* '''''The Tomb''''' — and for that matter, just about [[CurseOfTheZodiac anything]] directed by Ulli Lommel in the 2000s — manages to be one of the worst no-budget efforts ever. Despite having Creator/{{HP Lovecraft}}'s name in the title, it has nothing to do with the short story of the same name, or Lovecraft, for that matter. What it is is a Film/{{Saw}} ripoff that consists of a couple of idiots meandering around a warehouse filled with {{creepy doll}}s with Satanic markings on their heads, watching a bunch of people die shortly after meeting them, and being taunted by a PsychopathicManchild Jigsaw wannabe who calls himself the Puppetmaster, who abducted the female lead [[DisproportionateRetribution because she broke up with him in high school]]. Instead of trying to escape, they keep talking about just how similar their situation is to the titular short story (it's not. At all). And that's not even saying anything of the random shots of the cloaked, masked figure on a horse, or the fact that the hotel sign at the end is clearly penned with a Sharpie marker. It completely deserves its score of 1.4 on IMDb.

* '''''The Undefeated''''' [[note]](not to be confused with ''[[SimilarlyNamedWorks Undefeated]]'', the [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward Oscar]]-winning documentary about high school football that was released in the same year)[[/note]] is perhaps one of the biggest critical and commercial failures in the world of documentaries, with a 1.9 on Website/{{IMDb}}. The title makes it clear from the start that this is little more than a personal vanity project for UsefulNotes/SarahPalin. As a result, it blatantly and shamelessly promotes her while ignoring facts that reflect poorly on her (including the fact that she and John [=McCain=] ''lost'' the 2008 election). It's chock-full of yes-men, over-the-top, [[{{Anvilicious}} heavy-handed]] imagery and obvious falsehoods, with the odd {{demonization}} or two of left-wing ideologies. It came off as more of a lengthy campaign ad than a documentary, and with its many intelligence-insulting moments it failed at being ''that'', too. When ''The Atlantic'' sent one of their reporters to do a review, [[http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/07/sarah-palin-movie-debuts-to-empty-theater-in-orange-county/241983/ he noted that he spent most of the movie alone]]. Yes, three people bought tickets, and the other two walked out after 20 minutes (keep in mind this was in arch-conservative Orange County, California), [[DuelingMovies on the same day]] as [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows the last Harry Potter film]]. It was released the same year as ''Film/JackAndJill'', which set the record for most Razzies won. On both Website/RottenTomatoes and the Website/IMDb, it STILL has a lower rating than ''Jack and Jill''.

* You should know to abandon all hope when your film's actually named '''''Film/ViolentShit''''' and has taglines like "Experience a lesson in real BAD taste" and "Expect the worst". It's filled with terrible sounds, blurry images, {{padding}} to a ridiculous level for a plotless 75-minute film, and stuff that just doesn't make any sense at all. Despite that, it ended up having ''three'' sequels and having "K. The Butcher Shitter" appearing in '''five''' other films. If you don't believe us, ask [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvBcN7P_pO4 the Cinema Snob]] how good the film is. The only advantage the later films have is that the main character's name becomes "Karl 'The Butcher' Berger".
-->'''The Cinema Snob:''' ... This movie is so fucking awful, that comparing it to Uwe Boll '''IS AN ''[[InsultToRocks INSULT]]'' TO UWE BOLL.'''

* '''''Film/{{ROTOR}}''''', a ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' / ''Franchise/RoboCop'' ripoff where a robot cop/[[WTHCostumingDepartment leather daddy]] is in development for a Cyberpunk nihilistic future society for the purpose of judging felonies and misdemeanors and killing the people responsible for them but is activated early. The title robot is incredibly inept and the movie is full of {{Padding}}, pretentious dialogue, {{Fight Scene Failure}}s, and continuity errors. It also can't seem make up its mind on whether it wants to be a serious movie or a parody of the movies it is ripping off from, leading to serious tonal problems. And to top it off is one of the most unnecessary {{Diabolus Ex Machina}}s ever to be in a bad movie. WebVideo/RedLetterMedia [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s76vZATqLrE rip it a new one here]], while {{Something Awful}}'s Neil brothers honor it as their second '''-50 rating''' [[http://www.somethingawful.com/movie-reviews/rotor/1/ here.]]

