Midnite Media Netflix Challenge!

Some time ago, Carl over at the badass I Like Horror Movies blog posted the cover art to a horror movie called Crippled Creek, calling it out for its absolute lameness (see the original post here). I, too, had seen this movie available for rental and was put off by its sheer laziness, but when Carl vocalized my thoughts, I took it as something of a challenge. I forced myself to sit down and watch this little bastard against all better judgment (see my review here). And now, something like four months later, the idea struck me.

THE MIDNITE MEDIA NETFLIX CHALLENGE.

Do you know of a genre film that is so unimaginably bad you don't think I'll be able to sit through it? Or one whose cover art has irrevocably turned you off, and yet you're still morbidly curious? That's where I (and this challenge) come in.

Comment on this post with the title (and a link, if possible) to said movie, and I will watch it at my earliest convenience. If I am unable to get through it, congratulations, you beat the challenge. Hell, you may even get a Marvel Comics-style No-Prize.

The only rules are as follows:

1) It has to be a horror film, or at least belong to a genre that may be of interest to horror fans. No romantic comedies, please and thank you.
2) It can't be a film that I have already reviewed, so be sure to check the listing to the right.
3) This is the big one: It has to be available to Watch Instantly on Netflix. Sorry, hipsters, but this is setting me up to watch some pretty damn terrible flicks, and I'm not willing to sacrifice my rental slots.

And that's about it. Let the suggestions roll in, and I'll swing by your blog (if you have one) and let you know when the movie has been reviewed.

It's Man Vs. Movie. May the best one win.
