  1. The Fanatic
    Bad in ways that sometimes provoke a disbelieving guffaw, but more often stir pained embarrassment.
  2. The Great War
    The weapons look fake, the stiff action sequences play like poor re-enactments, and you frequently wonder how anyone managed to keep a straight face while firing off some embarrassingly simple-minded lines of dialogue. Even the bright red, corn-syrupy blood splattered around looks like it’s from a different decade of cinema.
  3. The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson
    It’s a cheap, unloving death march of a movie — scarcely made more intriguing by the half-cooked theory it posits as to who (or how many) did the deed.
  4. After We Collided
    “After” was merely awful. After We Collided is atrocious. Naturally, it’s proving an enormous pandemic-era hit.
  5. Grizzly II: Revenge (1983)
    “Grizzly II” never finds a rhythm — not even a giddily camp one.
  6. Roe v. Wade
    Ideologically scheming and visually inelegant, this is truly tacky stuff.
  7. Zero Contact
    Just when you think this nothing-burger can’t get any more exasperating, it spends a full 10 post-fadeout minutes on final credits.
  8. After Ever Happy
    When that final “to be continued…” title appears — and never has a girly, curly typeface looked more like a ransom note — it’s by far the most heart-clutching #Hessa moment so far, because we realize we’re still at least one whole movie away from release from our collective captivity to this absolute nonentity of a franchise.
  9. 365 Days: This Day
    It’s piping hot trash.
  10. Poolman
    I take no vicious pleasure in saying that Poolman, a movie that Pine co-wrote, directed, and stars in, is not only the worst film I saw during the fall festival season but would likely be one of the worst films in any year it came out.
