I didn't see The Gallows for the same reason that I didn't see the other horror films that you mentioned in the "bad" list Grim. I check http://www.rottentomatoes.com/ before I go to see any movie these days. The setup for this website is simple. It tells you how many critics liked the movie based on a percentage. Movies with higher percentages tend to be better, such as Inside Out (98% of Critics liked it), which I ended up loving. The Gallows managed a pathetic 14%, so naturally, I avoided it like the plague.

I will say this about The Babadook. While I enjoyed it, and the characters were quite good, the little kid in this movie annoyed me to near insanity. He just wouldn't shut up, and I literally bit my lip so hard at one point when he was screaming incessantly in the car, that I almost drew blood.

As for the worst horror movie I have ever seen... that's a difficult choice to make, especially with so many terrible horror films out there. But there is one that immediately comes to mind...

Camp Blood.

I can't even begin with this movie. There are so many bad things about it that it's ridiculous. Its not even so bad its good (like Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive) It's just very boring and tedious to watch. Not to mention the fact that it was made on a budget of about fifty dollars (seriously, I'm not kidding), and it was filmed on a camcorder. The acting is lazy, the direction is lazy, the dialogue is idiotic and it's just atrocious as a whole. Even if this movie did have a big budget it would still be horrendous. Why? Because its a cliched and inconsistent mess of a slasher film.

Okay, rant over. But seriously, don't even waste your time looking this movie up.
