What is the worst film you ever saw?

[_Lorenzo_]

Definitely one of the worst, most overrated films ever because of, shall we say, Troisi's last appearance...

 

[dropsmegamega]

Solely by objective metrics and excluding "worst film baits" like birdemic?

But my personal worst?

 

[Kobu]

Gummo (1997) directed by Harmony Korine.

It's about some teenagers living in some dingy town in Ohio after a tornado strikes. It's not a horror film or anything but something about it was disturbing and I never want to watch it again.

Most Live Action Transformers come to mind. It's not the sloppy writing but how boring they kinda end up beign despite their loud nature.

I expected a 2 hour epic of Gruesome Robot fights, but 80 percent is taken over by annoying humans and the Transformers are barely in it and leave a lot to be desired (except Hound and Crosshairs, love you guys). Only Age of Extinction and Dark of the Moon barely scrap by and avoid falling into this. I have not seen Bumblebee or RoTB, but i know one of them shall stand and one of them shall fall into this thread.

and now we are getting more of these with Bay back. That's just Prime.

Outside of that i never go out of my way to watch films i know im not gonna like. 2 years ago i bigned every Single Disney animated canon film from Snow White up until Wreck it Ralph, and Home on the Range and Aristocats are so dull it made Chicken Little seem better in comparison. At least that movie is a fun mess.

Probably the Emoji Movie. That was an abysmal idea with abysmal execution.

I decided to watch that in theatres. I thought "it's got Patrick Stewart as the emoji", at least they're gonna have ironic humour, right?

But I was physically uncomfortable in my chair and I doubt I made i lt past 20 minutes. And I love terrible movies, but this one was like all the dumb current tropes in animation distilled to a lethal dose.

Tricked myself into watching it ngl.
There's also rise of skywalker and the emoji movie but there is some enjoyment due to their trashiness.
Mile 22 is anything but enjoyable and the constant shaky cam make me sick.

The only movie I ever walked out of in a theatre was a movie called "The Road to Wellville". I don't remember much except thinking it was boring and dumb.
Of course, I was like 12 at the time so what did I know.

The only movie I ever walked out of in a theatre was a movie called

The Emoji Movie (2017)
Jungle Cruise (2021)
Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)
Renfield (2023)
Flight Risk (2025)

I might be forgetting a few.

 

[DjQuick2008]

human centipede series was pretty grim. i found some parts funny as i survive on dark humour. id certainly love to see my retail bosses being pooped on.

"Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets" and "The Tourist" are the only movies I can remember walking out on. Even if I really hate a movie, I'm usually seeing it with a friend, so I tend to stick it out. I've still seen movies though, that I've wanted to walk out on

Falling asleep, however, is a different story "Batman v Superman" & "Captain America: Brave New World have that distinction"

"Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets"

What the heck? What part did you walk out on?

 

[Jayonnaise6105 Jayonnaise6105]

What the heck? What part did you walk out on?

I was like 7-8 years old and that movie is nearly 3 hours long. Pretty sure I was just bored and asked if we could do something else

 

[leoflannel]

Need I say more?

 

[ozzagrl]

Since we are nearing the holiday season, I might as well give the WORST christmas movie I ever watched!!

YUCK!! my dad made me watch this when i was a little girl and i was wondering the whole time when it was going to get good...

(It never got good)

But like any media forced upon you when you are young, I feel pretty nostalgic thinking of this movie again, maybe I'll rewatch it in december!

EmIn my controversial opinion, Ratatouille

1. The Zombie Diaries

This movie was the most boring thing I have ever experienced. The zombies are quite literally so slow as to be non-threatening. I'm a fan of all zombie types, from slow ghouls to runners and even intelligent revenants, but when your zombies are literally baby-stepping around then they cease to be anything but boring. It's not even funny in a B-movie sense. It's just dumb.

2. Transformers: The Last Knight

This one I actually do find funny in that trashy B-movie way. However, this film had a budget. IIRC, it had the highest budget in any movie at the time. Yet, it makes zero sense plot wise, has characters like Cogman who make me cringe whenever they come on and it even switches from widescreen to full-screen seemingly at random. I mean, what the fuck kind of chaos was going behind the scenes that they couldn't even settle on one aspect ratio for the movie to have? At least Anthony Hopkins found the whole ordeal hilarious and lucrative, and had fun riding the trainwreck to the bank.

3. Birdemic

I laughed entirely too hard at this piece of bird shit. It's just really funny watching characters dodge birds that look like they were added via Windows Movie Maker.

4. Poor Things

This movie is like I Am Sam x Bride of Frankenstein. The fact that it won an Oscar is proof positive that Hollywood is Full Retard, all the way.

