  1. The Last House on the Left
    One sickening piece of garbage.
  2. 5 Days of War
    Harlin even makes poor Kilmer go running about. Just like that image, "5 Days" is embarrassingly clumsy.
  3. The Lodger
    Filled with second-rate Brian DePalma twists, noirishly blurred lights and usually solid actors mouthing potboiler brine, The Lodger resembles bottom-shelf '80s dreck.
  4. The Transporter Refueled
    The Transporter Refueled should be put up on blocks.
  5. Misconduct
    This isn't a movie, it's a rapsheet, a series of assaults committed against its cast and its viewers.
  6. Hot Pursuit
    Hot Pursuit gets cold quickly. That’s certainly not the fault of stars Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara, who work to keep this blessedly brief action-comedy shaking and cruising to an unthrilling end. The blame lies with a dopey script, director Anne Fletcher and a lazy Hollywood assumption that female buddy flicks should be as half-assed as their male counterparts.

    Bravetown
    This isn’t Bravetown. It’s Crazytown.
  8. Hardcore Henry
    Stupid as a bag of hammers and twice as loud, Hardcore Henry sounds like the title of the worst Kissinger bio ever. Actually, it's an action movie that feels more like you are trapped in a video game. A really, really bad video game.
  9. The Skulls
    Never graduates above the boneheaded.
  10. Perception
    An early and daunting contender for worst movie of the year, writer-director Irving Schwartz's amateurish melodrama stars a hollow-eyed Piper Perabo as a self-loathing young woman who has every reason to hate herself.
  11. Postal
    Where Boll's movies were once amusingly atrocious, Postal is so aggressively tasteless and knowingly idiotic, there's just no fun to be had.
  12. Spinning Into Butter
    If freshman film students were assigned to make a movie on race relations, this contrived attempt is probably what they'd come up with.
  13. Pixels
    Every joke is lame, every special effect unspecial.
  14. Head Over Heels
    Thekind of misfire that makes you understand why every waiter, parking valet and sushi delivery boy in Beverly Hills has a screenplay under his waistband.
  15. Apollo 18
    Has no thrills, no chills, no scares and contains a villain, or several of them, actually, that will turn you to stone -- from boredom.
  16. 88 Minutes
    This slimy, slug-minded mystery thriller starts out dead on arrival and then, like three-day-old fish, gets really bad really fast.
  17. Mortdecai
    Johnny Depp has done so much for us. Let us now return the favor and pretend Mortdecai, a disastrously misjudged career low, never existed.
  18. Kangaroo Jack
    It's fitting that the kangaroo gives the most lifelike performance.
  19. Awake
    Possibly the worst movie of 2007.
  20. Taken 3
    Even Liam Neeson seems bored by the imbecilic, repetitive “Taken 3,” an action movie no one was clamoring for and no one will enjoy.
  21. After Earth
    Summer 2013 has its first bomb, and sadly, it’s landed right on Will Smith.
  22. Goats
    Goats is just b-a-a-a-aad.
  23. Nymphomaniac: Volume I
    Danish director Lars von Trier makes this tale of one woman’s banal sexual adventures into inadvertent comedy. The film makes an analogy between sex and fly-fishing — and fly-fishing comes off as more intriguing.
  24. No One Lives
    Luke Evans, whose higher-profile work includes “Clash of the Titans,” this summer’s “Fast & Furious 6” and the next installments of “The Hobbit,” smolders embarrassingly. But he shouldn’t be embarrassed. In the shadows, that could be anyone.
  25. Swept Away
    A shrill, amateurish two-character play that demeans women and leaves men with the quaint notion that the best way to a woman's heart is through enslavement.
  26. I Will Follow You Into the Dark
    Rare is the film so ineptly made that it barely deserves the dignity of a review. Which, on the one hand, makes this slapdash horror romance somewhat unusual. On the other, however, you’re wasting valuable time just reading about it.
  27. I Love You, Beth Cooper
    This unfunny, unoriginal, charmless teen comedy is so stunningly awful from start to finish, it's amazing to think its director has made a single film before, much less a dozen.
  28. Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000
    One of the darkest, ugliest, most uninvolving and incomprehensible major-studio fantasies I've ever seen.
  29. Date Movie
    "Comedy is hard," said Steve Martin. For the writers of Date Movie, it's apparently impossible.
  30. Vice
    Here’s hoping Bruce Willis bought something special with whatever cash he earned from this pointless, brutally ugly rehash of 1973’s “Westworld.”
