Just Terrible

A scene from one of the greatest worst movies Ive ever seen

       Why is it that people make such bad movies and is there actually some kind of art to it? If you watch the Syfi channel you probably know what I mean when I say terrible movies. These movies are so bad that theres no way the director and producer were trying to make an actual good movie, right? The one thing this is interesting about these movies though is that in being so bad they become somewhat popular and actually make money. For an example, the movie Sharktopus is about a shark octopus hybrid that was made for the military, but breaks free and terrorizes beaches. I don't know if you have seen or heard of it but I know quite a bit of people that have watched and enjoyed it. Now I'm not going to lie, I do somewhat enjoy watching these movies just to get some laughs too, because I sometimes find them more funny than actual comedy movies, but is this something that anyone could do, or is there actually some talent in making these? In my opinion it doesn't really take much work to make a movie like this. As long as you have a core group of bad actors, fake special effect, and a ridicules story line. Another thought I get is if this would be considered selling out on the directors part? I guess it just depends on if the guy who made this really loves making terrible films or if he just knows that people are going to watch it because of the crazy titles and cheap laughs. I like to believe that he just likes to make people laugh with awfulness. Especially since the producer of Sharktopus has also produced over 50 other movies just like this one.