* '''''Film/TheNeverendingStory III: [[http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/The_NeverEnding_Story_III__Escape_from_Fantasia_1994.aspx Escape from Fantasia]]''''' is yet another property InNameOnly. Neither [[SeriesContinuityError the most basic aspects of continuity]] (the Childlike Empress' castle isn't the highest point; it's possible to intentionally find the Wandering Mountains; Bastian's dad knows nothing about Fantasia) nor [[CharacterDerailment characterization]] (the Childlike Empress is a bossy 20-something-year-old; the wise Falkor now has [[AllAnimalsAreDogs the appearance (and brains) of a giant flying Scottish Terrier]]; the Rock-Biter becomes a BumblingDad in a terrible Flintstones-esque sitcom and at one point ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp7aOzkAWr4 sings "Born to Be Wild"]]'') nor much else (the villain, in stark contrast to the {{Eldritch Abomination}}s of the first two, is a bunch of [[TheBully school bullies]]; at no point in the film is the theme song played; Atreyu is completely absent) was even considered, and that's before factoring the heat-seeking, precision-guided, extra-sticky IdiotBall, one blatantly moronic case of ButThouMust, the constant {{Critical Research|Failure}} and {{Special Effects Failure}}s, and the great many {{Plot Hole}}s. [[OldShame You shouldn't ask]] Creator/JackBlack (who plays the main villain) or WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic (who reviewed the movie) about it…

* '''''Film/ShutIn''''' is a poorly-made horror movie that stars Creator/NaomiWatts (among many other top-notch actors like [[Series/StrangerThings Charlie Heaton]], [[Literature/{{Room}} Jacob Tremblay]] and Oliver Platt). The film's premise revolves around Watts' character being trapped in her house with her paralyzed stepson (Heaton) [[SnowedIn due to a winter storm]] and having to survive when it appears that someone is in the house and wishes them harm. However, this potentially-interesting premise [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot is ultimately wasted]], as the film jams in [[ClicheStorm every horror cliché from the book]], including {{Jump Scare}}s and dream sequence fakeouts, along with a ''lot'' of Skype scenes between Watts' and Platt's characters. However, the film is completely ruined by the [[ShockingSwerve ridiculous twist]] in the third act, when it is revealed that [[spoiler:her son has been faking paralysis the whole time, somehow fooling ''all'' of his doctors, and has also been drugging his stepmother the whole time, also without being noticed]]. It's no surprise that this film was panned by critics and audiences alike (it received a 3% with critics on Website/RottenTomatoes, with only one positive review out of 31, and 24% with audiences) and was [=EuropaCorp=]'s second BoxOfficeBomb of 2016, only making back $8.4 million worldwide on its $10 million budget.

** WebOriginal/RedLetterMedia's Mike Stoklasa revealed in one episode of ''WebOriginal/BestOfTheWorst'' that fans keep sending in VHS tapes of the film to review, with a row of ''20'' identical copies sitting on their shelf.

* '''''Film/ANightToDismember''''' has an interesting enough premise: A murderer from a cursed family investigates new sayings after being released. However, the film ran into the [[{{Understatement}} small problem]] of a disgruntled employee destroying half the film stock. Director Doris Wishman was forced to paste together a facsimile of a film from the surviving footage. This leads to a barely-comprehensible plot, horrific camera angles and there being virtually no dialogue sans a PrivateEyeMonologue by a secondary character. Naturally, this makes the film a barely-watchable mess that is generally considered SoBadItsGood by the most glowing possible reviews.

* '''''Night of Horror'''''. The "plot" is as follows: a bunch of ugly old farts and a rather pretty girl go on a road trip to the Virginia Mountain Country; 30 minutes of driving can be seen. They then arrive at the site, and at night are haunted by an old ghost. They then bury [[SpecialEffectFailure a fake-looking skull]]. Bam, movie over. But that's not all: there's a disclaimer at the start of the film warning people that it's "a depiction of an actual event", yet at the very end there's a warning stating that the [[MultipleChoicePast characters and stories are fictitious and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental]]. There is also [[LeaveTheCameraRunning a smudge on the lens for 10 minutes of the film]]. It would be on the [[SoBadItsGood other end of the spectrum]] if it wasn't so ''dull''. Website/TheAgonyBooth, as usual, says it best [[http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/Night_of_Horror_1981.aspx here]]. (WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob also tackled [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/bj/tcs/30831-night-of-horror it]]). The director also remade it as ''[[http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/The_Curse_of_the_Screaming_Dead_1982.aspx Curse of the Screaming Dead]]'', which, as the Booth made sure to point out:
-->The rights to distribute this movie were eventually bought up by Creator/{{Troma}} Studios, who repackaged it as ''[[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/bj/tcs/20672-cursecannibal Curse of the Cannibal Confederates]]'' and proudly declared it to be one of the worst films in its library. I say again: It's one of the worst films in the library of '''Troma Studios'''. And as terrifying a statement as that is, [''Night of Horror''] is that much worse.

