Summary Famed film critic Roger Ebert knew how to give a film that failed to live up to expectations its just desserts, especially when it came to horror. One of the most famous and beloved movie reviewers of all time, Roger Ebert clearly didn't have an equal love for all genres, with horror being particularly low on his list of favorites. In particular, he famously disregarded the slasher genre, which he derogatorily referred to as "dead teenager films.
9 13 Ghosts Ebert's rating: 1 star A rare debut film for a director that is also a remake of an old classic, 13 Ghosts is perhaps the lowest-regarded of beloved actor Matthew Lillard's close encounters with the spooky and supernatural. Lillard stars as the resident psychic in a crew of ghost hunters who seek to capture evidence of a fearsome ghost said to be prowling the premises of an ancient mansion.
7 The Devil's Rain Ebert's rating: 1 1/2 stars A supernatural horror story fueled by religious terror with an ensemble cast, it might be surprising to learn that The Devil's Rain was so poorly-received by Roger Eberts. Starring big names like William Shatner and John Travolta, the film follows a close-knit family haunted by their connections to a satanic priest. What follows is an all-out war between the Preston family and the demonic cult following the charismatic Jonathan Corbis.
5 The Deathmaster Ebert's rating: 1 star Roger Ebert prefaced his review of The Deathmaster with a brief history lesson regarding the film's creation. Producer Roger Corman commissioned the film solely to take advantage of actor Robert Quarry's remaining contracted days, painting an ominous picture of the slapdash horror picture's ability to creatively succeed.
