It is only dangerous for your love of the genre. It is rarely even b-movie, campy, funny bad. It is chronic, kill your love of campy, funny B-movies. These are W-Movies. Their star ratings on a scale of 1 to 5 are usually negative -2 or even lower. There are no exceptions. I know each time you hope there will be that one rare gem, but it will not happen.
