Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
0.5/5 2% Meet the Spartans (2008) " Clocking in around 69 minutes total, Meet the Spartans is not a movie. All involved should feel slightly ashamed." — Cinematical
Posted Jan 28, 2008
0.5/5 —— Simple Life 4: 'Til Death Do Us Part () " The fact that small girls line up to meet these soulless shrews makes me weep for the future. Seriously." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Jan 6, 2007
0.5/5 4% Gone Fishin' (1997) " Without question one of the stupidest comedies I've ever seen." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jul 26, 2002
1/5 25% The Wicker Tree (2012) " Almost as terrible as The Wicker Man (1973) is excellent. (Almost.)" — FEARnet
Posted May 2, 2012
1/5 —— Tales of an Ancient Empire (2010) " This is a movie like frozen beef is a burger." — Twitch
Posted Jul 22, 2011
1/5 25% Chain Letter (2010) " Looks it was prepped, shot, and cut in one drunken weekend." — FEARnet
Posted Jan 9, 2011
1/5 21% H2: Halloween II (2009) " There's not a pained expression, a confused sneer or a filthy grimace that Zombie won't linger on for 10 seconds longer than he needs to." — FEARnet
Posted Aug 28, 2009
1/5 8% Prom Night (2008) " Amazingly bad. To call Prom Night a horror movie is to call chewing gum a cheeseburger." — Cinematical
Posted Apr 11, 2008
1/5 28% Adventures of Power (2009) " A pretty agonizing affair." — Cinematical
Posted Jan 28, 2008
1/5 —— In the Spider's Web (2007) " We're treated to some of the most hilariously sloppy CGI work you've ever seen, followed by (get this) rubber spiders dangling from strings! And not just a few of 'em. They're everywhere!" — FEARnet
Posted Nov 29, 2007
1/5 6% Deck the Halls (2006) " When Matthew Broderick and Danny DeVito team up for a comedy that can't even deliver one well-oiled joke, that's a big problem." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Oct 7, 2007
1/5 13% Mr. Woodcock (2007) " Even the lamest comedies out there manage to wring one or two chuckles from yours truly, but this ugly, obnoxious flick couldn't even manage half a smirk." — Cinematical
Posted Sep 15, 2007
1/5 24% Halloween (2007) " Pick the lamest Halloween sequel out there and you've just found a better movie than this one. At this point I'd rather see three new Uwe Boll flicks than anything Rob Zombie has to offer." — FEARnet
Posted Aug 31, 2007
1/5 7% Bratz: The Movie (2007) " Just when you think the agony has subsided and the kids have to go home for supper, a freakin' music video breaks out." — Cinematical
Posted Aug 6, 2007
1/5 9% I Know Who Killed Me (2007) " The most ridiculous film of its sort since the arrival of the equally ridiculous Boxing Helena. (Yeah, it's that kind of bad.)" — FEARnet
Posted Jul 29, 2007
1/5 5% Delta Farce (2007) " A salad bar of misogyny, homophobia and hatred for all things that aren't A) American, B) male, and C) stupid." — Cinematical
Posted May 13, 2007
1/5 2% Kickin' It Old Skool (2007) " Each lame-duck gag hits the screen with an audible thud before the director decides to point his camera at something even less amusing." — Cinematical
Posted Apr 29, 2007
1/5 —— Zombies Gone Wild (2007) " The idea that you'd dole out 15 dollars for something so poor is just laughable." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Apr 28, 2007
1/5 —— The Eden Formula (2006) " If you're looking for a movie so bad it could teach small children what bad filmmaking is all about, here's the first thing you should pull off the shelf." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Apr 3, 2007
1/5 9% Norbit (2007) " A few more movies like Norbit and Eddie Murphy won't have a fanbase to kick around anymore." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Feb 9, 2007
1/5 4% Material Girls (2006) " Frankly movies like Material Girls sicken me; they're base and soulless and entirely unworthy of the celluloid they were filmed upon." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Dec 10, 2006
1/5 —— Evil Behind You (2006) " The thing starts out fun-bad, kind of like a novelty, but then gradually turns into a certifiable chore of biblical proportions." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Nov 25, 2006
1/5 —— Mummy's Kiss - Second Dynasty (2006) " Real porn is better is better than this stuff. And that includes the writing, the acting, and the cinematography, too." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Oct 25, 2006
1/5 —— The Karate Dog (2004) " Helen Keller could have made a better movie using only a Polaroid camera and some paper dolls." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Aug 28, 2006
1/5 —— Mr. Jingles (2006) " Barely even a "home movie" sort of movie." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Aug 9, 2006
1/5 —— Scorpius Gigantus () " Why you'd choose to watch the 4,224th lame-*** version of Alien over the real deal is simply beyond me." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Jul 21, 2006
1/5 —— Private Resort (1985) " An aggressively obnoxious and laugh-free stupid-fest that Mr. Depp will probably cringe at the next time he's walking through his favorite DVD shop." — DVDTalk.com
