* '''''2025: The World Enslaved By a Virus''''', from German Christian content creators Joshua and Simon Wesely (who serve as [[CopiouslyCreditedCreator producers, directors, writers, and editors]]), is a 2021 film that's incompetent even by indie religious film standards. The premise is a dystopia where the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic (which is still going on by that year as far as the movie's concerned) has led to [[RedScare the spread of Communism]] and the prohibition of public meetings, and the protagonists venture out to bring Christianity back to society while fighting off a government of [[StrawCharacter strawmen]]. If that premise alone alienates you, don't worry too much -- after an {{Anvilicious}} InfoDump in the introduction, the COVID-19 aspect falls completely to the wayside. The actors (including Joshua Wesely as the protagonist Roy) seem to struggle with English, leading to very stilted line delivery, as well as copious amounts of {{padding}} where they speak about nothing particularly relevant. The editing is absolutely wretched; at one point, a solid black frame appears during a scene, and when the scene returns, one of the characters has vanished without explanation. The romantic leads, despite being played by Joshua and his young wife, have zero chemistry whatsoever. The action is underwhelming, with blatant HollywoodHacking, low-budget set design, and an oversimplified plot. To cap it all off, it has an awful DownerEnding. All this has earned it a dismal 1.2 on IMDB and a 2.1 on its native distribution service, Amazon Prime. WebVideo/KurtisConner [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D152lWYtMuA reviewed the film here]], saying that it made him reconsider his theory that all movies could be good.

* '''''Aag''''' ("Fire"), an unauthorized remake of the 1975 UsefulNotes/{{Bollywood}} classic ''Film/{{Sholay}}''. Despite boasting a strong cast with stars such as Creator/AmitabhBachchan and Mohanlal, this 2007 remake fails to carry and update, let alone understand, the conventions and the social commentary found in the original movie. Among the plethora of problems that plague the film are careless direction, horrid acting, poor attempts at trying to attract youth audiences with TotallyRadical dialogue, laughable editing, excessively slow pacing, and terrible music. A far cry from the box-office and critical phenomenon that was ''Sholay'', ''Aag'' only grossed 112.5 million rupees (then around $2.6 million US) total at the box office, making it one of the most disastrous {{Box Office Bomb}}s in Bollywood history. ''Aag'' was also torn to shreds by critics and audiences alike: the film has a paltry 1.4 on [=IMDb=], and FHM India placed it first in a list of the 57 worst movies ever made. Not even the film's stars defend the movie, with Amitabh Bachchan admitting that [[CreatorBacklash taking the role in the remake was a mistake]].

* '''''Film/DeckTheHalls''''' was a 2006 Christmas comedy film that was thrashed by critics and audiences for all the wrong reasons. The main plot is that Buddy (Creator/DannyDeVito) moves next to Steve's (Creator/MatthewBroderick) house, and [[ArchEnemy Steve is obviously not happy.]] Buddy realizes that his house is not visible from space, according to a Google Maps knockoff, so he decorates his house with Christmas decorations in order to make it visible; even though map apps don't use live feeds to display data. What happens next involves awkward acting (Matthew Broderick is WAY too awkward and wooden, even for a film like this), gross jokes (Ex: Buddy and Steve drool over 3 girls wearing Santa outfits, only to realize that they are their '''''daughters'''''), boring filler, a completely preposterous plot that's not interesting in the slightest, and two unsympathetic main characters. It's got a 6% on Rotten Tomatoes, and Creator/RichardRoeper [[https://youtu.be/prlosVOLuis?t=406 named it among the worst films of 2006]]. Not only that, people like [[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown Matthew Buck]], WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, [[WebVideo/CinematicExcrement the Smeghead]], and WebVideo/GoodBadOrBadBad [[https://vimeo.com/112609645 have also expressed]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrBeiGcVMhc their]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_gmLcIKf-s distaste]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foEKum6-QsI for this film]].
