  1. Lady of the Manor
    The screenplay is painfully incompetent, the comedy is puerile, and the direction limps along like a set of disconnected skits, with no sense of pacing or rhythm. It is genuinely painful to see some of the most talented and appealing actors in Hollywood, including Justin Long himself, wasted in a movie that shows such a lack of respect for the audience.
  2. Gracie & Pedro: Pets to the Rescue
    Shrill, frantic, and hideous to look at, “Gracie & Pedro: Pets to the Rescue” isn’t just one of the worst animated movies of the year—it’s one of the worst movies of the year, period.
  3. Tempest
    The movie is an ambitious experiment, but a long and tedious one, and our revels end long before Mazursky's.
  4. Literally, Right Before Aaron
    It’s painful to watch. Not because no one cares about Adam’s heartache. But because the movie is boring, trite, sexist tripe that wants to make the viewer empathize with a guy who’s actually pretty aggressive in his pursuit of loserdom.
  5. Alice Through the Looking Glass
    I removed my eyeballs from my head as soon as I got back from Alice Through the Looking Glass and cleaned them in a sink. I could have left them in and only cleaned the fronts, but I didn't want to take any chances.
  6. Separation
    William Brent Bell’s Separation is an atrocious piece of work, a movie that fails as both a domestic drama and as a horror flick, and really feels like the kind of thing that everyone involved is going to have to discuss in therapy someday to get to the bottom of why it was even made in the first place.
  7. Lumina
    There are bad movies, there are really bad movies, and then there’s “Lumina,” a film so breathtaking in its overall incompetence that one starts to wonder if it’s not intentionally so in the hope of being the next “The Room” or “Birdemic.”
  8. The Tax Collector
    Once you get past the horrifically casual racist stereotypes, non-existent character depth, incoherent plotting, clichéd dialogue, and baffling editing, what’s perhaps most insulting is how numbingly boring the whole affair ended up. If you’re going to make a movie this lazily, at least try to make it fun!
  9. Temple
    This is the horror movie equivalent of canned Spam: you could have it so much better if you tried harder (or at all).
  10. Nine Lives
    Let’s just say I have been to wakes that have elicited more laughs.
  11. But Always
    A trite, and slavishly inoffensive romantic drama.
  12. The Forgiven
    The Forgiven consequently only succeeds as an ugly, empty-headed provocation.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence)
    A cynical, and consistently unpleasant film with creators who try very, very hard to push as many of your buttons as they can.
  16. Alice
    If this film were a person, it would tell you it had a Black friend and voted for Obama twice. That’s how insultingly simplistic it is about race.
  17. China Salesman
    The film's nature as a work of propaganda would be more deplorable—or at least eyeroll-inducing—if it weren't so poorly blocked, scripted, performed, and choreographed. There is no joy in Seagal-ville, dear rubber-neckers, because pretty much everybody here has struck out.
  18. City of Dreams
    It is another advocacy film without answers, pretending that the mere act of bringing awareness to a problem solves it.
  19. 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.
  20. Funhouse
    The action in Funhouse is consistently cheap and generally silly. That’s sort of the movie’s point, but it’s also sort of hard to care when everything else is so tacky.
  21. DriverX
    DriverX is worse than just one of the year’s most vapid movies, it’s an out-and-out nightmare of late-stage capitalism.
  22. Kingsman: The Golden Circle
    It’s violence for cowardly voyeurs who want to make the people who annoy them just shut up in a way that’s silent, sterile, and thoroughly humiliating to the victim.
  23. Retaliation
    If Retaliation were a friend, you’d eventually avoid them.
  24. 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.
  25. Nina
    You’ll see some durable makeup in Nina. What you won’t see is any justification why this film should exist.
  26. The Instigators
    This Apple TV heist flick is underwritten, dreary, tedious, inert, and without any stakes. I almost hesitate to write too much about it because this soulless dreck feels so unworthy of adding blemishes to the white page.
  27. Like Father Like Son
    Like Father Like Son is at once unintentionally hilarious and borderline reprehensible, and it’s the closest approximation to the disaster of “The Room” since Tommy Wiseau’s cult favorite first graced arthouse theaters over 20 years ago.
  28. Running on Empty
    There’s almost nothing to savor from this movie past its initial premise, and, like a funeral that drags on in the summer heat, takes far too long to get to its inevitable conclusion.
  29. Dangerous Men
    Bad acting, bad writing, bad directing, bad music, bad sound and bad fight choreography can only take a film so far. A film must be entertaining on its own terms in order to be worth recommending, and Dangerous Men is, for the most part, a bore.
  30. The Fanatic
    Fred Durst’s The Fanatic hates fans. It hates actors. It hates tourists, shop owners, and servants. It really, really hates autistic people. And it hates you. It’s a movie that thinks you’re an idiot, someone who won’t see through its shallow provocations, illogical behavior, and vile misanthropy.
