WORST REVIEWED FILMS
| Rating | T-Meter | Title | Year | Add Date (default) |
|---|---|---|---|
|
| Captivity (2007) | Captivity the movie has been thoroughly eclipsed by Captivity the marketing. New York Times |
|
| Eternal (2005) | " Lush, lurid and completely besotted with itself, Eternal is one of those movies normally found slinking around the ether of late-night cable television." New York Times |
|
| Steam (2009) | " So cheesy and so poorly acted that it should never have seen the light of day." New York Times |
|
| Black Christmas (2006) | Glen Morgan's disastrous remake smothers terror beneath a blanket of unnecessary information, revealing too much and teasing too little. New York Times |
|
| Saw III (2006) | Saw III, with its barrage of grungy rooms, mortified flesh and elaborate torture, is a highly creative exercise in bloodletting, with a bleak view of human nature. New York Times |
|
| Unpleasant, uncouth and painfully unfunny, Larry the Cable Guy attempts lowbrow humor with neither the wit of the Farrelly brothers nor the raunchy inventiveness of Keenen Ivory Wayans. New York Times | |
|
| Wicker Park (2004) | " It’s a sad day indeed when a movie’s most memorable performance belongs to Scooby Doo’s Matthew Lillard." Las Vegas Mercury |
|
| " Inept, immature and terminally irritating, Mo is the kind of persistent clown who only responds to a slap in the kisser; would that the film were as easy to banish." New York Times | |
|
| Stan Helsing (2009) | By the time we reach the climactic karaoke smackdown, we have learned more about Freddy Krueger’s personal hygiene challenges -- and how to make a shockingly bad movie -- than we ever wanted to know. New York Times |
|
| Gamer (2009) | " In the press materials Mr. Butler informs us enthusiastically that the movie “has all the hallmarks of Neveldine’s and Taylor’s sick, yet genius minds.” At least he’s half right." New York Times |
| N/A | House of Numbers (2009) | Trafficking in irresponsible inferences and unsupported conclusions, the filmmaker Brent Leung offers himself as suave docent through a globe-trotting pseudo-investigation that should raise the hackles of anyone with even a glancing knowledge of the basic New York Times |
|
| The Final Destination (2009) | " Since not even 3-D can put your eyes out, our only hope is that this time, the title is a promise and not a tease." New York Times |
|
| The Collector (2009) | " One of the more doltish entries in the torture subgenre." New York Times |
|
| Blood: The Last Vampire (2009) | " Suffers from abusive close-ups, repetitive fight sequences and uninspired demon design." New York Times |
|
| Crank High Voltage (2009) | " Crank: High Voltage, starring Jason Statham as a man with a machine instead of a heart, is boorish, bigoted and borderline pornographic." New York Times |
|
| The House of Adam (2008) | Had Jorge Ameer, the writer and director of The House of Adam, aimed for high-flying camp instead of low-rent earnestness, his movie might have stood a chance. New York Times |
|
| " How atrocious is the comedy Everybody Wants to Be Italian? Let me count the ways." New York Times | |
|
| One of the sleaziest documentaries to arrive in a very long time, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is a conspiracy-theory rant masquerading as investigative inquiry. New York Times | |
|
| Prom Night (2008) | For a film about erotomania, Prom Night is a curiously flaccid affair. New York Times |
|
| College Road Trip (2008) | Eyes popping and mouths agape, Martin Lawrence and Raven-Symoné mug their way through College Road Trip as if it were a silent movie -- which, come to think of it, would have been a lot less irritating. New York Times |
|
| The Hottie & the Nottie (2008) | Custom designed for its smirking star (who is also an executive producer), this tasteless train wreck asks only that she preen and prance on cue. New York Times |
|
| Meet the Spartans (2008) | " Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the team behind Meet the Spartans, prove that ridiculing other movies is much easier than making your own." New York Times |
|
| Not even the august presence of Maximilian Schell can dispel the odor of fusty smut that clings to House of the Sleeping Beauties. New York Times | |
|
| Awake (2007) | " Awake is filled with risible medical behavior (the sterility of the operating room is repeatedly compromised) and a horizontal Mr. Christensen screaming variations on "Oh no, I can feel that!"" New York Times |
|
| Saw IV (2007) | Over the course of [its] sequels, the Saw franchise took a novel, if distasteful, idea and basically tortured it to death. New York Times |
|
| O Jerusalem (2007) | It's not easy to turn one of the most controversial events of the 20th century into a movie that makes your eyes roll, but O Jerusalem does this and worse. New York Times |
|
| Skinwalkers (2007) | Yawningly directed by Jim Isaac, Skinwalkers is a slavering mess that buries its clunky addiction metaphor beneath a welter of genre clichés, all delivered in extra-slow motion. New York Times |
|
| I Know Who Killed Me (2007) | Pretentious and inane, I Know Who Killed Me arouses unexpected sympathy for its embattled star. New York Times |
|
| The Condemned (2007) | The Condemned is tailor-made for those who like their violence multifaceted and their women monosyllabic. New York Times |
|
| The Tiger and the Snow (2006) | Roberto Benigni's film is a scorching affront to Italians, Iraqis and the intelligence of movie audiences everywhere. New York Times |
|
| Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds (2006) | A Rubik's Cube of shifting sexual orientation and elaborate sex fantasies, Sloppy Seconds gathers all the accouterments of soft pornography ... into a plot of stunning imbecility. New York Times |
|
| Employee of the Month (2006) | Directed by Greg Coolidge with the flair of a training video, Employee of the Month turns work into a game and love into a sporting event. New York Times |
|
| Checking Out (2006) | Only Laura San Giacomo, as Morris's lonely daughter, Flo, transcends the staginess of the premise and the creakiness of Richard Marcus's screenplay to deliver a performance that feels remotely natural. New York Times |
|
| Zoom (2006) | Too infantile for tweens and too stagnant for tots, Zoom bleeds boredom from every frame. New York Times |
|
| Psychopathia Sexualis (2006) | Not even necrophilia and the imaginative deployment of leeches can relieve this exercise in unrelenting dullness. New York Times |
|
| See No Evil (2006) | ... the appropriately named Mr. Dark has no use for actors as anything other than body-bag fillers. New York Times |
|
| RevoLOUtion (2006) | Not even a grumpy cameo by Burt Young and some lovely shots of the Brooklyn Bridge can save a movie as punch-drunk as its benighted protagonist. New York Times |
|
| Ultraviolet (2006) | Ultraviolet cleaves faithfully to its comic-book genealogy with a plot unobstructed by big words and images that rarely breach two dimensions. Ultrasilly. New York Times |
|
| Underworld: Evolution (2006) | With leads who strain to manage one facial expression between them, and a cinematographer shooting everything through the same steel-blue filter, Underworld: Evolution is a monotonous barrage of computer-generated fur and fangs. New York Times |
|
| Ethan Mao (2005) | " Even allowing for the burdens of low-budget filmmaking, Ethan Mao is little more than a revenge fantasy for anyone whose parents ever gave him or her a hard time." New York Times |
