10 Horror Movies That Actually Benefitted From Bad Acting

10. Halloween: Resurrection

Halloween: Resurrection is infamous for nearly ending the franchise after the goodwill of Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later by killing Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode in its opening. The movie is considered one of the worst in the series but features one silver lining in the form of Busta Rhymes' Freddie Harris.

Though casting an established musician usually ends up in disaster, Rhymes' out-of-place nature ends up benefitting Resurrection in comparison to his castmates who tried to take the film seriously. We get insane sequences where the rapper spews profanities at Michael Myers and where the two of them wear the same costume. He even busts out some kung-fu moves and proceeds to lay a beatdown on the iconic slasher.

Adding insult to injury, Freddie delivers the killing blow on Michael by jamming an electric cord into Myers' crotch. In a franchise with memorable characters like Laurie Strode, Dr. Loomis, and Jamie Lloyd, it took Busta Rhymes to finish The Shape off for good.

While Resurrection's other actors try to act like they're in a horror movie, Busta is content with playing himself and letting loose. Though his performance is by no means credible, Rhymes' hammy acting becomes the only noteworthy aspect of this franchise-killer.
