    Return to Sender
    Dreck of the lowest kind — a sleazy exploitation film that is all the worse because it has somehow convinced itself that it is thoughtful and profound.

    London Fields
    A boring and garish mess that even fans of the book will find nearly impossible to follow, this is easily the most embarrassing film with which Amis has ever been even vaguely connected.

    Guns Up
    While there are several problems with the film as a whole, perhaps the central one is that there are long stretches where viewers are expected to take the concept at least somewhat seriously, which proves impossible.

    Incarnate
    Incarnate is such a pointless bit of hackwork that it almost makes the recent horror dud “Shut In” seem focused by comparison.

    After We Collided
    A film so lazy and inane that it feels as contemptuous towards its audience as I am towards it.

    AfrAId
    Here is a film that is so awful in so many ways that at one point, it includes a clip from the notoriously dreadful “The Emoji Movie” and you begin to worry that that film’s reputation might be tarnished by association.

    Mother's Day
    None of the actors are able to find a way to rise above the material, instead just plowing through in the broadest manner possible while trying not to look too obviously embarrassed.

    Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension
    The sixth time is not the charm with this load of hooey that tries to make up for its lack of legitimate scares or basic narrative clarity by adding the alleged miracle of 3-D into the mix.

    London Has Fallen
    A horrible and wildly unnecessary follow-up that might actually be worse than its predecessor.

    Holmes & Watson
    So excruciatingly awful that you have to wonder what it was, other than their paychecks, that could have possessed the cast and crew to keep coming back each day, when it must have been obvious from the first day of shooting that the project was the most hopeless of cases imaginable.

    Harold and the Purple Crayon
    Here is a film that pays lip service to the importance of creativity without ever displaying a demonstrable shred of it during its seemingly interminable run time.

    No Escape
    Films don't get much dreggier than No Escape, a dreadful and creepily exploitative would-be thriller, low-grade trash that it is too silly and stupid to be as offensive as it frequently comes close to being throughout.

    Acts of Violence
    The film may be completely worthless from an artistic standpoint but it certainly can’t be beat from a convenience standpoint.

    The Emoji Movie
    A work so completely devoid of wit, style, intelligence or basic entertainment value that it makes that movie based on the Angry Birds app seem like a pure artistic statement by comparison.

    #Horror
    Not that anyone watching #Horror is likely to care in the slightest about who is doing the killing and who will survive.

    Dawn Patrol
    An odious stew of murder, revenge, casual racism and overt misogyny that is all the worse because of its apparent celebration of those ingredients.

    Ghosted
    This film is so smug and self-satisfied that you can practically feel the contempt everyone involved with its production has for its audience.

    Countdown
    Countdown pretty much fails on every level that a horror film possibly can — the characters are uninteresting dullards, the story is idiotic, and the scares are nonexistent.

    Death of a Nation
    The only thing preventing me from dubbing this one of the dumbest movies of any type that I have ever seen in my life is the fact that I am not entirely certain that something as shabbily constructed and artistically bankrupt as this actually qualifies as a movie in the first place.

    Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party
    Little more than an extended version of the kind of political screeds that can be found online with only a minimum of effort, this is just a terrible movie.

    Buddy Games: Spring Awakening
    The only thing holding me back from officially naming it the worst film ever is that it's so slapdash in its construction and inept in its execution that I am not entirely sure it should count as a film.

    The Starving Games
    The writing-directing team of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer now take aim at "The Hunger Games" with their latest effort, The Starving Games, and the fact that the title, as witless and uninspired as it may be, constitutes its humorous high-water mark should indicate just how ineptly they handle things this time around.