* '''''Pocket Ninjas''''', a ''Film/ThreeNinjas'' rip-off that manages to look like someone took discarded storyboards from the worst ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' season ever and decided to film them on [[NoBudget $30 and whatever kids they could pick up from the local playground]]. Plot elements happen in almost reverse order, the editing is incoherent, the main villain (played by Z-movie veteran Robert Z'Dar) makes maybe two appearances before being replaced by his kids, [[GreenAesop eco-conscious messages]] are shoehorned in such a blunt fashion that [[WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanet Ted Turner]] would shake his head, the voiceover ''outright lies'' about the circumstances of the film (opening with a mention of the kids saving the universe when all the stakes are entirely local), the characters are dumber than stones in remedial class, and the dialogue thinks "butt-whiff" and "fat Republican" are the height of classy insults. Website/SomethingAwful takes a hatchet to it [[http://www.somethingawful.com/d/movie-reviews/pocket-ninjas.php here]], and if that's not enough you can watch it eat a part of [[Creator/AllisonPregler Obscurus Lupa]]'s soul [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/ol/olp/30354-pocket-ninjas here.]]

* '''''Film/ATalkingCat''''': If the title itself didn't already give a clue into the movie's quality (because it's not like talking cats [[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} have ever been done before]]) it only gets worse from there. The story is full of confusing {{plot hole}}s that don't make any sense, all the "drama" is [[ConflictBall forced and inexplicable]] as all hell, the acting is all [[DullSurprise wooden]], the characters are a combination of being frustratingly TooDumbToLive {{Captain Obvious}}es and aggressively unlikable {{Jerkass}}es. The effects are [[SpecialEffectsFailure unbelievably terrible]] (the cat has a MS Paint circle as a moving mouth!), the setting is all over the place (one minute it's set on an island, and another it's in the forest!), and the framing of the movie looks like a [=YouTube=] video. The film's budget was $1 million. Creator/EricRoberts, who stars as the titular cat in one of the worst examples of MoneyDearBoy ''ever'', recorded his lines in ''15 minutes'', and it shows. Roberts literally sounds like he phoned in his lines, and the actors have all the charisma of porn veterans attempting to act in a family-friendly movie, (which, as a matter of fact, several of them ''[[BleachedUnderpants are]]'', as is the director). There's a reason that more than a few [=YouTube=] commenters have referred to the film as a bad porno with a talking cat thrown in to fill up the space otherwise occupied by sex scenes. At several points in the film, the laser pointer and cat treats used to "direct" the titular cat are ''clearly visible''. For a movie that seems to have been an intended as a family-friendly fantasy film, there's also virtually no humor to interest the kids [[AudienceAlienatingPremise (or anything to interest anyone else, either.)]] It has an IMDB score of 3/10. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m76z5mgv5_A JonTron]], [[http://phelous.com/2014/03/19/obscurus-lupa/obscurus-lupa-presents/a-talking-cat/ Obscurus Lupa (helped by the Nostalgia Critic)]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0j8Jd8ipWY the Cinema Snob]] provide reviews perfectly summing up how bad this movie is!

* '''''Wired''''' (AKA "the movie Hollywood doesn't want you to see") is a notorious biopic about the late Creator/JohnBelushi based on the book of the same name by Bob Woodward, which was criticized for being exploitative and sensationalist and derided by John's family and friends, with good reason. The movie treats its subject as a stereotypical drug addict, was {{anvilicious}} with its message, and contains moments that never happened in John's life like him being punched by a Creator/JohnLandis lookalike while being high on coke (which Landis refuted) or performing live in concert as Music/TheBluesBrothers; it also contained a rather mean-spirited scene of John's ghost screaming for help as his body is cut open by a coroner, while a ''{{laugh track}}'' plays. The movie's reception was overwhelmingly negative, with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 4% and almost [[StarDerailingRole derailed]] Creator/MichaelChiklis's career before he bounced back with ''Series/TheCommish''. Perhaps as the result of the film's infamy, even in the age of streaming, ''Wired'' has [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes never received a physical home video release outside of a brief life on VHS and a poor-quality, out-of-sync print on Amazon Instant Video]]. WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob takes a look at it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P46aUeDn4Ek here]].

WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob [[http://www.strangekidsclub.com/2012/03/22/one-on-one-with-the-cinema-snob-an-interview-with-brad-jones/ has ranked it as even worse than]] ''Ax' Em'', ''Night of Horror'', and ''Las Vegas Bloodbath'' as perhaps the most painful movie he's ever reviewed.

