    worthy of viewing time.

    Not sure..

    But if you asked me a handful of movies that "You cannot believe you're watching this trash late at night but oddly cannot turn away"...

    Clown in a Cornfield
    Babygirl
    Sew Torn
    The Surfer
    Echo Valley

    A better question would be, based on the title alone, why would you think those would be worth watching?

    Next on NetFlix, "Watching Paint Dry.".

    Babygirl.. Kidman seems to always pick roles where she gets
    slapped around and dehumanized. I liked her in the weird
    experimental film Dogville (2003)

    Sew Torn.. sounds good. I like the premise.. 3 choices, and
    all three are explored in the film. Ever see "Run Lola, Run!"
    ???

    The Surfer.. not a fan of Nicholas Cage.

    Echo Valley.. maybe, but it doesn't sound original.

    While reading all through this thread so far I was thinking about "The Substance", which is kinda the same but for Demi Moore.

    Pol Malvinas.

    Islas Malvinas, siempre Argentinas!

    Wow.. Substance is quite different from what I expected. Never
    heard of it. I read the plot. Not sure I want to watch it.
    Body horror is not my thing. But I know someone else that may
    like it and "the message" of body image that it explores. The
    trailer looked interesting.

    Then you definately do not want to watch the 1996 Japanese film called Naked Book!
