10 Terrible Horror Movies That Are Actually Awesome

10. Bite (2015)

In the vein of many earlier instalments in the body horror subgenre, Bite follows an unsuspecting woman who's bitten by an unknown insect whilst on holiday, and slowly transforms into a twisted monster with no humanity.

Poorly acted and unfortunately dampened by some questionable dialogue and one-dimensional characters, Bite's first act leaves little to be desired, but the film eventually works brutally well as a sickening vision of bodily decay, revenge, and skin-crawling horror.

As Casey (Elma Begovic) succumbs to her condition -- which is never explained, making it all the more unsettling -- Bite's use of gore, effective make-up effects, and claustrophobia easily overshadows the film's obvious twists, dull performances, and clichéd finale.

It's not high art, but as far as distressing, shock-value body horrors go, it makes for genuinely fantastic escapism.