* Jorge Ameer's '''''The Singing Forest''''': what was supposed to be an introspective, touching duet of stories instead turns into a [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible creepy, pretentious,]] [[{{Main/Anvilicious}} melodramatic mess.]] A middle-aged widower [[ComingOutStory comes out]], [[MrsRobinson falling for his daughter's fiancé.]] Reason being: [[InsaneTrollLogic he believes himself and the fiancé to be]] [[{{Main/Reincarnation}} reincarnated]] [[UnfortunateImplications from two young men in love]] in [[{{UsefulNotes/NaziGermany}} 1933 Germany]]. All involved are just as whiny as [[DesignatedHero Ben]] from ''Ben & Arthur,'' with tons of [[FetishRetardant slapdash nudity]] in place of eroticism. Its cosmetic qualities and editing are unacceptable for a 2003 film, looking like it was shot on super 8 film and sounding like having tin can for a microphone. Considering its [[HistoricalFiction semi-historical setting]], its true original sin rests in its inaccurate, tasteless, and [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment completely pointless]] use of [[StockFootage graphic photos from concentration camps and executions.]] Not to mention the 1933 setting is also pointless as the two young men in that setting ''[[NoBudget sleep in the same bed (sheets, room, and all) as the present-day characters,]]'' only in black-and-white. Altogether, it represents the worst of [[LeFilmArtistique arthouse drama.]]

* '''''[[Film/BabyGeniuses SuperBabies: Baby Geniuses 2]]''''' failed in much the same way that ''Disaster Movie'' did — it took faults the audience was willing to forgive and made them much, much worse. The writing's god-awful, with ostensible plot holes and the film itself quite obviously had a much lower budget (among other things, the lip-synching looks like it was done on drugs). The saddest part? It was the last thing Creator/BobClark (yes, [[Film/AChristmasStory the one you're thinking of]]) directed before his death. It got a very rare 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and sat on top of the [=IMDb=]'s Bottom 100 for years, at least until ''Saving Christmas'' and ''Code Name: K.O.Z.'' came along. Let's just see it send WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic [[http://channelawesome.com/nostalgia-critic-superbabies-baby-geniuses-2/ into a coma here]]... although interestingly enough, [[SurprisinglyImprovedSequel he considers the sequel slightly better than the first movie]].

** Unlike many of the movies on this page, its obscurity has far overshadowed its inadequacies. As of April 2017, no online video review of it exists. The only evidence of the full film existing resides on pirate MPEG sites and a very limited number of DVD's sold on Amazon. Despite that, it has earned a [[SarcasmMode prestigious]] '''[[EpicFail 1/100]]''' on Metacritic and '''0%''' from Website/RottenTomatoes. Stephen Holden of ''The New York Times'' said of ''Forest'': [[http://movies2.nytimes.com/2003/11/14/movies/14FORE.html "exploitative, amateurish, prurient and pretentious are other adjectives that could also be applied to this film, which is swamped in badly used classical music and burdened by purple hand-wringing dialogue and crude black-and-white flashbacks."]] Kevin Thomas of ''The Los Angeles Times'' gave ''Forest'' a half-star out of five, saying "if nothing else can be said of ''The Singing Forest'', it is assuredly fearless in defying credibility at every turn and on every level."

* '''''Nativity! 3: Dude, Where's My Donkey?''''' is a catastrophic failure of a holiday movie. The threequel of the British holiday franchise stars Martin Clunes as Mr. Shepherd, a teacher who [[EasyAmnesia loses his memory when the nativity donkey kicks him in the head]]. The film's plot, which has the pupils of St Bernadette's trying to get Mr. Shepherd to New York and remember Christmas with his fiancee (Creator/CatherineTate), is a disorganized mess filled with ear-piercingly bad dialogue. The few characters who returned from previous ''Nativity!'' movies have grossly devolved into [[{{Flanderization}} flanderized]] caricatures of themselves and repeat the same mistakes they've done in previous films without any of the charm. The film also features cheap-as-chips sets and horrific musical numbers filled with poorly-synced choreography. As identified by the 3.5 rating on Website/IMDb, moviegoers and critics alike in the UK have blasted the film to hell and back. Entertainment One has removed the like/dislike and comment features from its trailer on YouTube and it's likely that [[FranchiseKiller the franchise has been ruined by this disaster]]. Creator/MarkKermode [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJjQz7U04sQ shares his thoughts here]] and [[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown Matthew Buck]] gives [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x37lb4m his two-cents here]]. When Clunes did a guest spot on ''Series/HaveIGotNewsForYou'', not only did the panel constantly take the piss, but Clunes also joined in with the bashing.

