I rented it for $2.50 when it first came out and until this day I regret it. So glad you destroyed it one less copy to infect the world

Re: What "blind buy" do you most regret?



The cover art looks pretty badass and the back cover boasts that the movie is a great zombie film.

It's actually 3 stories about:
Spoiler:
The antichrist, Vampires that don't bite people and go out in daylight, and a killer computer. The zombies appear in the film for about 5 minutes. It's also very poorly written, directed and acted. One of the few films I've seen where the director went on IMDB afterwards to try and convince people its a good movie.




Again, just very badly acted and written. Also (like Edges of Darkness) they plastered on the cover that its one of the best zombie films in decades. The only real thing saving this movie is the scene where
Spoiler:
a zombie rips the fetus out of a pregnant woman and bites into it like an apple.
Probably worst of all, this thing was released on DVD in '08, and its Non-Anamoprhic.

Edit: I just saw scott mentioned Wrong Turn 3, that'd be another one. I bought it because I enjoyed the first one and loved the second one. Ended up the third one was a mess.

I love this movie, but I pay good $$$ thinking it would have lots of bonus features. It was practically bare bones.
I fortunately picked this up cheap and I agree about the bonus features BUT at least it was anamorphic!

Re: What "blind buy" do you most regret?

I'd say:

Crank
Superbad
Daredevil

There are probably others, but those are sticking out in my mind right now.

or

Terrible. I think the former might have been my final blind buy as of a couple of years ago, that's how foolish I felt to have made the purchase. On the positive side, that probably saved me a few other bad buys.

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman The First Season (even at $3 from Big Lots)

I can't even sell this on ebay for a dollar, which is also it's trade-in value.

Re: What "blind buy" do you most regret?

I am amazed at some of these choices but... here are mine:
Pineapple Express, Hangover, There Will Be Blood, and most anything
Troma distributes but did not make themselves.

The Comebacks. I thought this would be really funny.....I knew it was a spoof movie, but it was just horrible.

Rose Red is awesome. Maybe not as utterly creepy as, say, Event Horizon, but still very cool. If you were talking about Watchmen or Transformers, I could understand.

Oh, how could I have forgotten about "Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter"? Now, that was bad.

Re: What "blind buy" do you most regret?

Mine are kinda obscure.

"Beyond the Wall of Sleep". I'm a Lovecraft fan, the cover looked cool, and it was $12. But Jesus christ. Talk about a community theater production.

"Dead Birds". I was looking for a decent non-slasher horror movie. And it got a decent review here on DVD Talk.

"Don't Leave Me Alone Daisy" The main reason I never again buy dvd's completely blind. I was looking for a new anime series to buy and the cover shots made it look fun and cute, and it was the complete series. So why not? Mother of God, that was the single most offensive show I've ever witnessed. No sex or anythign dirty, just the concept that some delusional nerd actively stalking some hapless HS girl while her friends thought it was cute just made my skin crawl. I think I got $12 when I sold it.
