10 Horror Movie Reveals So Bad You Almost Walked Out

1999's House on Haunted Hill remake has a solid cast and some genuinely excellent production elements, which apparently left nothing for the climax, as it settles for an abject eyesore of a final monster.

The ending sees the remaining characters fleeing from a shape-shifting creature comprised of all the spirits in the house. Not a bad idea in theory, yet the VFX-based end result is ultimately horrifying in all the wrong ways.

An amorphous digital blob that's not in any way scary, the creature's final form shoots for abstract but feels more SyFy than anything. Even accepting the film's age, critics and audiences alike dinged it for its god-awful VFX at the time of its release - and they were absolutely right.

For a movie that otherwise had a keen sense of style and atmosphere, this brought all of its moody momentum slamming to a dead stop.