* '''''Film/RockItsYourDecision''''' is quite possibly one of the worst Christian propaganda films ever made. It concerns around a Christian boy named Jeff, a rock music fanatic who concerns his mom, because she believes that all rock is evil and that he is harming himself by listening to it. He is then given a dare from a preacher to give it up for a week and research why it's "bad", and then becomes a fundamentalist, bigoted {{jerkass}} who alienates his friends by chewing them out for simply listening to the music they like. The film is utterly painful to watch as Jeff claims several things about rock (such as it being occultist) that he never backs up, and he winds up becoming an unlikable protagonist who is [[TearJerker forced to hate something he likes]], while his friends become {{Designated Villain}}s who [[StrawmanHasAPoint bring up several good points about why Jeff is wrong]]--among other things, he makes Melissa cancel her plans to go to a rock concert and forces her to listen to another station in the car, and gets pissed at Marty for simply playing ('''instrumental''') rock at his party. The film ends with a mind-numbingly stupid speech from Jeff, who then makes up a huge list of Satanic songs that includes Music/{{Santana}}'s "Evil Ways" (even though the song begins with "You've got ''to change'' your evil ways"), Music/JeffersonStarship's "Dance with the Dragon" (which is about the Chinese Year of the Dragon, ''not'' a Satanic dragon), Music/TheRollingStones' "Sympathy for the Devil" (which is written from Satan's view and has him claiming responsibility for various historical atrocities), Music/{{ACDC}}'s "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be" (which is a ''metaphor'' and is about a narcissistic man tormented by the women he hooks up with), and also bashes songs by milder artists such as Music/BarryManilow, Music/RodStewart and (get this) '''The Captain & Tennille''' just for having ''suggestive'' but largely ''non-explicit'' mentions of sex or referencing ''magic''. With poor camera quality, terrible messages, and hints of homophobia near the end, it's no wonder why the film has been torn apart in recent years. The film has a 1.6 rating on [=IMDb=], and was torn apart by several reviewers: ''[[http://www.shockcinemamagazine.com/rock.html Shock Cinema]]'', ''[[http://letterboxd.com/jeffisaacs/film/rock-its-your-decision/ Letterboxd]]'', ''Website/TheAgonyBooth'', Brad Jones on ''DVDRHell'', and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaKAujzR10Q Emer Prevost]] of ReactionAndReview.

* '''''Film/TheNeverendingStory III: [[http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/The_NeverEnding_Story_III__Escape_from_Fantasia_1994.aspx Escape from Fantasia]]''''', yet another property InNameOnly. Neither [[SeriesContinuityError the most basic aspects of continuity]] (the Childlike Empress' castle isn't the highest point; it's possible to intentionally find the Wandering Mountains; Bastian's dad knows nothing about Fantasia) nor [[CharacterDerailment characterization]] (the Childlike Empress is a bossy 20-something-year-old; the wise Falkor now has [[AllAnimalsAreDogs the appearance (and brains) of a giant flying Scottish Terrier]]; the Rock-Biter becomes a BumblingDad in a SitCom ripoff and at one point ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp7aOzkAWr4 sings "Born to Be Wild"]]'') nor much else (the villain, in stark contrast to the {{Eldritch Abomination}}s of the first two, is a bunch of [[TheBully school bullies]]; at no point in the film is the theme song played; Atreyu is completely absent) was even considered, and that's before factoring the heat-seeking, precision-guided, extra-sticky IdiotBall, one blatantly moronic case of ButThouMust, the constant {{Critical Research|Failure}} and {{Special Effects Failure}}s, and the great many {{Plot Hole}}s. [[OldShame You shouldn't ask]] Creator/JackBlack (who plays the main villain) or WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic ([[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/29277-neverending-story-3 who reviewed the movie]]) about it…

* The American remake of '''''Film/OneMissedCall'''''. The remake not only bungled every last component of Creator/TakashiMiike's classic, it also shamelessly ripped off other horror movies such as ''Film/FinalDestination'' and Creator/GoreVerbinski's rendition of ''Film/TheRing''. The film also failed in adapting the scenes directly ripped from the Japanese version, bewildering viewers who did not watch the original and angering the viewers who did. Even if the movie was not a remake, the film's plot is hopelessly lazy, the acting is poor, and the "shocks" were anything but scary. The remake's shortcomings were so egregious that [[GenreKiller it effectively killed any further interest in remaking Japanese horror films]]. As of this writing, it has a 0% rating on Website/RottenTomatoes and a score of 3.8 on Website/IMDb. The film also received the "accolade" of being named by Rotten Tomatoes as the 2nd worst movie of the 2000's.
