27 Songbird

(#14) Both filmed during and depicting the pandemic—though, since it's set a few years in the future, the coronavirus has mutated and now causes covid-23—this Michael Bay-produced dystopian thriller shows no signs of being rushed to market. On second thought, now that we look at the reviews, that's not true at all—it's exactly as bad as you would have guessed. And it only costs $20 to rent.

“For all of its gimmicky appeal, Songbird is bad enough that your entire neighborhood will be able to smell it streaming onto your TV, and it gets worse faster than your nose can adjust to the stench.” —David Ehrlich, IndieWire
