Or is it a bad piece of trash?

Is that an "or" question?
Howard the Duck is a cult movie. And a very, VERY bad piece of trash.

I got to agree with Drew here. In fact some movies' cult reputations are built soley on how eye burningly awful they are.
In short, I'd say it's both.

I almost think of The Doom Generation as cult strictly by its reviling on this here site. So I'd say yes. I'm thinking of the godfather of all cult movies, Rocky Horror. I had a friend who went in drag to a midnight Halloween showing, and he was talking about how amazingly fun the first 15 minutes are . . . but then the energy winds down and you still have 2 hours to go.

I think of cult movies as not necessarily bad, but definitely geared towards a very specific audience. Serenity was a cult film in that non-Whedon fans probably weren't going to go see it. So I don't know, can a movie be cult if it has NO fans? I think there's nothing really redemptive about this movie. It hurt my childhood.