Posted May 30, 2006
1/5 —— Puff, Puff, Pass (2006) " It's just painful from stem to stern, and even the glassiest-eyeballed stoners will be hard pressed to sit through the whole interminable thing." — DVDTalk.com
Posted May 7, 2006
1/5 6% Big Momma's House 2 (2006) " Guys who direct snuff flicks in the slums of Khazakstan probably look at Big Momma's House 2 and think "Hey, I'm not such a terrible filmmaker after all!"" — DVDTalk.com
Posted Apr 30, 2006
1/5 —— The Scorned (2006) " The Scorned is precisely what a movie that was slapped together by a bunch of Reality Show Stars should be: laughable." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Apr 3, 2006
1/5 —— Revenge of the Red Baron (2006) " Astonishingly inept, ridiculously unwatchable..." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Mar 5, 2006
1/5 —— The Crazysitter (Two Much Trouble) (1995) " Eleven kinds of cinematic torture rolled up into one 90-minute migraine." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Feb 26, 2006
1/5 —— Rampage: The Hillside Strangler Murders (2006) " Bad horror movies are one thing, but bad horror movies that exploit real-life murders to make a few bucks... Ugh, that's just creepy." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Feb 7, 2006
1/5 —— Screwballs II (Loose Screws) (2005) " Nowadays you can see bare knockers by pushing three random buttons on your keyboard, and you don't have to sit through 78 minutes of pitiful comedy to get to 'em." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Jan 13, 2006
1/5 —— Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys (Demonic Toys 3) (2004) " I do believe this movie was loosely based on William Shakespeare's The Tempest, but I could be mistaken." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Jan 13, 2006
1/5 80% Cloud 9 (2006) " A volleyball "comedy" that has just as many laughs as a gall bladder operation." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Jan 10, 2006
1/5 18% Grandma's Boy (2006) " I won't even bore you with the horrendous way this project was shot, cut, or scrawled with crayon onto a roll of toilet paper. This thing makes the Police Academy movies look like the collected works of Billy Wilder." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jan 8, 2006
1/5 —— Here Come the Tigers (1978) " Here Come the Tigers was one of the first Bad News Bears rip-offs, but it still stands as one of the absolute worst." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Dec 29, 2005
1/5 7% Undiscovered (2005) " This thing makes Glitter look like gold." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Dec 21, 2005
1/5 —— Bob the Butler (2005) " That assertion that it's made for kids and therefore due for a "break" makes no freaking sense to me. Children deserve better than this garbage." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Nov 26, 2005
1/5 —— Death to the Supermodels (2005) " One of the stupidest, sloppiest, skankiest, and most amazingly unfunny comedies I've ever seen." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Nov 20, 2005
1/5 0% Heartbeeps (1981) " ...packs the sensation of shards of stained glass being wedged into your brain; Heartbeeps will, with very little effort, burn itself right into your next 15 nightmares" — DVDTalk.com
Posted Sep 22, 2005
1/5 8% Bolero (1984) (1984) " Cinema this toxic can either kill you with laughter or simply turn your brain into a pool of sex-obsessed pudding." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Sep 19, 2005
1/5 9% Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005) " Movies this bad should never be made -- and if they are, they should never be released. Except perhaps as some sort of Clockwork Orange-style prison experiment." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Aug 12, 2005
1/5 —— Miss Cast Away (2004) " It's fish in a barrel. Just trust me when I warn you never to rent, buy, or even discuss this mindless cinematic abomination." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Aug 5, 2005
1/5 13% Stealth (2005) " This movie hated me from the opening scene; two hours later, the feeling was more than mutual." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jul 28, 2005
1/5 53% The Devil's Rejects (2005) " Robert Cummings (OK, trick or treaters, sorry; it's ROB ZOMBIE) has officially become the Jerry Springer of the horror movie set." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jul 22, 2005
1/5 —— Zodiac Killer (2005) " This one could have skipped direct-to-video and gone direct-to-landfill." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Jul 15, 2005
1/5 —— The Sisterhood: Pledge of Evil (2004) " If anyone can tell me who this movie was made for, aside from DVD critics with no life and immediate relations of the cast members, I'd love to know who it might be." — DVDTalk.com
Posted Jul 15, 2005
1/5 —— Daddy Who? (2005) " Someone actually went out and made this movie. And then six full years after production wrapped, someone actually bothered to release the thing." — DVDTalk.com
