In general most films which are put to one side and are called 'BAD' films are mainly called this because of there content.
Films which are 'Bad' come under different typed of film genre's, from Horror to Gore-fest. Recent films like Hostle, Saw, House of a 1000 Corpses are films which have a high content of visceral violence.
This film poster for Hostel (2005) is shocking enough which the drill being put down someones throat

This is done typically to shock the audience, to some people this can be too much and in some cases make people leave the cinema because it is too much. Back in the 70s when the Exorcist (1974) came out in the cinema's it was a film that shocked lots of people around the world because of what happened to girl.
Even a film like Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979) shock people because of the way it depicted the story of Jesus, the church didn't like it that they was joking about the bible.
Altogether films which are from these genre's are made so that they get across a message to people. Sometimes they are made in a way which will shock us into realising it, but in some cases films can go a bit too far and go beyond being a film and just being something distasteful.