5. The Human Centipede

Yeah, whatever combination of fetishes makes one want to make a body horror movie about chain-linking people together so they can shit in each others mouths is the true horror of this film. Also, it's fucking gross.


6. Automaton Transfusion

This one was a huge disappointment for me. With a title like that, I was expecting some truly glorious insanity like transforming car zombies. What I got instead was a generic trashy zombie film. Certainly not the worst B-movie, but with an amazing title like AUTOMATON TRANFUSION it ought to be about turning people into car zombies by giving motor oil transfusions instead of blood.

7. House of 1000 Corpses

I love Rob Zombie, but his first film is truly awful and hard to follow. The highlight is seeing Dwight Schrute turned into a taxidermied merman. At least The Devils Rejects came out of it, and that one is a legitimately good movie.

8. Lift

Okay, c'mon now. I can steal an NFT just by screenshotting it. You did not need to make a heist movie to cash-in on that stupid fad.

9. Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi

How the fuck do you make a worse Star Wars movie than Attack of the Clones? That movie had C-3PO do a Life Alert ad and it's still better than any of the sequels. Special effects and aesthetics will only get you so far, especially when you shit on both diehard series fans expectations and those who just enjoy actually good films. You want to see a recent movie with Mark Hamill that isn't fucking garbage, watch The Long Walk. Shit, watch The Regular Show Movie. Just don't watch this piece of pandershit. It does nothing original, it just repeats the plot of the second movie with a gender swap. It's boring and trite, in other words.

10. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

I hate superheroes in general, but this movie is the worst offender in the genre. It's boring, schlocky and has terrible special effects for the time. I hate it.

Dishonorable Mention:
Battleship (boring aliens and boring plot)

Shazam: Fury of the Gods (I literally had a seizure during this one. It was for reasons mostly unrelated to the movie [mainly stress and lack of sleep], but I was well and truly tired of the superhero movie trend at that point, and I believe that seeing another formulaic pandershit cover the silver screen was what took me over the edge.)

I am a connoisseur of bad movies, my biggest claim to fame was meeting Neil Breen at a convention once and even shaking his hand!

Personally, I tend to avoid watching crap. I was mentally negatively affected by the angry reviewer trend as a autistic tween, and nowadays, if a movie looks bad, I try to stay away lest I end up like the total User with a Bond profile pic who used this thread as a chance to spam f-bombs and trash perfectly good films whilst acting like a total cock. Negativity is not good for mental health, especially when you're impressionable and have a mental condition like me.

But, I did end up watching crap, mostly during my addiction to angry reviewers, and after I moved on. So... To name what I consider the worst...

And Disney's Descendants for non-theatrical releases as an honourable mention.
Stage Fright for being an ungodly abominably unfunny musical comedy masquerading as a slasher flick where the sense of humour is basically bullying the kinds of kids who go to theatre camp (the above poster is really misleading, BTW. The killer doesn't even look like this in the film), X-Men Origins for being a go-to guide on how not to make a prequel and superhero film, and Sucker Punch for introducing the world to what would define Zack Snyder's filmography going forward and being a plodding, self-righteous mess with delusions of grandeur. I simply cannot believe the latter has fans who praise it as an "underrated masterpiece", especially since it's patient zero for Snyder's edgy, horrible, nonsensical storytelling that would proudly be featured in future trainwrecks like Batman v. Superman and Rebel Moon pts. 1 & 2.

Alien Covenant is genuinely one of the only films where I've nearly walked out of the cinema because it was that bad. It's bad enough that it was another unnecessary addition to the "Alien franchise" (Which should of only ever been the first 2 films in my mind), but the film just has nothing going for it. None of the characters are interesting or give you any reason to care about them, I don't care about the story or anything that really happens in that film. It just felt like a desperate attempt to appeal to people who hated Prometheus by trying really hard to channel some sense of nostalgia in people by having a lot of visual references to Alien and Aliens, but instead it just makes me want to watch those films since they're so much better lol.
Ridley Scott really should've gone out on a high note and retired after Kingdom of Heaven because lord knows he's never made a good film since.

DUUUUUUDE Alien Covenant is another film I despise with a passion. The people who shit on Alien 3 because "dey kiled hix and noot" and for being what they consider "miserable and nihilistic" really need to take another look at Covenant, because Covenant is easily the worst non-AVPR entry in the series in my opinion. The whole film is just a terrible, edgy fanfic with a budget that destroys the mystery and mythos of the Aliens and makes everyone around the evil gary stu David thoroughly idiotic just to make sure that he wins. Speaking as a fan of the entire original trilogy, Romulus*, and some of the spin-off media like Isolation and the AVP videogames, it's an infuriating, mean-spirited trip into truths that are thankfully, mostly forgettable.

*ICYW, it's okay if you dislike Romulus. I and many others dig it.
