    5 best horror films that flopped

    These are the movies that flopped at box office. And I agree with couple of films on this list from MSN:

    Not in any particular order:

    Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994): This movie does something astonishing: it makes us fear and hate Fred Kruger for perhaps the first time.


    Event Horizon(1997): The horrifying imagery, meant to antagonize the boarders with their darkest fears and most guilt-ridden moments, creates a genuine sense of discomforting dread.


    Frailty(2001): This emotionally-wrenching and uncommonly disturbing chiller comes from director Bill Paxton, who stars as a normal single father of two young boys.


    The Mist (2007):A Stephen King adaptation, its insanely grim spine-tingler that explicitly condemns human paranoia and religious-fueled mania,


    Saw VI(2007): The sixth "Saw" film inexplicably turned out to be the best entry in the long-running series, but it ended up as the lowest-grossing film in the seven-film franchise.

    I've only seen the Mist and Event Horizon, I thought they were bad movies that should flop. They should have stopped with the first Elm Street movie, it was good.

    Well I can think of more deserving movies to be on that list, House of 100 corpses comes to mind.

    For it's day I think Alien was pretty big, and The Shining is like a cultural classic, are you kidding, so many lines in that movie became catch phrases.....

    I think some of you missed the "that flopped" part. I have to heartily agree with Frailty, it was a great film that most people never saw. I thought The Mist was OK, but Event Horizon was a huge disappointment for me. The first Saw was enough for me, never watched another one.
