and wouldn't mind an FMF variant of Vampire: The Masquerade (not kidding, I want this), Charles Band's problem is that he directs SO MANY B-movies that the cheesy jokes are just totally burnt out. Doctor Mordrid and Trancers had promise, but a plethora of crappy horror-comedy franchises and sequels pretty much ruined any chance of making it to the best directors list, even in the 50-59's. By this point, there's less reason to buy or even see his movies.

Ravenwolf Towers (3), The Alchemist (4), The Gingerdead Man (6.5), Puppet Master: The Legacy (19), Decadent Evil 2 (20)

AVERAGE SCORE: 10.5 / 5

9. Ted V. Mikels

Even as intentional B-movies, Mikels' entire Astro-Zombies series is largely just boring. By the time he did the sequels, there were already so many B-movies like them that anything these sequels accomplished was completely lackluster. I'll admit it worked with The Doll Squad to an extent, but that's about it.

Astro Zombies M4 (2), Mark of the Astro-Zombies (6), Girl in Gold Boots (13), The Astro-Zombies (14), Astro-Zombies M3 (16)

AVERAGE SCORE: 10.2 / 5

8. Larry Buchanan

There ae bery, very few directors as dull and boring as Larry Buchanan. The Eye Creatures took every ******* trope in the b-movie bizz and stuck 'em together with no sense of humor or originality, and this is entirely standard for his movies. In fact, there will even be cases where the monsters have many a couple minutes of screentime.

The Eye Creatures (0), It's Alive (3), The Loch Ness Horror (8), Creature of Destruction (9), Zontar (11)

AVERAGE SCORE: 6.2 / 5

7. Christopher Forbes

Forbes is the polar opposite of Ridley Scott. he makes a million historical movies, but there rarely have ANY value to them. This is because his overused actors generally suck, he constantly reuses backyard sets, and how many times does he have to reboot the SAME stories, like those of Billy the Kid, Jesse James or Wyatt Earp? In fact, let's just not let him touch World War 2 ever again.

The Last Gunslinger (0), Once Upon a Time in Tombstone (2), Billy the Kid: Showdown in Lincoln County (3), Cole Younger and the Black Train (5), Greyhound Attack (6.5)

AVERAGE SCORE: 2.9 / 5

6. Jerry Warren

Jerry Warren has had a few movies on MST3K, and every time his name's been attached, he delivered one of the worst of the worst movies featured on it, even to the point where Mike or Joel and the bots couldn't redeem these movies existences. And why? Because this guy has no sense of character, plot, fears or laughs. There's no enjoyment from the cheese as the cheese is just generally lame special effects with no comedic value, and the actors always look bored.

Face of the Screaming Werewolf (0), Frankenstein Island (0), The Incredible Petrified World (3), The Wild World of Batwoman (4), Teenage Zombies (5)

AVERAGE SCORE: 2.4 / 5

BOTTOM FIVE TOMORROW.



I think D'amato is way, way better than Band. Still, The Alchemist is more like 4/10 than 4/100.

People tend to like it more than I did, but I honestly felt like the only thing original about that movie was the beginning, whereas everything else was drawn-out, predictable, and lacking in plot, chills and magic. It's the kind of story I've seen on Halloween specials. It's a real shame, because he also directed Doctor Mordrid, which I actually liked. Band can do magical, but he needs to focus on it.



5. Michelle Gabriel

One of the major directors in Video Brinquedo, Michelle Gabriel's mockbusters for kids oftentimes have grotesque character designs, constantly reused animations and plots that three-year-olds could write. I can't believe Video Brinquedo lasted as long as it did with her on board.

Ratatoing (0), The Little Panda Fighter (0), What's Up! Balloon to the Rescue (2), Little Bee (4), Little Cars 4 (5)

AVERAGE SCORE: 2.2 / 5

4. Brett Kelly

Brett Kelly has his own production company, but the fact that people pay for HIS b-movies is insulting to B-movie giants like Peter Jackson and those behind. Full Moon Features. He has no sense of B-movie charm. Maybe one laugh will emerge from the horrible SFX of his movies, but oftentimes complete scenes are ruined by either poor direction, bad lighting, bored actors, etc. etc.

Countrycide (0), Black Scarab (0), Rise of the Black Bat (1), Prey for the Beast (3), Hell at My Heels (3)

AVERAGE SCORE: 1.4 / 5

3. Dustin Ferguson

Dustin Ferguson is the lowest of the low when it comes to budget. His movies are usually knockoffs of other movies but built with every possible movie flaw there is. He even managed to make the worst Nemesis sequel. Way to kill a franchise after reviving it.

Nemesis 5 (0), Amityville in the Hood (0), Demon Predator (1), Blood Claws (2), Amityville Clownhouse (2)

AVERAGE SCORE: 1 / 5

2. Barry Mahon

I know it seems unfair to give Mahon two credits for including a movie in the same movie, but Santa and the ice Cream Bunny is eligible and they made cuts to Thumbelina for the middle section, so I'm including it. I suppose this is further proof that the movie should never have been released. On top of that, it's unfair not to give him a directors credit for literally 50 of the 80 minutes of screentime.

Now onto the reasoning. Mahon's movies are nothing but the result of a tired hopeful who never even bothered to learn past the absolute basics. From nudies to kids movies to occasionally more popular brands like a spy movie, this guy's nothing but a joke. He's shoving way too much or using way too little in movies that often have terrible casts.

Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny (0), Rocket Attack U.S.A. (0), Thumbelina (0), Jack and the Beanstalk (4), The Wonderful Land of Oz (17)

AVERAGE SCORE: 4.2 / 5
STAYING SCORE: 0 / 5

1. Jesus Franco

I really don't care if this guy made a couple OK movies in his early days. He ruined his own career and I'm sure he knew it before death. He's done more irredeemable movies than any director I've seen the works of, and he himself even hated his own movies sometimes. He ended his career doing cheap lesbian porn which I refuse to see.

Lust for Frankenstein (0), The Castle of Fu Manchu (0), Oasis of the Zombies (0), Devil Hunter (0), Killer Barbies Vs. Dracula (1)

AVERAGE SCORE: 0.2 / 5
STAYING SCORE: 0



I'm not a fan of Joe D'Amato but he's way too high in this list. He isn't that awful

If other directors make worse movies, which will happen, and his other movies tend to be much better, his position will lower.
