Theme: Deliberately Bad Films

Deliberately Bad Films refer to films that make a point of mimicking the style of older, cheesier films and their shortcomings. A substantial focus in these films is on 1950s sf/monster movies. Frequently films parody the bad effects, corny dialogue and cliches and tropes of the genre.

Deliberately Bad Films should also be differentiated from works listed under Films With Deliberately Ridiculous Titles, which are intended to be outrageous, attention grabbing and as absurd as possible, although not all of these are necessarily bad films. Sometimes a Deliberately Bad Film can come with a Deliberately Ridiculous Title or sometimes a ridiculous title may just be a comedy.
