I'm trying to figure out what makes a "good" bad movie

A remote ski resort is terrorized by prehistoric man eating sharks after an avalanche. Yes really!

I'm been trying to figure out what makes a good bad movie (Sharknado) vs. a bad, bad movie (Avalanche Sharks)? I mean they're both B movies you watch for a laugh in a so-bad-its-good kinda way. They're also both about equal in terms of acting, direction, plot and special effects. Yet somehow Sharknado was fun to watch whereas Avalanche Sharks was just unwatchable.

In the end I made it through about half of this, I mean I had to see a few attacks, but the CGI is poorly (cheaply) done and while this is just a crappy B movie I still wanted a bit of an explanation as to how/why there were sharks living in the snow -they apparently came from space.

I still had fun guessing who gets eaten first and how; the babes getting it in the hot tub, the dude with the snow blower or the girls running from the advancing fin cruising through the snow.

After the initial curiosity wears off though there's not much left. 01.02.14

Trivia

Goofs
A marine biologist says that letting a person freeze to death is a humane way to let someone die but the body generates significant pain in the initial stages of freezing as a warning sign to get out of the cold.

Quotes
Wade: I'm not crazy... I'm a marine. So why don't you just shut up and let me figure out where we're at. Then we'll get you a Band-Aid for your boo-boo.

Alternate versions
The DVD release has additional scenes including: a kid in a hospital hallucinating about a scantily clad nurse to whom he tells the tale of the sharks; further development of the extraterrestrial sharks story; and a sequence of sharks on Mars.
