One of the worst films ever made!

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:
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:
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'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.

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.

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.
